A STUDY OF CHANGE FROM DRAFT TO ALL VOLUNTEER MILITARY: ANALYZING PATRIOTISM, SENSATION SEEKING, VALUE OF MONEY, USE OF FORCE AND INTENTION TO JOIN THE MILITARY A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Applied Psychology by Selcuk Sami August 2015 Accepted by: Dr. James A. McCubbin, Committee Chair Dr. Thomas W. Britt Dr. Patrick J. Rosopa ABSTRACT The current study has explored some incentives for young people to enlist in the military in the context of a national transformation into all-volunteer force from draft system. Specifically, in this study, I examined how strongly patriotism, sensation seeking, value of money for people, use of force in military interventions and intentions to join the military affect young people’s behavior to enlist in the military.
