A Cross Sectional Analysis and Generalizability Implications of a Military Attrition Model.
Abstract
The generalizability of results of an earlier study of recruit training attrition are examined across three additional groups of recruits. A significantly different prediction equation for attrition was observed for one group containing lower quality recruits. Results support the general conclusions of the earlier study although many of the variables were not consistently significant across all four samples. Intention to complete enlistment, expectancy of completing enlistment, and internal motivation consistently differentiated graduates form attrites.
