Understanding how deployment experiences change over time: Comparison of female and male OEF/OIF and Gulf War veterans
Despite increased attention to the evolving nature of war, the unique challenges of contemporary deployment, and women's changing role in warfare, few studies have examined differences in deployment stressors across eras of service or evaluated how gender differences in deployment experiences have changed over time. Using data collected from two national survey studies, we examined war cohort and gender differences in veterans' reports of both mi…

Participants were obtained via a national registry ofGulf War veterans and were mailed a survey assessing deployment experiences and postdeploymentmental health. Overall, 11% of veterans reported killing during their deployment. Those who reportedkilling were more likely to be younger and male than …
Sequential Temporal Dependencies in Associations Between Symptoms of Depression and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: An Application of Bivariate Latent Difference Score Structural Equation Modeling
Depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are highly comorbid conditions that may arise following exposure to psychological trauma. This study examined their temporal sequencing and mutual influence using bivariate latent difference score structural equation modeling. Longitudinal data from 182 emergency room patients revealed level of depression symptom severity to be positively associated with changes in PTSD intrusion, avoidance, and…
Factor structure of posttraumatic stress disorder as measured by the Impact of Event Scale–Revised: Stability across cultures and time
This study examined the structure of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as measured by the Impact of Event Scale–Revised (IES-R; Weiss & Marmar, 1997), tested factorial invariance for samples of 235 Israeli emergency room patients and 306 U.S. undergraduate students, and then evaluated factorial invariance over multiple occasions within the emergency room sample. A four-factor structure representing intrusion, avoidance-numbing, hyperarousal, a…
Toward Gender-aware Health Care: Evaluation of an Intervention to Enhance Care for Female Patients in the VA Setting
In response to identified deficits in the provision of health care to female patients, we sought to improve healthcare workers' gender awareness- conceptualized as gender-role ideology, sensitivity, and knowledge related to female patients-through the application of a brief computerized educational intervention. This study, conducted in the Veterans Affairs (VA) health-care setting, involved a pretest-posttest equivalent control group design. We …
Exposure to Hurricane-Related Stressors and Mental Illness After Hurricane Katrina
CONTEXT: Uncertainty exists about the prevalence, severity, and correlates of mental disorders among people exposed to Hurricane Katrina. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence and associations between DSM-IV anxiety-mood disorders and hurricane-related stressors separately among prehurricane residents of the New Orleans metropolitan area and the remainder of the areas in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi affected by Katrina. DESIGN: Community s…
Predictors of Child Behavior Problems among Children of Female Vietnam Veterans
Focus Groups in Psychological Assessment: Enhancing Content Validity by Consulting Members of the Target Population.
A review of articles in Psychological Assessment reveals that many researchers develop instruments without the benefit of consultation with members of the target population. To the extent that researchers do consult the target population, most fail to bring consultation in early enough to inform the identification and specification of key constructs. Moreover, this consultation typically takes the form of one-to-one interviews. The authors' goal …
Associations of Gender and Gender-Role Ideology With Behavioral and Attitudinal Features of Intimate Partner Aggression
This study examined the association between gender-role ideology (scores on a nonegalitarian-egalitarian attitudinal dimension) and features of intimate partner aggression, with attention to how this relationship varied as a function of gender. Undergraduates from a large northeastern urban university (N = 250) completed measures of relationship quality, gender-role ideology, psychological abuse, psychological victimization, physical abuse, physi…

Sex-Role Egalitarianism as a Moderator Variable in Decision-Making: Two Validity Studies
Two validity studies tested the proposition that the extent to which a decision-maker holds a sex-role egalitarian attitude moderates the tendency to evaluate males and females differentially. In Study 1, 109 undergraduate students evaluated the qualifications of male or female applicants for stereotypically male or female jobs. In Study 2, another 109 undergraduate students expressed agreement! disagreement with decisions made by a committee; de…
Measurement Precision of the Sex-Role Egalitarianism Scale: A Generalizability Analysis
The Sex-Role Egalitarianism (SRE) Scale, recently developed to measure attitudes toward the equality of males and females, consists of two 95-item forms assessing attitudes across five domains of adult life. In this study, a three-facet (items, forms, and testing occasions) random effects generalizability analysis was used to evaluate the precision of each of the domain measures. Ninety-seven male and female psychology students, business students…
Bipolar Adjective Rating Scales for Self-Description: Reliability and Validity Data
Bipolar adjective rating scales were constructed to evaluate selected needs from Murray's (1938) theory of personality. Twenty items measuring each of six needs (succorance, autonomy, dominance, social recognition, achievement, and nurturance) were initially developed to provide a preliminary instrument that was administered to 200 individuals. Because of an unacceptably low estimate of internal consistency, the need for succorance was eliminated…
Sex-Role Egalitarianism: Biographical and Personality Correlates
To examine relationships between sex-role attitudes and biographical and personality characteristics, 147 college students were administered three instruments on separate occasions: (a) the Sex-role Egalitarianism Scale, (b) an inventory measuring six personality traits, and (c) a biographical information sheet. Data indicated women to be more egalitarian in their sex-role attitudes than men. Significant findings based on work history of mothers …
