How did the Cuban Missile Crisis affect everyday Americans' views on their country's role in the world? Is there evidence that the events directly led to any isolationist/anti-cold war movements? Or perhaps it had the opposite effect and led to a sense of American pride and power (as they ultimately came out on top)?
Additionally, could the anti-war movement, particularly to do with Vietnam, be seen as a result of the threat of nuclear strike within the psyche of the everyday American?
Thanks

It's not really possible to answer this question because of the difficultly of finding out the "everyday American's views on their country's role in the world".

You can look up a history of the anti-cold-war movements and see if many emerged at that time.
Additionally, could the anti-war movement, particularly to do with Vietnam, be seen as a result of the threat of nuclear strike within the psyche of the everyday American?
Absolutely. The vietnam can totally be seen as an extension of the cold war, and nuclear arms are behind that conflict.
On a final note, the cold war is not over and nuclear weapons are still very dangerous
