The report describes the development and experimental evaluation of several measures intended to augment the present naval aviation selection test battery. These include the 'Altitude Judgment' test, the 'Maneuvers' test, a short-form 'Instrument Comprehension' test, a socioeconomic scale, and ratings of the prestige and security of the aviator's job. ; "Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, MF022.01.02-5001.51."--title page. ; "March 1967." ; Includes bibliographical references (page 8) ; The report describes the development and experimental evaluation of several measures intended to augment the present naval aviation selection test battery.

It was hypothesized that morale level as measured by a self-rating scale would vary as a function of the subject's own definition of morale. During the week of their graduation from training, 560 Naval aviation trainees were administered an anonymous questionnaire that, among other things, asked them to give their own definition of morale. They were then instructed to note the morale of their own group in advanced training on a ten-point scale with their own definition as a frame of reference. A content analysis of the definitions was made, and three definition areas were identified. These can be described briefly as task oriented, group oriented, and feeling oriented. Mean morale rates were obtained for the subjects falling in each of the definition categories. Significant differences among this array of means were demonstrated. The task oriented group yielded the highest mean, with group oriented and feeling oriented following in that order. Hypotheses for further study were developed.

Seven hundred and seven naval aviation trainees from three stages of training were administered an anonymous questionnaire that asked them to give their own definition of morale. They were then instructed to rate their own morale on a ten-point scale using their definition as a frame of reference. A content analysis of the definitions identified the following categories: task oriented, group oriented, and self oriented. Mean morale rates were obtained for the subjects falling in each of the definitional categories and stages of training. The results showed that morale increased as trainees progressed from pre-flight to basic flight training, that morale level varied as a function of the definition expressed, and that the definition expressed was a function of the stage of training experienced.

The military physician is frequently confronted by patients who have made a suicide attempt. In an attempt to clarify the significance of these suicide attempts in the military, all patients who had made a suicide attempt in a nine-month period, and who were seen by the psychiatric staff of the U.S. Naval Aviation Medical Center, were retrospectively studied (N = 42). The suicide group was compared on 35 demographic, historical, and clinical variables to two control populations: (1) randomly selected psychiatric in-patients (N = 20) who did not make a suicide attempt; (2) well-adjusted enlisted men seen for administrative screening evaluations (N = 30). The suicide group and the psychiatric control group were followed 9 to 18 months after initial psychiatric contact. All data were statistically analyzed. From these data emerged statistically significant guidelines for the evaluation, treatment, and disposition of suicidal patients by the military psychiatrist. ; "Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, MR005.04-0017.1."--title page. ; "8 August 1966." ; Includes bibliographical references (pages 18-19) ; The military physician is frequently confronted by patients who have made a suicide attempt.
