Large-Scale Laboratory Test of Occupational Survey Software and Scaling Procedures

Abstract

This paper describes a research and development effort to automate and improve data collection associated with USAF occupational surveys. Specifically the effort involves: (a) research and development of a PC-based procedure for self-administration of occupational surveys as a replacement for the existing paper-and-pencil process, (b) research and development of automated scaling procedures of optimal validity and reliability for obtaining measures of time spent on job-related tasks, (c) incorporation of feedback and branching techniques into the automated survey technology that will permit administration of large and complex occupational surveys, and (d) development of implementation guidelines for use in base-level computer systems and AF-wide electronic data transmission networks.
