Individual Adaptive Performance in War Environment

Dejan M. Vučinić, Jelena Z. Tovarović

Individual adaptive performance as a psychological phenomenon has been drawing attention for over two decades. Despite numerous researches, there is no generally accepted operationalisation of this concept. During the last quarter of a century, the security environment of many countries has become more complex and unpredictable, which has guided some armed forces to study and implement adaptive skills for the execution of a wide range of military operations. The examination of individual adaptive performance in war environment has been conducted for the purpose of a clearer defining of its structure. The research is of qualitative character and well grounded in theory. For the requirements of the model of individual adaptive performance, we have carried out the interviews with twenty participants in the 1990s war activities in the territory of former Yugoslavia. Based on the acquired data, we have established the structure of individual adaptive behaviour: anticipative, transformational, combat-situational and relaxation behaviour. Some further investigation is required for a quantitative confirmation of the proposed model of adaptive performance in war environment.
