Development and Feasibility Test of a Method to Study Location Assignment Preferences of Airmen.

Abstract

The study evaluated the feasibility of an approach to investigate geographic location preferences of airmen. Two preference ratings were obtained from 509 basic airmen for each of 150 Air Force locations, one based on the location name, then unnamed, based on a 22 variable environmental profile description. Findings indicated the approach was feasible; that considerable variance was revealed across both individuals and locations; that the base selected variables could explain a considerable proportion of the rating variance through regression analysis. Further study of location preferences of experienced personnel is recommended. (Author)
