Attitudinal Intensity in Relation to Personality and Status in a Military Situation.

Abstract

In 1952, the National Opinion Research Center was commissioned by the George Washington University to carry out, under the general guidance and direction of the Human Resources Research Office, a re-study of certain attitude data collected originally from soldiers during World War II by the Research Branch of the Information and Education Division of the War Department. The purpose of the study was: (1) To investigate basic relationships between attitudinal intensity and personality characteristics of soldiers; and to investigate certain methodological problems of attitude measurement posed, in part, by the development and application of Guttman's scaling methods.
