Validation of the Military Recruiter Stress Scale (MRSS).

PB2007107634

Publication Date	1997
Personal Author	Bulach, B. A.
Page Count	71
Abstract	The purposes of this three-phase study were to identify common stressors experienced by military recruiters, to develop and test an instrument entitled the Military Recruiter Stress Scale (MRSS), and to assess its reliability and validity. The Neuman Systems Model was the theoretical framework for the study. In Phase I of investigation, a list of 14 theoretically derived stressors was identified and assessed for content validity by an expert panel. In Phase II of the study, seven inexperienced recruiters were surveyed and found all of the stressors in the MRSS to be relevant to their experiences, whereas experienced recruiters did not find them all personally relevant. Both inexperienced and experienced recruiters found all of the stressors to be generally relevant to military recruiting. In Phase III of the study, the MRSS was assessed for reliability and validity in a sample of 73 military recruiters.
