FOREWORD

The Personnel Accession and Utilization Technical Area of the ArmyResearch Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) is con-cerned with providing integrated sets of techniques to support Armypersonnel management systems. Early identification of officer leadersand development of officer leadership from cadet training through com-pany and field grade assignments are of major concern in the managementof the Army's manpower resources. ARI conducts research to providescientific means of identifying individuals with good leadership poten-tial for officer training, selecting officers for commissioning, andevaludting their performance.

The Cadet Evaluation Battery (CEB) was developed as an end productof a program undertaken to meet the need for improving the selectionand assignment of personnel in accord with their capabilities to meetdiffering leadership requirements. The program evolved in response torequirements and recommendations of the Army Scientific Advisory Panel(ASAP) and the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (DCSPER).

The CEB is essentially a refined and reduced version of the Differ-ential Officer Battery (DOB) . Technical Research Report 1173 presentedthe major psychological factors derived from officer responses to testsof the experimental DOB and described the reduction of the measuresobtained to a manageable number of experimental predictor scores. Di-mensions derived from a factor analysis of actions observed at an OfficerEvaluation Center (OEC) simulation, which was developed to test the pre-dictive validity of the DOB, are described in Technical Research Report1172. Research Report 1182 examined the extent to which DOB scores wereassociated with differential performance in the OEC exercise and successin combat and technical/administrative assignments.

The transition from the experimental DOB test battery to the opera-tional CEB battery necessitated the collection of normative data fromthe relevaut cadet group. These data were collected on male studentsin the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps by Richard D. Doorley in1971. The present publication uses normative data recently collectedto coutpare male and female performances and compares these recentnormativ, data with those collected in 1971. It carries forth the" .,lt ion and as:; iqpnent proqram responsive to the roconueordatjiots OfAl.;AP and , X1CSPER a-; well as to the objectives of Arnmy 'ro ject.

BRIEF I<IRequirement:

To compare male and female performance on the Cadet Evaluation'Battery (CEB) and to examine changes in male CEB performance between1971 and 1975.

Procedure:

The CEB was administered to 637 male cadets enrolled in the 2dyear--Military Science (MS) 11--of the Army Reserve Officers' TrainingCorps (ROTC) in 1971 and to 1,035 females and 926 males applying forenrollment into the 3d year (MS Ill) of ROTC in 1975. CEB scale andsubscale scores were compared for all three samples.

Findings:

Cognitive scale scores from the 1971 sample were superior to the"cognitive scores for both the male and female 1975 samples, whereas thenoncognitive scores for the 1975 male group exceeded those for the 1971group on three of four scales. The 1975 female sample achieved higherscores than the 1975 male sample on two of the three cognitive scales,but the 1975 male group was superior to the female sample on all four

*• noncognitive scales.

Utilization of Findings:

The findings will (a) heip determine the extent to which the CEBwill be used for female cadets and the manner in which female CEB scoreswill be interpreted and (b) be used to establish new CEB norms.

CADT EVALUATION BATTERY: A COMPARISON OF 1975 MALE AND FEMALESCORES WITH ONE ANOTHER AND WITH 1971 MALE SCORkS

INTRODUCTION

The Cadet Evaluation Battery (CEB) has been used operationally asa diagnostic measure of officer potential of cadets in the Army ReserveOfficers' Training Corps (ROTC) since 1972. The CEB consists of twoprimary parts: the Cadet Evaluation Test (CET) and the Cadet EvaluationInventory (CEI). The CET provides a measure of the-cadet's cognitiveabilities in the areas of combat leadership, technical managerial lead-ership and career potential. The CEI provides a noncognitive measureof the cadet's interests in the same three areas as well as a measureof the cadet's career intent.

The CEB represents the culmination of a lengthy and comprehensivetest development process. An early predecessor was the DifferentialOfficer Leadership (DOL) Experimental Test Battery, which was adminis-tered experimentally to a male officer sample in 1958-1959. Based onthe results of analyses on this sample, the DOL was refined to becomethe Differential Officer Battery (DOB) (Willemin, 1964). Pactor analy-ses were conducted on individual tests or groupings of tests comprisingthe DOB (Helme, Willemin, a Day, 1971), followed by validational analy-ses based on an all-male sample in a simulated combat situation on theresulting scales (Helme, Willemin, & Day, 1974). The validational datawere then used to select scales from four information tests, two self-description inventories (Differential Inventory-A and DifferentialInventory-B), an attitudinal inventory (Individual Understanding Test),and a questionnaire on demographic and background information (PersonalData Record). Also, a new scale, based partly on items from an instru-ment entitled the Officer Assignment Questionnaire, was added. Itemsfrom these scales were combined to form the CEB, with the informationtests providing the cognitive items and all other tests providing thenoncognitive items.

The validational analyses on the DOB indicated that combat cogni-tive and noncognitive scales incorporated into the CEB were predictiveof combat leadership performance, and that technical-managerial cogni-tive and noncognitive CEB scales were predictive of leadership perfor-mance in technical and managerial roles.

The career potential and career intent scales are used to predictwhether the cadet will pursue an Army officer career.

OBJECTIVES

The contoint of C2) scales and means and standard deviations of CEBscalo scorkta were determined on the basis of malt siamples, In recentyears, fwmalos have been entering FOX in increasing numbers; therefort?,so th0u the CE14 will be optivally useful for assessment and counselingof women, normative information regarding female CES performance isn:eded. The present study was designed to provide such information.Also, because no standardixation information on males had been colloctedsinco 1971, a new sample of oales was tested for comparison with boththo 1971 sample and the female sample.

MEHOD

Subjects

In 1971, a sample of 637 wale cadets enrolled in Military Science(MS) Ii from R)TC host institutions was tested. 1 These schools wererepresentative in terms of academic level, cadet background, geographicaroa, and type (public, private, military).

The more recent samples comprised 1,035 female and 92t, male appli-cants for MS IIl, including both advancing MS II cadets and 2-year pro-gram applicants, in FY 1975 (school year 1974-75). Units were instructedto return tests mvpleted by all female applicants during FY 75 to ARI.Of a total of 291 units, 186 were identified as having sent tests forone or more female students. As some test information was not accoopa-nied by an identifiable school code, the nurmber of units contributingto this sample may have been somewhat higher. Also, among those notresponding, approximately 30 schools had no females attending MS IIduring school year 1974-75. Many of these schools may simply have hadno female applicants to MS IXI.

Male rosults wore randomly selected from a complete file of allmales taking the CEB in FY 1975 and also supplied to ARI.

Procedure

Th. CEB is a self-administored test battery developed by tho ArmyResearch institute. This battery consists of two test booklets, 7scales, and 23 subscales. One booklet, thu CET, contains the followingscales: Combat Leadorships Cognitive (CLC), Technical-Managerial Lead-ership: Cognitive (TMC); and Career Potential: Cognitive (CPC). TheCLC scale is composed of two subscalest Tactics and Practical Skills.

1 This data collection effort was conducted under the direction of

Richard ). Doorley.

i _ - _ _ _

There aro also two subscales for the TMC scale: History, Politics, andCulture, and Math/Physical Science. CPC is composed of a single sub-scale: Technology Operations.

The composition of the five CET subscales was determined by a fac-tor analysis of the DOB information tests (Helme, 1968a). Four of thesubscales (Practical Skills; History, Politics, and Culturea Math/Physical Science; and Technology Operations) emerged as factors in thisanalysis, while the fifth, Tactics, was a residual content scale,

The other booklet, the CEI, conthins these scales: Combat Leader-ship: Noncognitive (CLN); Technical-Managerial Leadership: Noncogni-tive (TMN); Career Potential: Noncognitive (CPN), and Career Intent.CLN contains these subscales: Nature Endurance; Combat Engineer; CombatLeader: Physical Leaderl Nonaesthetici and Organized Sports and OutdoorSkills. TMN includes these: Decisive Leader; Verbal/Social LeaderlRural versus Urban; Scientific Interest; Scientific Orientation; andMath/Physical Science Interest. CPN subscales are Administrator Non-interest; Administrative Noninterest; Combat; and Manual versus WhiteCollar Interest. Career Intent has but one subscale, Career Intent.

Of the 18 CEI subscales, 13 were derived from separate factoranalyses on each of the two self-description inventories: DifferentialInventory-A (Helms, 1968b) and Differential Inventory-B (Smith, 1968).Combat Leader and Scientific Orientation were factors on the IndividualUnderstanding Test, Rural versus Urban Interest and Math/PhysicalScience Interest were derived from the Personal Data Record. Finally,Career Intent was based partly on the Officer Assignment Questionnaireand partly on newly developed items.

In 1975, two forms of the CEB were in operational use. All sub1-Jects sampled that year received Form 1. The CET, Form 1, contains 100items with 4-response alternatives. The CEI, Form 1, contains 125 itemswhich have 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-response alternatives. Nine CEI items arenot scored.

Subjects in the 1971 sample received an experimental form of theCEB. Items scored on this form were identical to those scored on Form. 1.The CEB was administered to students at the local ROTC units.

RESULTS

Standard deviations and mean scores for the 1971 sample and the1975 male and female samples were computed for each scale (see Table 1)Results of t tests comparing group means on each scale are shown inTable 2. Male means for 1971 were significantly different (p < .005)from male means for 1975 for each of the seven scales. on each of thethree cognitive scales, the performance of 1971 group was superior. Onall noncognitive scales except Career Potential the 1975 group achievedhigher scores.

Comparisons between the 1975 females and the 1971 males revealeda significant (p - .005) superiority for males on five of the sevenscales. On one Beale, Technioal-Manageriali Noncognitive, no signifi-cant differences were foundi on Career Intent, the female scores weresignificantly (p < .005) higher.

Scores from the 1975 male sample were significantly (p < .005)higher than female scores on all four noncognitive scales. Males alsoscored significantly (p < .005) higher than females on the cognitivecombat leadership scale, while females scored higher (p < .005) on thecognitive technical-managerial scale. Females also scored higher onthe cognitive career potential scale, but the difference was not sig-nificant (.05 < p < .10).

Means for the 1975 male and female groups were computed and com-pared, using t tests for each subscale, as shown in Table 3. Male andfemale scores differed significantly (p < .05) on 18 of 23 subscalesiof these 18 differences, 15 favored males and 3 favored females.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS

The most striking result that emerges from a comparison of the1971 sample with the 1975 samples is the recent deterioration on thecognitive scales. Although some of the itemsn used have probably becomeobsolete since their incorporation into the DOL in the 1950's, suchobsolescence was probably almoat as evident in 1971 as ir 1975. An

effort is currently in progress to replace questionable items. A moreimportant factor may well have been thQ change in composition of theROTC MS II population between 1971 and 1975. In 1971 the draft, byremoving the nonmilitary job options of many college students, madeROTC a relatively attractive choice for many who might not otherwisehave considered it. The competition for the limited number of ROTCspaces may well have produced a higher level of academic quality thanin 1975, when the draft was no longer a factor.

It should be noted that the 1975 sample included applicants tothe 2-year ROTC program as well as cadets enrolled in MS I1. An ex-posure to ROTC courses might be expected to improve scores on the combatcognitive scale, which has a number of items on military tactics. How-ever, such exposure would have no apparent effect on the technical-managerial cognitive scale, which is composed of history/politics/cultureand math/physical sciences subtests. Because the cognitive technical-managerial scores declined to an even greater extent than the cognitivecombat scores between 1971 and 1975, it does not appear that the inclu-sion of 2-year applicants was primarily responsible for the overallcognitive score deterioration.

Comparisons between the 1971 and 1975 male groups on the noncog-nitive scales revealed a trend markedly different from that found incomparisons of the cognitive scales. On each noncognitive scale exceptcareer potential, scores indicated that the 1975 group tended to havemore of the interests found to correlate with successful on-the-jobperformance than the 1971 group. These findings are again consistentwith an explanation based on the changing composition of the ROTC popu-lation between 1971 and 1975. A likely impact of the draft was toproduce an ROTC population with relatively heterogeneous interests in1971, which paralleled the interests of active military officers to asomewhat limited degree. With the draft eliminated by 1975, studentswith traditional military interests were more prevalent in the ROTCpopulation. This explanation is consistent with the finding that the1975 group demonstrated more motivation for a military career than the1971 group on the career intent scale.

Comparisons between male and female scores from the 1975 samplesindicated that females tended to perform as competently as males on thecognitive scales but did not perform as well on the noncognitive scales.

Although the reliance on voluntary cooperation of schools inobtaining data on females raised the possibility of response bias, aSi' sufficiently large proportion of schools did respond to indicate that

I, the female sample mean obtained here was a fairly reasonable estimatoof the 5population mean for female applicants to the ROTC Advanced Cours'ie.1n 1975.

Any interpretation of the results for females must racognime that

efforts to select and validate CNB items were conducted using malesamples. Thsi the noncognnitiv itms selected indicated what interestsand preferences are characteristic of a successful male officer, buttheme may not correspond exactly to the interests and preferences of asuccessful female officer. It cannot# then, be concluded that the non-cognitive scores show that male WOTC stodnts are more likely to besuccessful officers than female IITC MMstudients.

Research is currently in progemw to valUkdt the CX3 on femalesmusing the 1975 sample. U1ntil the results of this investigation areavailsable, interpretatiomn of fowle anosnmustUwre smres must be madewith special caution. The results an the o0Rtive scales provide atleast a preliminary trnication that 'the qpavot4i a use of these scalesdoes not place fesmale cadets at a unfair disafvantage.
