定义了战区压力源体验的四种概念：传统战斗、暴行-虐待暴力、感知威胁和恶意环境。回顾了国家越南退伍军人再适应研究（NVVRS）的内容，并创建了压力源指数。使用来自NVVRS的回顾性自我报告数据，分别计算所有退伍军人以及男性和女性的压力源评分之间以及这些评分与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）测量之间的相互关系。接下来是结构方程建模程序。结果表明，四个应激源指标具有内在一致性，且具有一定的差异性，对PTSD的影响存在差异。男性在所有4项指标上的得分都明显高于女性。尽管变量之间的关系模式在性别之间具有可比性，但有证据表明，模型中的一个路径系数在男性和女性之间是不同的。
Four conceptualizations of war zone stressor experiences were defined: traditional combat, atrocities-abusive violence, perceived threat, and malevolent environment. Items from the National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study (NVVRS) were reviewed for content, and stressor indexes were created. Using retrospective self-report data from the NVVRS, intercorrelations among stressor scores and between these scores and measures of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were computed for all veterans and for men and women separately. Structural equation modeling procedures followed. Results indicated that the four stressor indexes were internally consistent, reasonably distinct from one another, and influenced PTSD differentially. Men scored significantly higher than women on all 4 indexes. Whereas the pattern of relationships among the variables was comparable across genders, there was evidence that one path coefficient in the model differed for men and women.
