Abstract
The present study examines the relationship between receipt of stress management training, ratings of the adequacy of the training, and several outcome variables of interest to the military, including physical symptoms, symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), morale, leadership, retention intentions, and marital functioning. Results indicate that soldiers receiving training and rating the training as adequate also reported fewer negative outcomes (physical symptoms, symptoms of PTSD) and more positive outcomes (morale, leadership, retention intentions, marital functioning) even after controlling for combat exposure. Discussion of the results focuses on implications of these findings for the Army and for soldiers' health. Limitations of the present study are also discussed.
