Abstract

U.S. military veterans attend college in increasing numbers, yet, often without a sense of attachment to their university. This mixed-methods exploratory study examined sense of belonging, happiness, and stress-coping outcomes for student veterans (N = 9) participating in a backpacking event. Results indicate the treatment group’s happiness level improved significantly over the control group, t(7) = 2.80, p = .027. Treatment group scores also improved on stress-coping, t(7) = 1.56, p = .163, and sense of belonging, t(7) = 2.28, p = .056; however, results were not statistically significant. The backpackers attributed increases in social belonging and happiness to the following elements of the trip: social support, stress coping, physical benefits, and camping skills. Although further quantitative research is indicated using larger and more diverse participant groups, findings from this study support the use of outdoor programming with veteran college students.

背包老兵:探索归属感、幸福感和压力应对

越来越多的美国退伍军人上大学，然而，他们往往对大学没有依恋感。本研究考察了参加背包旅行的退伍军人学生(N = 9)的归属感、幸福感和压力应对结果。结果显示，治疗组幸福感水平较对照组显著提高，t(7) = 2.80, p = 0.027。治疗组的压力应对得分t(7) = 1.56, p = 0.163，归属感得分t(7) = 2.28, p = 0.056;然而，结果没有统计学意义。背包客将社会归属感和幸福感的增加归因于旅行中的以下因素:社会支持、压力应对、身体健康和露营技能。虽然进一步的定量研究表明需要使用更大、更多样化的参与者群体，但本研究的结果支持在资深大学生中使用户外节目。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
