Brief summary: The study is designed to compare the efficacy of a simple, non-spiritual, self-management strategy that can strengthen personal and occupational resources-resources that can positively impact adverse reactions to military-specific demands and promote personal and work outcomes. Our app-based intervention, designed to strengthen a balanced self-identity through affirmation of growth and balance values, will be adapted to military occupational contexts, utilizing an existing self-management strategy (QE) to a military occupational context to maximize it effectiveness in strengthening participants' balanced sense of self, which we expect to have positive benefit on personal and work outcomes in military service members.
