Description

Tayler Truhan and Cherie Armour test whether friendships guard veteran men against anger after childhood harm in a 2023 study. Five hundred ninety male veterans in Northern Ireland gave survey data. Childhood abuse, neglect, and household strain were scored beside support from family, friends, and partners. Anger levels formed the outcome of interest.

Strong friend support erased the link between abuse and anger. The same held for household strain under high friend support. Top partner support also cut the abuse link to anger. Family support, by contrast, changed nothing in the models. Friendship programs like Men Sheds may blunt lifelong anger risk, the authors suggest.
