This study used a 360-degree approach to examine how positional power asymmetries influence the relationship between trustworthiness and trust for a general and situation-specific referent. Data were obtained from military supervisors (N = 200), peers (N = 123), and subordinates (N = 85). Measures of trustworthiness and trust of a common military officer were obtained. Supervisors and subordinates differed in their relative weighting of trustworthiness factors (i.e. ability, benevolence, and integrity) when evaluating general and specific trust. Peers evidenced no difference in the relative weighting of trustworthiness factors. The relationship between benevolence and specific trust was stronger for subordinates than for supervisors. One implication of our findings is that trust can develop differently in bottom-up versus top-down organizational relationships. This study provides evidence that supervisors and subordinates emphasize different aspects of trustworthiness when evaluating their trust of a focal officer, and this process was different for general versus specific trust referents. The study also extends previous research by replicating previous findings across raters.","PeriodicalId":18696,"journal":{"name":"Military Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"338-351"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12413059/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141555221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So, because of the uniqueness of transitioning from the military to civilian employment, the present paper sought to identify perceived interviewing strengths and weaknesses of veteran interviewees from (a) the perspective of civilian sector human resource professionals (i.e. hiring personnel) with experience interviewing veterans (Study 1, five focus groups, N = 14), and (b) veterans (Study 2, N = 93). Qualitative analysis of the focus group transcripts resulted in the emergence of two theme categories: (1) veteran interviewee strengths and (2) veteran interviewee weaknesses. This information guided the development of a 10-item survey that was completed by 93 veterans (Study 2). In its totality, the results (from both Study 1 and Study 2) indicated that communication of soft skills, confidence, and professionalism were perceived to be strengths that veterans displayed during civilian employment interviews, and conversely, the ineffective translation and communication of relevant technical skills acquired in the military, use of military jargon, and nervousness were considered to be weaknesses. Recommendations to capitalize on the strengths and mitigate the weaknesses are presented.","PeriodicalId":18696,"journal":{"name":"Military Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"280-292"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12413033/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141086573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings indicated that the association of (1) spouses' perceptions of their own mental functioning with spouses' and service members' adjustment and (2) spouses' mental readiness for deployment with service members' adjustment both differed by spouse gender, with associations attenuated for male spouses and their service member partners. Other factors associated with family adjustment included the spouse's satisfaction with communication, the extent to which the service member shared deployment experiences, the extent to which the spouse was bothered by deployment experiences, the spouse's participation in postdeployment transition programs, the spouse's informal support during deployment, and length of deployment. Results indicated shared and gender-specific risk and protective factors associated with spouse and service member adjustment, demonstrating the importance of tailored military family support programs addressing the needs of different populations of military spouses.","PeriodicalId":18696,"journal":{"name":"Military Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"437-450"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12413068/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142470018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these concerns, a combat-to-reconstitution policy was developed to provide additional downtime and recovery to RPA personnel, and recently piloted in some units within the RPA community. A total of 397 RPA personnel, of which 26% (n = 103) indicated their schedule was either internal or external reconstitution, completed an anonymous occupational health assessment sometime between November 2021 and July 2022. Responses included a mixture of both positive and negative experiences during the implementation of reconstitution, along with recommendations for improvements. Certain reconstitution-related sources of stress (e.g. work overload, lack of resources), were found to increase risk of burnout or psychological distress. Overall, this preliminary study provides a foundational landscape for the scientific and operational understanding of reconstitution as an operational intervention to improve recovery.","PeriodicalId":18696,"journal":{"name":"Military Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142780469","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 German sample comprised a total of n = 45 individuals (n = 29police special forces; n = 16 unspecialized soldiers) who conducted psychometrics and a CQB test consisting of three scenarios. In these scenarios, two independent experts evaluated tactical behavior, weapon handling, gaze behavior, response time, and failures using a standardized behavioral observation instrument based on video recordings (external cameras and mobile eye-tracking). The results revealed that only extraversion predicted the CQB performance (β = -.40, p = .035). However, the mean 2D:4D ratio was strongly associated with gaze behavior (r = .45, p = .007), tactical behavior (r = .41, p = .019), and attentional ability (p = .57, p < .001).

The study analyzes their experiences of how PTSD affects their cognitive functions. The transcribed interview data were analyzed using the MAXQDA 2020 program and a thematic analysis approach. Two main themes emerged: positive thoughts before trauma and negative thoughts after trauma. Within negative post-traumatic thoughts, three themes were identified: Thought content; Thought function; Acceptance and adaptation over time, with a total of 11 sub-themes. These results indicate that PTSD has adverse effects on the cognitive functions of both veterans and their spouses. Notably, these findings align with criterion D of PTSD in DSM-V.

As the number of waivers approved has progressively increased over the last decade, the question of long-term service and performance has emerged. A longitudinal analysis was performed to assess time-in-service outcomes from individuals who received a waiver for a mental health condition while in Basic Military Training (BMT). Population data were retrieved from the Authoritative Data Environment (ADE) and aggregated using Tableau Software. A comparative classification analysis was conducted to determine, within the population of individuals who received waivers for mental health while at Recruit Training Command between 2014 and 2022, those still in active duty who have completed their initial service obligation, and those who separated early from the Navy. Results indicate nearly 93% of 1,356 approved waivers are still actively serving or have completed their initial service contract. While current data show a majority of individuals with approved waivers are still actively serving, the process must continue to be comprehensive in accordance with relevant Department of Defense Instructions. The importance of this research is crucial to the entire military, not just the Navy. It is recommended that each military branch complete a similar longitudinal study that evaluates the continued service engagement of recruits recommended for a waiver and, furthermore, devise a way to track performance, utilization of medical and mental health care, career advancement, and success in a specified branch to determine if guidelines should be adjusted.","PeriodicalId":18696,"journal":{"name":"Military Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142639267","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}

Considering this information, it is important to analyze how veteran peers could assist in a suicidal crisis. Veteran responses (n = 1,247) to the Gatekeeper Behavior Scale (GBS) and Firearm Safety Scale (FSS) were analyzed to determine predictive traits of willingness to assist a peer securely store or disable firearms during a suicidal crisis. Results show that veterans are willing to assist in securing firearms to prevent suicide death but are more willing to do so by locking, removing or disabling the firearms than storing them with law enforcement.

Yet, as of 2016, all occupational specialties in the United States military are open to women and, as such, the number of women that make up the Services is projected to continue rising. The growing presence of women within the military ranks may be at odds with the traditionally masculine military culture, potentially resulting in gender-based stigmatization of female Service members. The current study qualitatively assessed perceived gender stigmatization among newly commissioned male (n = 654, 87%) and female (n = 101, 13%) US Marine Corps officers entering The Basic Course (BOC) at The Basic School (TBS), a six-month secondary training course. A thematic analysis of open-ended survey questions identified that males and females described aspects of gender stigma similarly, with emphases on females' tendency to be viewed as weaker and needing to \"prove themselves,\" and a call for equal physical fitness standards for both genders. There were mixed opinions as to whether gender stigmatization should be acknowledged and addressed or dismissed and ignored. Some participants voiced that bringing gender stigma to the attention of Service members could artificially inflate the magnitude of the issue and increase gender stigmatization that is otherwise negligible or non-existent. The insights offered by the participants of this study can help shape the direction of policies and procedures aimed at increasing equality and opportunities for success for Marine officers of all genders.
