Correlates of Cadet Exposure to Research Questionnaires,

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to discover what patterns of attitudes are associated with cadet perception of the frequency and usefulness of questionnaire surveys of cadet opinion. The responses of 150 cadets to the 1971 First Class Questionnaire were scaled and intercorrelated. Significantly, cadets who believed that West Point had done 'extremely well' in developing their leadership skills tended to believe that 'changes at West Point' could be attributed in part to questionnaire surveys of cadet opinion. Other findings are complex but tend to demonstrate that the group profile of the 'typical' cadet attitude on any given topic is probably misleading. Further correlational studies of this type which aim at uncovering patterns of related attitudes would be more accurate. (Author)
