Based on data from Swiss military recruits in basic training (N = 396), this study examines how universal and military-specific values and virtues relate to organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and motivation to assume military leadership roles (MALR). Results show that both universal values (e.g. Intellectualism, Harmony) and military values and virtues (e.g. Good Soldiership, Fortitude) are associated with leadership-relevant outcomes. Hierarchical regression analyses further reveal that military values and virtues explain additional variance beyond universal values. These findings suggest that culturally embedded value systems, such as those institutionalized in the military, are distinctly associated with prosocial and leadership-oriented behavioral and motivational tendencies. They offer conceptual insights into the relevance of value frameworks within military organizations institutionally shaped by mission command principles.","PeriodicalId":18696,"journal":{"name":"Military Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149149895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The spillover-crossover model suggests that work-related stressors can spill over to affect individual well-being and cross over to intimate partners, shaping couple dynamics. However, findings on the relationship between deployment and relationship satisfaction are mixed, perhaps in part because of different ways of measuring deployment history. Using dyadic survey data from 285 U.S.-based military couples with an active-duty service member and their civilian spouse, three separate path models were tested to assess the association between deployment and marital satisfaction with three different operationalizations of deployment history. Associations with other military characteristics, including the number of permanent change of station moves, years of service, and branch were also investigated in these models. Service members who reported at least one combat deployment reported higher marital satisfaction than those who had experienced only non-combat deployments. However, when service members were injured during a combat deployment mission, their spouses reported lower marital satisfaction. Surprisingly, of the other military characteristics examined, more PCS moves were consistently related to greater marital satisfaction. Overall, the results indicated that these military families were largely resilient and successful at navigating the relationship challenges of military life, suggesting a strength-based approach for efforts with military couples. Practical implications are also considered, particularly for families with an injured service member. Limitations and future directions for research are also shared.","PeriodicalId":18696,"journal":{"name":"Military Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149128119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The training taught how to conduct mental health assessments, identify signs and symptoms, provide interventions to prevent and manage concerns, and how to determine if medical evacuation for mental health was needed. Participants completed pre- and post-training, mid-deployment (n = 100) and post-deployment (n = 106) surveys assessing personal, unit level and deployment characteristics, helpfulness of the trained skills and use of skills. Around two-thirds indicated the trained skills were moderately or very helpful during deployment. Mental health knowledge and confidence using the skills remained significantly elevated at mid-deployment as compared to pre-training. Participants utilized all of the skills with more SMs during deployment compared to pre-training. Religious affairs participants, those who had more mental health experience, and those reporting higher operational tempo and communication problems with home during deployment utilized the skills with a greater number of SMs, while those reporting higher unit morale used the skills with fewer SMs. This newly developed training is a mechanism to educate non-provider SMs on critical mental health material so that they will be better prepared to prevent and address mental health concerns in operational environments of the future.","PeriodicalId":18696,"journal":{"name":"Military Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149062832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While existing research on Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) has focused primarily on ex-combatants and community outcomes, limited attention has been given to the psychological impact on security actors responsible for implementation. Drawing on Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of semi-structured interviews with eight Nigerian military personnel, this study explores how these individuals make sense of their roles within a context characterized by psychological ambiguity and emotional strain. The findings identify cognitive dissonance as a central mechanism shaping participants' experiences, emerging from the tension between their identity as protectors and their institutional role in supporting the rehabilitation of former adversaries. This dissonance manifests through emotional conflict, conditional empathy, and persistent psychological distress, including anxiety, hypervigilance, and symptoms associated with trauma exposure. Participants' accounts also reflected moral conflict and perceived institutional betrayal, which are discussed as moral injury-related distress rather than as clinically measured moral injury. These experiences are further intensified by perceived institutional neglect and structural inequalities within the program. The article demonstrates that psychological strain among DDR implementers is structurally embedded within program design and extends cognitive dissonance theory into post-conflict and active-conflict reintegration settings. It argues for the integration of trauma-informed and psychologically responsive policies within DDR frameworks.","PeriodicalId":18696,"journal":{"name":"Military Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149062778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the increasing number of women serving as combat soldiers in Israel and being exposed to the pressures of war and military traumas, it is of great importance to address the unique characteristics of these women. This is even more crucial in the aftermath of the October 7th disaster and the subsequent ongoing war in which many female soldiers participated and were exposed to trauma. This research project accompanies the establishment of Arim Roshi, a nonprofit association, which is dedicated to supporting women veterans and security personnel who had experienced trauma during their service, many of whom suffer from PTSD. This study seeks to examine the needs of these women and identify appropriate interventions for them. The study consisted of a qualitative exploratory study involving three focus groups with a total of 15 women, all of whom had served in the military/security service and were diagnosed with PTSD. The data were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Thematic analysis revealed three main themes: 1. Gender differences and stigmas in male‑dominated environments. 2. Military trauma effects on the female body and body image. 3. Needs of women coping with military trauma. Conclusions: Female soldiers with military trauma experience unique challenges, including gender bias, isolation, and impacts on motherhood/body image.

In turn, substance use exacerbates mental health issues and increases the risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Military identity, a unique set of values, culture, and camaraderie within the Armed Forces, is hypothesized to further shape these relationships. Using data from 1,459 U.S. military Veterans, we examined whether three dimensions of military identity - idealism, professionalism, and individualism - moderated the associations between combat exposure, substance use, and suicide risk. Following a confirmatory factor analysis of military identity, logistic and multiple linear regression models were conducted to examine the moderating effects of each military identity domain on substance use and suicide risk, respectively. Our results revealed that strong idealism buffered the associations between combat exposure and both substance use and suicide risk, whereas higher levels of professionalism were associated with a weaker relationship between combat exposure and substance use but were not significantly related to suicide risk. Conversely, a highly individualistic military identity strengthened the association between combat exposure and substance use. These findings suggest that strengthening protective aspects of military identity through targeted interventions may enhance active-duty military members' and combat Veterans' overall well-being and reduce substance use and suicide risk.","PeriodicalId":18696,"journal":{"name":"Military Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148970258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since then, no subsequent research has examined these relationships in greater depth. To expand knowledge on socialization, our study investigates the relationships between these three dimensions, affective organizational commitment, and intention to quit. During their socialization process, 246 Belgian military candidates completed an online questionnaire two (Time 1) and nine weeks (Time 2) after joining the military organization. Cross-lagged analyses revealed positive reciprocal relationships between affective organizational commitment and two dimensions (organization and group), as well as negative reciprocal relationships between these two dimensions and intention to quit.
