The Navy Values Community: Three Year Trends

Abstract

The Navy Core Values Survey (NCVS) was designed to assess knowledge of the Navy Core Values by members of the Navy community, and to measure attitudes and opinions related to those values. This paper reports on the results of the third administration of the NCVS, which was mailed out in November 1995. The sample of women and men (N = 3131) was drawn from ship and shore, across the spectra of paygrades and occupational fields. Data were analyzed using the SPSS-X statistical package. Based on the resulting response patterns, items are categorized into zones of strong consensus, substantial disagreement, and gray areas. In addition to results of the current survey, the paper highlights three-year trends in response patterns to NCVS items. The significance of the latest survey results and of the trends in response patterns is discussed relative to progress in building a coherent Navy values community. Conclusions are drawn, and suggestions are made for further research.
