Identifying the Core Content of Military Identity for Psychological Understanding

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to describe core cognitive content of military identity operationally, utilizing a self-schema model, test the theoretical model by examining the effect of military identity on information processing response times (RT), and explore the relationship between military identity and self-perceived psychological well-being (PWB). Core cognitive content of military identity included 13 categories into four broad categories: Leadership, Values, Mindset, and X-factor. Results of the PWB scores revealed an association between higher levels of military identity and greater PWB scores.
