Abstract Details

1995, Doctor of Philosophy, Case Western Reserve University, Social Welfare.
This study assessed the levels of violence exposure, coping strategies used, levels of post-traumatic stress symptoms, and the relationship among exposure to violence, coping, post-traumatic stress symptoms, and early discharge in U.S. Army recruits at Basic Combat Training. The study used a modified ABCX model of adolescent adaptation. A sample of 779 Basic Combat Training recruits were surveyed before training began. At the end of training, data was collected on those recruits who had been discharged prior to completion of training. Measures of association were used to assess the relationship between the variables. Results supported four of the six hypotheses tested. Significant positive relationships were found between violence exposure and trauma symptoms, as well as levels of trauma symptoms and odds of early discharge. Patterns of association were found between exposure to different types of violence and specific symptom clusters of traumatic stress. Patterns were also found between types of coping strategies employed and symptom clusters of traumatic stress.
