ARI (Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences) Survey of U.S. Army Recruits 1986: Tabular Descriptions of NPS (Non-Prior-Service) Army Reserve Accessions. Volume 1

摘要

This is one of eight reports produced to document the 1986 Army Research Institute Survey of U.S. Army Recruits, also known as the New Recruit Survey (NRS). This is volume 1 of a two-volume set of crosstables describing the attitudes, demographics, and service-related characteristics of non-prior-service Army Reserve recruits during the summer of 1986. Tabulation volumes contain an introduction to the 1986 NRS reports series and project overview; an explanation of how to read and interpret tabulations; a set of two-way tables of NRS items crossed with five banner variables; and in a technical appendix the survey instrument used in the summer of 1986. Separate tabulation volumes were produced for each of the three Army components: the regular active Army (RA); the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR); and the Army National Guard (ARNG). Tabulations reflect data gathered during the summer administration of the survey. The crossings variables used in each tabulation volume include demographic and service-related characteristics that vary across components. Other reports in this series provide more extensive documentation of the background and approach to the 1986 NRS administration. Other reports are also available for the 1982, 1983, 1984 (summer and winter), and 1985 survey administrations.
