Labelinteresting\exciting work more likely to be found in current members of armed forces or general population :Q555
Question text I am going to read out a number of attitudes and behaviours which might be more likely to be found in some sections of the population than others. Using this card, please tell me whether you think each is more likely to occur among members of the UK Armed Forces, more likely to occur among civilians, or equally likely to occur in both populations. By civilians, we mean the adult population of the UK in general. When answering this question, please think about current members of the UK Armed Forces who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Have interesting/exciting work?
