摘要

The current study investigates the relationship between environment/stressvariables and well-being, job satisfaction, and attitudes toward retention and readiness in active duty female soldiers. Furthermore, the way in which social support moderates this relationship is explored. To date, 120 participants have completed a packet of questionnaires, and 19 participants have completed individual interviews to obtain additional qualitative information re: their military experiences. An additional 80 participants are being solicited prior to completing data analyses. Upon completion of data analyses, the hypotheses will be evaluated, results compiled, and a report completed.
