[Development, basic characteristics and empirical norms of the DSQ-40 psychological test].
Psychological defence mechanisms represent relatively stable aspect of personality, while character and frequency of defence mechanisms which a person uses, points to the character structure of personality. Measuring psychological defence mechanisms is very difficult and very unreliable, so that only several instruments have been developed for the estimation of such characteristics. The most notable instrument of this kind in the world is DSQ-40 (Defense Style Questionnaire), which has lately been more often used in our country. As DSQ-40 is still not widely known in our environment, the aim of this study was to represent the onset and the development of this test, its basic characteristics and empirical norms acquired on our population. Examination included two examined groups in military population of male sex only: soldiers of adolescent age (n = 400) and officers of the adult age (n = 165). Statistical analysis and the comparison of the results with corresponding standards obtained in foreign researches showed that defence style and structure of psychological defence mechanisms were connected with socio-demographic and cultural characteristics of examinees. It was concluded that norms of the test DSQ-40 must be adjusted to the concrete population, which hasn't diminished its practical values and employment in diagnostic and selection purposes.

[The soldier's quality of life during the years of military service].
Quality of life of soldiers is the ability to participate in professional activities during the military service in accordance with intrapsychic state. The aim of this study was to establish the categories of quality of life, which are important for soldiers' adjustment during the military service. The investigation was performed on the subjects of the two squads of soldiers of Yugoslav Armed Forces, divided into three groups according to the period of investigations: after the first month, after the basic training, and at the end of military service. The applied instruments of the investigation were sociodemographic questionnaire and Quality of Life Scale (QLS). Statistical analysis of the obtained data was made by t-test. Investigation results showed that quality of life of soldiers during the military service depended on intrapsychic state, interpersonal relations, and soldiers' adjustment to common objects and activities, and did not depend on their occupational role.
