Abstract | Examines factors predisposing to enlistment in the all-volunteer armed forces, using data from a 1971 sample of over 2,000 Houston (Texas) seventh graders, with followups in 1980 and 1988. Finds that volunteers are more likely to have experienced limited peer acceptance and some disruption of socioemotional ties and that they are amenable to discipline. (DM) |
