abstract="This study examined associations between sensation seeking and perceived need for structure, and changes in reported well-being among deployed soldiers. Participants (n = 167) were assessed before and after a six-month deployment to south Afghanistan. <br><br>RESULTS indicated that although well-being declined in the soldier sample as a whole following deployment, the degree of decrease was significantly different among soldiers with different personality profiles. Differences were moderated by soldiers' level of sensation seeking and perceived need for structure. <br><br>DISCUSSION: Results are discussed in terms of a person-environment fit theory in the context of preparation and rehabilitation of deployed military personnel.<p />",
