Elhai, J. D., Contractor, A. A., Tamburrino, M., Fine, T. H., Cohen, G., Shirley, E., ... & Galea, S. (2015). Structural relations between DSM-5 PTSD and significant depressive symptoms in military soldiers. Journal of Affective Disorders, 175, 373-378.Retrieved from: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/da.22871

The author's main idea is on the residual symptoms of prolonged exposure of post-trauma stress disorder in female veterans plus solders. The research method used is interviews and sampling of the female veterans and soldiers who got interviewed. The research results were that the research's residual symptoms were the veterans where avoiding associating with other people, they have sleeping difficulties, and they are easily irritated to anger. Sleep difficulties are easy to treat, and there should be additional strategies for treating post-trauma stress disorder. The limitations of the research were the number of samples that got used was small.

Aggression in US soldiers post-deployment: Associations with combat exposure and PTSD and the moderating role of trait anger. Aggressive behavior, 41(6), 556-565.Retrieved from: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ab.21595

The article's objective is to see the impact of post-trauma stress disorder on anger and aggression among the soldiers. The method used was the sampling methods .the results of the research shows that there are high incidences of the traits of anger and aggression among the people who have post-trauma stress disorder. The characteristics can, therefore, help determine the extent and presence of post-trauma stress disorders in persons. Limitations are that trait anger measured from a trait anger scale of STAXI and the trait anger itself impact the reliability and validity of results.

Association of predeployment heart rate variability with the risk of post-deployment post-traumatic stress disorder in active-duty marines. JAMA Psychiatry, 72(10), 979-986.Retrieved from: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abstract/2436276

The method that got used is by assessing the soldiers at the point of deployment. After six months of deployments’ findings of the research, there was a low heart rate variability in predeployment. There was a high heart rate variability in post-deployment of the solders. Limitations where that ages of persons were generalized.
