A pandemic takes a toll on emotional health and tests psychological resilience. In particular, interpersonal interactions in military communities have been challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic. The military must focus resilience training away from the individual and towards the community. This study investigated the practical assistance rendered to soldiers in aid of their mental health. Specifically, this study analysed the development and implementation of a teaching action plan aimed at improving the psychological resilience of soldiers. The plan was based on the community counselling model, and it serves as a reference for social workers, especially in their conduct of educational programmes.

Previous studies have argued that women are less corrupt because they are marginalized or because they are risk averse. However, because of the insidious and hidden nature of corruption, the subjects of theoretical reasoning in previous studies were individuals who were not involved in corruption. This produces a lack of observations and analyses of individuals who are actually corrupt. For this reason, the present study used text mining of Taiwanese district court judgments to examine why women are less corrupt. The results reveal that, following the rise of gender equality in Taiwanese society, women are now less marginalized and are as likely as to be as corrupt as men. Furthermore, the level of corruption (reflected by the prosecution and conviction rates) among women who are less marginalized (elected civil servants) is higher than among those who are more marginalized (typical civil servants). These findings suggest that women are less corrupt because they are marginalized rather than because they are risk averse.
