SHELTER HABITABILITY STUDIES TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A TELEVISED INFORMATION PROGRAM. VOLUME I.

Abstract

Three 24-hour habitability experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of prior information on subject performance. In matched populations, three information conditions were generated for comparison: a naive (control) group; author to which a half-hour televised orientation was presented; and a third which contained a verteran of a previous habitability exercise, and which also received the televised orientation. Dependent variables included: performance measures, including shelter setup tasks, sanitary practices, projected ration consumption, exposure to simulated radiation, and posttest measures of expectations toward and preparation for shelter occupancy.
