PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE JOB REQUIREMENTS AND TRAINING: AN EVALUATION OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Abstract

The study reported developed from the need of the Office of the Chief of Psychological Warfare, Department of the Army, to evaluate the in-service training program for psychological warfare officers conducted at the Army Psychological Warfare School. The immediate task was to examine the relevance of the school's program of instruction to requirements for proficient performance in the field. The essential questions posed by the research task were: which areas of the present program of instruction are significantly related to the knowledge and skills required for the effective performance of psychological warfare duties, and which areas appear to bear little relationship to effective performance. Conversely, are there areas of job need for which no provision is made in the curriculum. The study endeavors to provide responsible authorities with information to assist them in evaluating the curriculum and making appropriate practicable modifications.
