UNASSIGNED: The literature on gender differences related to @entity458 among in-theater service members who are deployed in a combatant role is limited. Much focuses on retrospective reports of service members who have returned from deployment. Potential key factors that contribute to gender differences in @entity458 among combatants are found in literature across several topic areas, but integration of findings across disciplines is lacking. A growing body of literature on gender differences related to @entity458 of postdeployment military populations suggests males and females respond differently to perceived levels of social support pre-and postdeployment. One study on service members who were deployed suggested no significant gender differences related to reported @entity1109 , but did appear to find significant gender differences related to reported perception of unit morale. In another related area, research explores how ostracism impacts physical and @entity458 of individuals and organizations, and can result in perceptions of physical @entity158 , although research on gender differences related to the impact of ostracism is scarce. Research has also begun to focus on sex differences in @entity158 responses, and has identified multiple biopsychosocial, genetic, and hormonal factors that may contribute as potential underlying mechanisms. In this brief review, we focus on and begin to integrate relevant findings related to the @entity458 of females in combat roles, gender differences in the impact of perception of social support on @entity458 , the psychological and physical impact of ostracism on individuals and organizations, and the current literature on sex differences in @entity158 perception. We conclude with a synthesis and discussion of research gaps identified through this review, implications for clinical practice, and potential future research directions. In conclusion, there appear to be gender differences related to the presence or absence of social support, the impact of ostracism, and the perception of @entity158 . These differences may play a critical role in the @entity458 of female combatants. More research on this topic is needed.
