Profile

Dr. Thomas Britt is a Professor of Psychology at Clemson University and Editor-in-Chief of the journal Military Psychology. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Florida in 1994 before entering active duty as a research psychologist in the U.S. Army. He was stationed at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR)-Heidelberg, Germany Unit from 1994 to 1997, and then at the WRAIR in Forest Glenn, Maryland, from 1997 to 1999. He left active duty in 1999 (he received an honorable discharge as a Major) and spent a year at King College before moving to Clemson University in 2000, where he was promoted to Full Professor in 2007. He re-entered the U.S. Army Reserves in 2013 and is currently assigned to the U.S. Army War College as a faculty instructor. He has published over 100 empirical articles and multiple book chapters, and has been an editor for two books and a 4-volume series in the area of Military Psychology. He is also the author of two published books in the fields of organizational psychology and thriving under stress. His articles have been published in leading journals such as the Psychological Review, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Journal of Organizational Behavior, Journal of Personality, Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, and Harvard Business Review. His current research programs investigate how stigma and other barriers to care influence employees in high stress occupations seeking needed mental health treatment, and the identification of factors that promote resilience among employees in high stress occupations. His research has been funded by multiple grants and contracts from the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community. He is also the Editor-in-Chief of Military Psychology.

Research Interests

Determinants of Employee Resilience and Thriving:

Employees in high risk occupations (e.g. military personnel, police officers, firefighters, first responders, intelligence analysts) encounter traumatic events that have the potential to severely affect their health and performance. Our research addresses factors that enhance the resilience of personnel in high stress environments, as well as factors that contribute to employees thriving at work. These factors include high quality leadership, performing meaningful work, morale, and a sense of optimism and hope that a mission is succeeding. Our ultimate goal is to design organizational interventions that will enhance the resilience of personnel by equipping them to better cope with different types of work demands and by encouraging a consideration of the significance and meaning of their work.

In recent years I have extended my research on resilience to healthcare professionals battling the Covid-19 pandemic, focusing on emergency medicine personnel on the frontlines. We have examined predictors of mental health strain during the pandemic and have used objective measures of actigraphy to assess fatigue among emergency physicians. I am also part of a team working on interventions to reduce fatigue and burnout among emergency medicine personnel.

Mental Health Treatment Seeking Among Employees in High Stress Occupations:

Employees in high stress occupations (e.g. military personnel, police officers, firefighters, war reporters) develop mental health problems as a result of their work, but often fail to get treatment for these problems. Our research examines the determinants of treatment seeking among employees in high stress occupations, including perceived stigma from leaders and co-workers, personal stigma associated with a failure to demonstrate expected resilience, beliefs about mental health treatment and medication, and the unit climate associated with treatment seeking. The problem of stigma is especially salient for combat Soldiers who are trained to "suck it up" and take care of problems themselves without resorting to professional help. We conducted a longitudinal study examining nine different determinants of treatment seeking, and found the strongest predictor of future treatment seeking was whether Soldiers scored lower on a measure of self-reliance, indicating those personnel who preferred to handle problems themselves were less likely to get treatment. Our undergraduate research team has also conducted studies on the stigma of seeking treatment for psychological problems among college students, and we have replicated some of the key findings that we obtained with soldiers. In 2010 we were awarded a 4-year, 1.3 million dollar grant from the Department of Defense to study the multiple reasons soldiers do not seek mental health treatment following combat, and to design unit training for improving the climate associated with Soldiers getting mental health treatment. We developed and tested the effectiveness of the unit training. Soldiers receiving the training reported engaging in more supportive behaviors towards unit members experiencing mental health problems three months later. The effectiveness of the training was independently validated by a different team of researchers.
