“…Group cohesion (i.e., the tendency for a group to stick together and remain united in the pursuit of its goals; Carron, 1982) in military units has been researched extensively. In a large-scale meta-analysis of military group cohesion research, Oliver, Harman, Hoover, Mayes, and Pandhi (1999) found positive relationships between cohesion and group performance, individual performance, job/military satisfaction, retention, well-being, and readiness; and a negative relationship between cohesion and disciplinary problems.…”

“…The latter were selected on the basis of their suspected importance to cohesion development (e.g., Bartone & Adler, 1999;Griffith, 1988;Kirkland, Bartone, & Marlowe, 1993;Oliver, et al, 1999) and their potential for modification through targeted Army intervention (e.g., training).…”

“…Several studies suggest that relations between military personnel and with their leaders can moderate the effect of combat stress on performance and stress responding (Belenky, 1987). In a meta-analysis of the effects of group cohesion in military units, OUver and colleagues (1999) found significant effect sizes between cohesion and several aspects of military effectiveness including group performance, individual performance, job/military satisfaction, retention, well-being, readiness, and discipline (Oliver, Harman, Hoover, Hayes, & Pandhi, 1999). The relationship between subordinates and their leaders also has been found to impact several aspects of performance and responses to stress.…”

SPONSORING/MONITORING AGENCY NAME(S) AND ADDRESS(ES)The study recruited 500 students who were enrolled in EOD training. These students were enlisted persoimel in the US military who volunteered to participate in the study at two points during the training program. Self-report assessments of potential risk factors were collected at the begiiming of the training program and at one intermediate time point that is associated with the highest level of student attrition. These risk factors included general cognitive ability, inattention and impulsivity, problem solving, anxiety, personality dimensions, social relations, and stressfiil events. In addition, the study explored the role of the demographic, social desirability, and external stressor control It is important to me to say thanks. Also, expressing my gratitude in writing is a way for me to never forget all the ways people have helped me and to remember to look for similar ways to help others. This study required a lot of statistical assistance. Dr. Wijo Kop bore the brunt of this load with multiple meetings and email correspondence. Also, Dr. Martha Faraday also helped with statistical guidance. VlllMy committee provided invaluable assistance. From beginning to end, their involvement has been constructive and facilitative. One example is the v^ay each committee member was willing to work with me to fit this longitudinal study in the five years allotted to military graduate students.
