PERSONAL HISTORY CORRELATED OF PERFORMANCE AMONG MILITARY PERSONNEL IN SMALL ANTARCTIC STATIONS

摘要

In the present study personal history data have been analyzed in relation to performance criterion measures obtained on military personnel who had wintered-over at scientific stations in the Antarctic. During each of the past three years, from fifteen, to thirty-five men, including both civilian scientific and military support personnel, have worked and lived together for twelve continuous months t each of" three small-stations. The present analysis pertains only to the military complement at each station whose primary responsibility was that of providing logistic support for the scientific operations. Since the job requirements, background, and screening situations are considered to be, somewhat different for the military and civilian groups-, it was considered best to analyze the two groups separately.
