POST-TRAINING PERFORMANCE CRITERION DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION. A MULTIDIMENSIONAL SCALING ANALYSIS OF THE CIRCUIT TYPES REPAIRED BY NAVAL AVIATION ELECTRONICS TECHNICIANS
Abstract
This is the third in a series of studies investigating the applicability of multidimensional scaling techniques in the job performance area. In this study, the circuits repaired by Naval aviation electronics technicians in the performance of their duties were used as the stimulus materials. Similarity judgments among the circuit pairs were made by supervisory personnel and analyzed by multidimensional scaling methods. It is concluded that it is feasible and fruitful to apply multidimensional scaling techniques to the classification of electronic circuits worked on in the performance of Naval jobs. The avionic circuits repaired by Naval aviation electronics technicians, as represented in the circuit list developed in the study, were perceived as involving sixteen underlying dimensions.
