The Study of Personal Values of Selected Senior U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force Officers

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the difference in values between senior military officers and civilians and between senior military officers of the Army and Air Force. The study used the ideas of Huntington and Janowitz as the basic guidelines for the analysis of the results. The study used the Rokeach Value Survey as the instrument in measuring the values of the different populations. The populations of interest were civilians, Army officers attending the Army War College, and Air Force officers attending the Air War College. An Air Force field grade officer sample had to be substituted for one of the Air War College populations. The study found civilian values differed from the military. Keywords: Military personnel, Officer personnel, Value, Ethics Army personnel, Air Force personnel, Theses.
