AFOSI (Air Force Office Special Investigations), Friend or Foe? Some Psychological Causes and Recommendations

Abstract

This project examines how the Air Force Office of Special Investigation's (AFOSI) image, based on aspects of its mission, could affect its performance at the AF base level due to basic psychological factors involved in individual and group behavior. The project focuses on AFOSI's relationship with the base commander and his staff. It looks at how aspects of the AFOSI mission-- like wearing civilian clothes--impact on these relationships. It provides the psychological reasons for the impact and possible methods to address these factors.
