ROTC Cadets: Attitudes toward Women in the Army

Abstract

In 1974, the Army Research Institute (ARI) developed an 18-item questionnaire dealing with attitudes toward women in the Army. The work was based on an Army-wide sample of male and female officer and enlisted personnel. From the 18-item questionnaire, a 7-item short form was refined. Results indicated that women, both officers and enlisted, were more contemporary and less traditional than their respective male counterparts in their attitudes toward women in the Army. Scores of men and women on the 7-item scale significantly differed, while on the other hand, mean scores between officer and enlisted personnel did not significantly differ. In 1975, as part of a larger research effort, this 7-item questionnaire was administered to male and female ROTC cadets attending Advanced Summper Camp. The present paper presents some preliminary results of this questionnaire administered at Ft. Riley, KS, one of three ROTC Advanced Camps.
