Special Forces Interpersonal Performance Assessment System

摘要

The role of the U.S. Army in the Global War on Terror includes not just war activities but peacekeeping and nation building as well. Soldiers confront complex cultural and political situations that are delicate and unstable. Success in these missions often requires interpersonal skills, enabling soldiers to accurately perceive multiple perspectives and interact successfully within other cultures. Despite the fact that these skill areas are of great importance, few resources exist to provide Soldiers with information regarding their strengths and weaknesses in these areas, or to provide developmental training activities that could improve these skills. This report describes the development of a model that can serve as a foundation to develop these skills. An evaluation of the model and the application of the model to develop a training program are discussed.
