The Relationship between Substance Use, Demography and Racial/Ethnic Attitudes Related to Performance and Social Attraction,

Abstract

Data was collected on 275 soldiers assigned to 75 tank crews. Three types of data were collected: self reported drug and alcohol use; demographics; and opinions about fellow crew member's duty performance, interactions with racial/ethnic minorities, and social or interpersonal attractiveness. Analysis indicated that recreational use of drugs or alcohol, demographic similarity, and positive attitudes toward soldiers of another racial or ethnic group were related to high evaluations of duty performance and social attractiveness.
