People who work in a "classified" environment are obliged to secrecy regarding their work (defense industry, law enforcement, therapists, etc ...)
Is there any evidence that these workers are also sparse in their communication outside the work environment ? For example, is it more difficult for them to communicate with their spouses, compared to non-classified workers?
Shalom Yaron Shlomi,
if we are speaking about the secret research work, we must know that all researches will be the property of this organization and the diffusion of notices about these researches will be illegal. In this case worker (researcher) must to control his contract. As for me the worker's wife mustn't to know that information and for this reason he will have more distance from her. In russian literature of KGB agents there are a lot information about this situation, but the scientific reports are absent or secret. I had one research in Ukrainian Army in 2014 : evaluation of homophobia in front's soldiers. The officers said that this information I will can to publish only in 2019 (after 5 years). I hope that I helped you in some mood. Bogdan Tuziak, MPy, BJur, BPhil
I have to say that's an excellent answer. It shows you just how difficult your research will be! One source might be "whistleblower" books. There must be some from the USA, the UK, and probably even Russia these days.

You might want to look at divorce rates amongst law enforcement workers compared to the general populace for some accessible data.... it will be difficult to establish a causal link but might prove to be a useful indicator.
Secret is a secret and everyone have some. Goverment, company, family, friends, your own secrets. Try to talk with priests about confession secrets. During confession they can hear a lot of thinks and they (should) keep them in silience for everyone. For most other secrets you can talk about with someone (coworker, wife etc.) without harming a rules.
