Timothy J. Owens, a Purdue University associate professor of sociology who studies self-concept and identity, says it is too early to tell how the self-esteem of the young men and women serving in today's military will be shaped by their experiences. He cautions others to remember how the Vietnam War affected the self-esteem of some adolescent males who were involved. Owens' research, which analyzed the feelings of self-worth of men who chose three different paths to adulthood after leaving high school ‹ college, military or full-time work ‹ in 1969 will be reported in his upcoming book, "From Adolescence to Adulthood in the Vietnam Era," to be published by Springer Press this month.
