Abstract
The body of the report analyzing the unit race relations training program in the U.S. Army was written primarily for the non-technical reader. Detailed discussion regarding sampling procedures, data processing, and specific statistical analyses was not included in the body of the report. Information in these areas has been treated as separate technical documents and are presented here as appendices to the basic report. There are six appendices. Appendix A is a discussion of the particular methods used in selecting the companies for inclusion in the surveys and in identifying the particular individuals requested for the sample. The instrumentation used in the study is discussed in Appendix B. Included are detailed discussions about each of the interview forms and questionnaires. Particular attention is given to the RR/EO Program Survey, with detailed Information provided about the pretesting procedures and results of item analyses and factor analysis. Data processing procedures are described in Appendix C. This covers such areas as standards for exclusion of questionnaires and the effects of deleted respondents. In Appendix D is a detailed discussion of the relationship between various demographic variables and attitudes, perceptions, behavior and knowledge levels. In Appendix E is a discussion of the selection of units with higher and lower quality training programs. The effects of training on personnel in the units is considered using analysis of variance and covariance analysis.
