Studies about the experience of Student Service Members and Veterans (SSM/Vs) at U.S. institutions of higher education have consistently found that SSM/Vs believe that their military status results in stereotyping by peers. This is the first study to use quantitative methods to examine 1) the stereotypes SSM/Vs believe exist about them, and 2) the stereotypes actually displayed by non-SSM/V peers. A survey was administered to 177 students (87 SSM/Vs and 90 non-SSM/Vs) at a large, four-year university in the Midwest United States. Explicit questions and an experimental manipulation were used to address the research questions. Findings suggest that SSM/Vs believe more negative stereotypes exist than do non-SSM/Vs. Further, of 48 attributes used as options, the current methodology uncovered evidence of 6 specific stereotypes that non-SSM/Vs hold about SSM/Vs: disciplined, leader, masculine, mentally ill, stuck in the past, and tense. These results can guide future research about SSM/V transition to higher education, and address specific barriers to the well-being of this population.
关于美国高等教育机构中服役学生和退伍军人（SSM/Vs）经历的研究一直发现，SSM/Vs认为他们的军人身份会导致同龄人对他们产生刻板印象。这是第一项使用定量方法来研究以下两点的研究：1）SSM/Vs认为存在的关于他们的刻板印象；2）非SSM/V同龄人实际表现出的刻板印象。在美国中西部一所大型四年制大学对177名学生（87名SSM/Vs和90名非SSM/Vs）进行了一项调查。使用明确的问题和实验性操作来解决研究问题。研究结果表明，与非SSM/Vs相比，SSM/Vs认为存在更多负面刻板印象。此外，在作为选项的48个属性中，当前的方法发现了非SSM/Vs对SSM/Vs持有的6种特定刻板印象的证据：有纪律、领导者、男性化、患有精神疾病、固步自封和紧张。这些结果可以指导未来关于SSM/V向高等教育过渡的研究，并解决这一人群福祉的具体障碍。
