Description of the Book:

Personality differences may affect performance in basic training directly or by acting in combination with specific stresses. In either case, personality must be considered to isolate and describe stress effects. A person’s beliefs about his ability to control what happens to him (i.e., perceived control) and his style of adjusting to stress (i.e., defense preferences) have been shown to predict attrition from Marine Corps basic training. The effects of these two aspects of personality may not be independent. The present paper explored the hypothesis that perceived personal control is related to effective adaptation to stress while perceived control by external factors is related to ineffective adaptation. The information is to be used to guide subsequent research designs and analysis procedures in studies attempting to isolate the effects of stress in basic training
