Among these questionnaires, 962 scales were effective, the effective ratio was 96.2 percent.Statistic analysis were played by using SPSS11.5 and data were analyzed by Descriptive statistic, T-test, Levene's test for Equality of Variances, One-way ANOVA, Rank transform analysis, Factor analysis, Reliability analysis, Regression analysis, Chi-square test. Structure equation model was analyzed by using AMOS4.0 produced by the company SmallWater.Results:1. The total mean score of SCL-90 and scores of all subscales in naval personnel serving at special worksites in south China were more than Chinese norm (P<0.01). The total mean score of SCL-90 and scores of all subscales in naval personnel serving at special worksites in south China were more than Chinese armyman norm (PO.01).2. The compared results of the total mean score of SCL-90 and scores of all subscales showed between naval personnel serving at special worksites in-4-south China and Chinese norm: lhere were no significant differences between all scores of soldiers at mountain look-on site and Chinese norm; (2) The scores of Somatization of soldiers at naval surface ship were lower than Chinese armyman norm (P01), the scores of Obsessive-Compulsive were more than Chinese armyman norm (PO.01); Except for the scores of Somatization, all other scores of submariners were more than Chinese armyman norm (P<0.05) ; Except for the scores of Somatization and Depression, all other scores of soldiers at islands were more than Chinese armyman norm (P.05) ; 〢ll scores of naval aviation were more than Chinese armymen norm (P<0.01).
