This report explores the relationship between spouse attitudes and perceptions, resource use, and soldier retention almost two years later, using a proposed theoretical model. Our results generally support our model, with the important change that resource use and unmet needs and stress were not directly associated with specific attitudes toward staying in the military as we had expected. Instead, the association was accounted for by relationship with general attitudes toward the military. Spouses whose needs were unmet after seeking help from available resources experienced greater stress, and spouse unmet needs and reports of greater stress were associated with worse general attitudes toward the military; worse general attitudes toward the military were associated with less inclination to stay a military family; which in turn predicted soldier turnover almost two years later.

When assessing influences on performance, e.g., by sleep-deprivation or heat-stress in intervention designs, researchers face a dilemma: They can either examine highly trained military experts in their jobs, thus risking limited generalizability of their results, or use standard measures of cognitive performance with little ecological relevance. To solve this dilemma, we developed a multidimensional job simulation by abstracting a wide range of military jobs into a generic military simulation of a complex workplace (GEMS COW). It had to meet the following requirements: 1) validly and reliably measure the relevant psychological constructs of the abstracted jobs, 2) require only minimal training, and 3) score high acceptance with military specialists. GEMS COW assesses attention, short-term memory (sm), and working memory (wm) in a lifelike setting.

Psychometric properties proved satisfactory (construct validities: wm = .58, attention = .45, sm =.68; retest reliability: .61-.90).
