Dissertation
Gender Discrimination and Women Service Members and Veterans: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
2017
Overview
Over the last decade, the U.S. Armed Forces has been engaged in two major conflicts within the Middle East: Iraq and Afghanistan. Since that time, the saturation of women embedded within units in which males are the majority, has gradually increased to over 15% of the U.S. Armed Forces (Blank, 2008). Because the ratio of men-to-women is higher, the likelihood increases that women may experience some form of gender discrimination (i.e., lower rank, refusal of command slots, non-combat units) throughout their military career (Donovan & Drasgow, 1999). The aim of this qualitative research is to gain a deeper understanding of gender discrimination as experienced by women service members and veterans and how they coped and understood their experiences. The conversations with military women were conducted through semi-structured interviews and analyzed via an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). I hope the findings of the proposed qualitative research study contribute to enhancing the working knowledge of mental health professionals alike, through a multicultural awareness of the lived-experience of military women.
