Psychometric Properties of the Military Equal Opportunity Climate Survey

Abstract

Two studies analyzing the psychometric properties of the Military Equal Opportunity Climate Scale (MEOCS) were performed. Study 1, scores on the five factor scales of the MEOCS were regressed against scores on Personal Perception of EO Climate and Others Perceptions of EO climate. Differential Command scores loaded most heavily on both perception scores., accounting for about 20% of the variance in each case. Reverse Discrimination score did not add significantly to the regression equation. In Study 2, scores on all 88 MEOCS items were correlated with total score to identify those items with the greatest predictive utility. Of the 29 most predictive items, 21 were from the Sexual Harassment subscale.
