Abstract
Psychological health is vital for effective employees, especially in stressful occupations like military
and public safety sectors. Yet, until recently little empirical work has made the link between requisite psychological
resources and important mental health outcomes across time in those sectors. In this study we explore the association
between 14 baseline psychological health attributes (such as adaptability, coping ability, optimism) and mental health
outcomes following exposure to combat deployment.
