This study aimed to examine if levels of thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and acquired capability significantly differed between guardsmen and active duty soldiers.
Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to test for differences between active duty Army (n = 1,393) and Army National Guard (n = 623) groups, before and after controlling for the effects of age, gender, race, marital status, level of education, and deployment history.
Guardsmen reported significantly higher mean levels of thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness than did active duty soldiers, even after adjusting for demographic differences. Guardsmen also reported slightly lower levels of acquired capability, though this effect was accounted for by demographic differences.
These findings support the notion that National Guard and active duty soldiers differ on perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness. Additional research investigating sources of perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness among guardsmen is needed.
本研究旨在检验国民警卫队队员与现役军人在受阻归属感、感知到的自身负担感和习得能力水平上是否存在显著差异。
采用多变量协方差分析来检验现役陆军（n = 1393）和陆军国民警卫队（n = 623）两组在控制年龄、性别、种族、婚姻状况、教育水平和部署历史影响之前和之后的差异。
即使在调整了人口统计学差异之后，国民警卫队队员报告的受阻归属感和感知到的自身负担感平均水平仍显著高于现役军人。国民警卫队队员报告的习得能力水平也略低，不过这种影响可由人口统计学差异来解释。
这些发现支持了国民警卫队队员和现役军人在感知到的自身负担感和受阻归属感方面存在差异这一观点。需要进一步开展研究，调查国民警卫队队员中感知到的自身负担感和受阻归属感的来源。
