Validation of the Delinquent Behavior Inventory as a Predictor of Basic Training Attrition.

摘要

The Delinquent Behavior Inventory (DBI) was designed to identify Navy applicants likely to display delinquent behavior, including illicit drug use while in the Navy. The DBI was administered to 2,500 Navy recruits during their first week of basic training in San Diego, California. Of the 2,500 recruits, 101 were discharged for detrimental causes. Analysis shows a low positive correlation between the DBI items and basic training graduation/attrition.
