国民警卫队/预备役服务成员（n = 143）部署到持久/伊拉克自由行动完成的愤怒/侵略，应对措施，和创伤后应激障碍。回归和路径分析显示，PTSD和回避应对都有助于升高愤怒。此外，PTSD通过愤怒对言语和身体攻击产生间接影响，直接影响仅对身体攻击产生影响。年轻与愤怒无关，但与更大的言语和身体攻击直接相关。这些结果有助于更全面地了解最近冲突的退伍军人的侵略风险;然而，普遍性受到样本特征的限制（所有国民警卫队/预备役，主要是白色，已婚，宗教）。
National Guard/Reserve service members (n = 143) deployed to Operations Enduring/Iraqi Freedom completed measures of anger/aggression, coping, and PTSD. Regressions and path analyses revealed that PTSD and avoidant coping both contributed to elevated anger. Furthermore, PTSD exerted indirect effects on verbal and physical aggression via anger, with direct effects only on physical aggression. Younger age was unrelated to anger but directly related to greater verbal and physical aggression. These results contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of risk for aggression in veterans of recent conflicts; however, the generalizability is limited by sample characteristics (all National Guard/Reserve, mostly White, married, religious).
