Blanchard, Caleb (2026)

Published

At a GlanceAI

Tests whether shared subjective experiences with coworkers can reduce veterans’ isolation and improve job satisfaction.

SummaryAI

Many veterans feel that civilians do not understand their experiences, which may hinder workplace reintegration. This planned longitudinal study tests whether weekly reflection on “I-sharing” experiences with coworkers reduces existential isolation compared with writing about neutral experiences. If effective, the approach could identify a simple workplace-relevant route to support veterans’ well-being and employment satisfaction during transition.

Method SnapshotAI

A longitudinal controlled writing-intervention study with follow-up surveys.

BackgroundAI

Basic knowledge of social psychology, veteran reintegration, and workplace well-being.

I-Sharing, not exactly existential isolation
