Civilian Spouses of Soldiers: Comparison of the Results for Male and Female Spouses
Abstract
The 1995 Survey of Army Families III was conducted to examine the impacts of various Army programs on Army families, to identify new and emerging family issues, to assess progress in resolving Army Family Action Plan issues, and to track trends in the characteristics of Army families. A special analysis, summarized in this report, was designed to examine and compare these issues as they relate to civilian male and female spouses of Army soldiers. This report is based on 12,561 surveys, of which 1,757 were from male spouses and 10,804 were from female spouses. Although there were some differences between them (discussed in this report), civilian male and female spouses generally held similar attitudes and opinions in the 12 topical areas contained in the survey: Housing and Neighborhood, Family Relocation, Family Separations, Army Chaplains, Army and You, Your Background, Paid and Volunteer Work, Soldier Spouse's Background, MWR Programs and Installation Services, Children, and Army Way of Life. These findings will be useful for Army agencies and commands for developing plans, assessing policies, and evaluating program operations and outcomes.
