Effects of Workplace Discrimination and Microaggressions on Minority Veterans’ Overall Job Satisfaction with Their Military Career: A Qualitative Study
No full textMicroaggressions are a form of workplace discrimination that include brief verbal, behavioral, and environmental indignities that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative slights and insults to a marginalized target person or group. This qualitative study examined the previously unexplored area of microaggressions directed toward veterans during their time in service, and the impact on their overall job satisfaction with their military career. Through the use of semi-structured individual interviews, 7 self-identifying minority veterans shared their experiences of racist, sexist, and/or heterosexist microaggressions. Data were collected and analyzed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis, a rigorous method of qualitative inquiry that involves the detailed examination of individual lived experience and how individuals make sense of that experience. Results identified 7 major themes experienced by participants: (1) “Culture of fuck that person over before they fuck you” (Microassaults), (2) “You can’t handle this” (Microinsults), (3) “That’s just the way it is—deal with it” (Microinvalidations), (4) “The Emotionally Homeless” (Impact of Microaggressions on the Individual), (5) “The Path of Least Resistance” (Ways of Coping), (6) “Who do I report to?” (Impact of Microaggressions on the Organization), and (7) “A Love-Hate Relationship” (Job Satisfaction with Military Career). Results supported broad domains of microaggressions previously identified in the literature. Findings also supported the Exit-Voice-Loyalty-Neglect framework, a theoretical model developed to illustrate the consequences of job dissatisfaction, in that participants reported engaging in a combination of these behaviors in response to microaggressions
An Exploration of the Coming Home Process for Military Couples
No full textThis study aimed to understand the lived experience of the military couple during post-deployment through a qualitative lens. Participants were either service members of any branch of the United States military or a partner of a service member. The service member and partner must have experienced a deployment while cohabitating at some point in time following September 11, 2001. All participants completed an online qualitative survey. The qualitative approach used to analyze the data was interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). The data were analyzed for themes which were identified as fitting within 4 domains: strengths, challenges, family beliefs/practices, and social support. The themes identified within these domains is as follows: 1) Strengths: Adaptability, flexibility, patience, support; 2) Challenges: Family roles and personal growth; 3) Family beliefs/practices: Rhythms, equality, time; and 4) Social support: Church, peers, family. One theme, communication, did not fit within a single domain but rather spanned across several. The information gathered in this study helped to reveal what kinds of strengths service members and their partners possessed and how these strengths aided them in navigating post deployment. The data gathered in this study can be useful to various groups, including civilians who work with military families, military command structures, and policy makers who influence deployment tempos and military family relocation
Examining the Relationship Between Statistics Anxiety and Attentional Bias
No full textThe purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between attentional bias towards threat in statistics anxiety. This was a replication of a study conducted by Chew, Swinbourne, and Dillon (2014). The 11 participants were 9 female and 2 male students from a graduate school located in the Pacific Northwest, who were either currently enrolled in, or finished their required statistics courses. Outcome measure evaluations were determined through results from individual emotional Stroop task, dot probe task, and Statistical Anxiety Rating Scale. There was a significant relationship found under the emotional Stroop task for the Fear of Asking for Help measure, which suggests that the High Anxiety group had a quicker reaction time as compared to the Low Anxiety group. The rest of the results yielded no significant differences between low and high statistics anxiety groups, indicating no relationship between attentional bias towards threat in statistics anxiety. Future directions for this study may include replication with a larger sample size, determination of state versus trait anxiety, and attentional bias training to minimize statistics anxiety
