A Comparison of High- and Low-Impact Reports of Investigation on Adjudicators' Decision Making: A Pilot Study
Abstract
This report examines the effect of style written communication on personnel security determinations. Forty senior adjudicators from four sites reviewed two cases containing significant derogatory information. The results indicate that format of the ROI did not affect the overall adjudication determination, but site-specific processes in reaching the decision were evident. A discussion is presented of outside-the-document factors that may affect reader's processing of written communications.
