Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Area of Science:

  • Military Medicine
  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Combat deployment negatively affects risk-taking behaviors in regular UK military personnel.
  • Limited research exists on deployment's impact on reservist risk-taking behaviors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how deployment influences risk-taking behaviors in military reservists.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study design.
  • Self-reported questionnaires assessed hazardous drinking, risky driving, physical violence, smoking, and accident and emergency (A&E) attendance due to risk-taking.
  • 1710 participants with a 51% response rate.

Main Results:

  • Prevalence rates: hazardous drinking (46%), smoking (18%), risky driving (11%), A&E attendance (13%), physical violence (3%).
  • Deployment significantly correlated with increased risky driving (OR 1.88), smoking (OR 2.02), and physical violence (OR 3.63).

Conclusions:

  • Deployment is a significant factor influencing reservist risk-taking behaviors.
  • Findings highlight the need to address deployment-related risks in reservists.
  • Increased deployment prospects necessitate consideration of these behavioral impacts.
