A paucity of research exists examining the role of spirituality/religion (S/R) as a protective factor for combat-deployed military personnel. The purpose of this study is to (a) define the underlying structure of items from an authordeveloped instrument measuring coping, beliefs, and support; and (b) examine how S/R affiliation, activities, and practices affect coping responses for 279 combat-deployed military personnel. Significant predictors of coping included support, age, Christian affiliation, and frequency of S/R practices. The authors found that beliefs, S/R practices prior to deployment, previous combat deployments, and first deployment were not significant predictors of coping. Implications for counselors and future research are addressed.

A paucity of research exists on the topic of classroom incivility, defined as actions that disrupt the classroom learning environment, initiated by counseling graduate students and faculty. Through a quantitative descriptive survey design examining current perceptions of incivility in the graduate counseling classroom for both graduate students (N = 173) and faculty (N = 72), the authors found that (a) graduate students and faculty were consistent in their perceptions of the types, frequency, and severity of incivility behaviors; (b) students view faculty actions taken to reduce incivility as less effective compared to faculty perceptions; and (c) graduate faculty contribute to graduate classroom incivility. Practice implications and issues for future research are discussed.
