Abstract
The present chapter draws on the long acquaintance of both authors with Portuguese navy behaviour settings as privileged observers of this specific culture (the marines in Portugal are a branch of the Navy). Pereira published his first studies, during the sixties, on the stress experienced by marines, based on his experience as a medical doctor and psychologist of marine units operating in the African battlefield of Guinea, and continued his follow-up observations up to the early eighties (Pereira, 1974; 1974a; 1981). Jesuino in his turn, conducted several organizational behaviour and leadership studies on naval settings during the last decade (Jesuino, 1984) and both authors combined to study the moderating effects of leadership styles on marine stress (Pereira & Jesuino, 1982).
Support for this work was provided under Contract No. DAJA-45–85-C-0036 from the US Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences through its European Science Coordination Office in London, England.
