An Analysis of Experimental Exit Interviews

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to provide cues for additional items to be used in revising the Personal History Form, OA-1. An additional purpose was to identify those items in the existing Personal History Form and Self- Description Blank, SD-lb which appeared to discriminate between unacceptable personnel and personnel of a normal Army input population. Tape-recorded interviews were conducted with enlisted men who received other-than-honorable discharges. Only men who expressed a willingness to participate were interviewed. This procedure was followed in order to secure cooperation from the men and in the hope that they would be more willing to give background information. A content analysis of these experimental exit interviews was made to tap attitudes and background factors relevant to military delinquency.
