Global Assessment Tool (GAT) Trend Analysis

Abstract

Since 2011, the Training and Doctrine Command Analysis Center (TRAC) has supported the Army Analytics Group with research and analysis of an annually required psychometric instrument to test the resilience levels of service-members.. This year, at the request of Army Resiliency Directorate (ARD), TRAC research concentrated on the validity and the reliability of the GAT an area not addressed by previous research. The research team used multiple approaches to examine the validity of the GAT, including work on personnel trends and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The results of this effort indicate that the GAT is a reliable instrument and we have proven validity to the extent that it is possible with the current information. Continued research is needed to confirm the validity of the GAT, using other instruments that could correlate with GAT resilience factors.
