Abstract

We examined the effectiveness of several pre-exercise measures to both observe relationships among these variables and to attempt to predict 3rd year ROTC Cadet officer/evaluator report (OER) scores, a strong indication of a cadet’s leadership and decision-making capability. Participants consisted of a sample of 16 (13 male and 3 female) cadets from both the University of Virginia and Liberty University whose ages ranged from 19 to 24 years (mean = 20.7). Significant correlation relationships were revealed. A multiple regression model yielded strong evidence that demographic and 3CI scores were predictive of OER scores attained at Fort Knox. Correlations revealed multiple significant relationships leading to the suggestion that many mediating relationships existed within the variable relationship structure.
