An Examination of the Longitudinal Stability of Psychological Measures Contained within the U.S. Army's Global Assessment Tool

Abstract

As a component of the U.S. Army's Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness program (CSF2), the Global Assessment Tool (GAT) represents a multidimensional constellation of measures designed to assess characteristics related to resilience. Using a foundation of validated measures from prior research, the GAT has been the vehicle for self-assessment to provide Soldiers, their families, and Army Civilians snapshots of their psychosocial wellness. Despite the long history of the measurement instrument (first implemented in 2009) and widespread use (mandatory for all active-duty Soldiers annually), the longitudinal capabilities of the GAT has received little attention.
