A total of 110 instructor pilots, representing 80% of
the total wing, each filled out three modified SBD's after
being read the following instructions.
Gentlemen:
In a couple of minutes I will give each of you
three questionnaires to fill out. I want you to fill
the questionnaires out on three instructor pilots in
your flight. Please do not rate the flight commander
or any of the staff personnel—use only your peers.
Each of you observes the leadership behavior of your
fellow flight members daily. I want you to select
xhe three members of your flight that you feel most
qualified to rate on their leadership behavior. This
is not intended to be a popularity or personality con-
test, so please be as objective as you. can in your
selections. Select those people whose leader behavior
you are most familiar with.
Do net fill out anything on the front page—when
you begin to fill each questionnaire out just print
the name of the person you are rating near the center
fold. The names are necessary only to allow later
correlation of the data. I guarantee that each of
you will remain completely anonymous—name, squadron,
and base will not be used in later analysis.
I want to caution you that there are no right or
wrong answers. The items simply describe the leader-
ship behavior of an individual; they do not judge wheth-
er his behavior is desirable or undesirable. Differ-
ences are expected, so please do not hesitate to mark
an extreme answer if it is appropriate, or right down
the middle if that is appropriate.
When you open the questionnaire you will notice
xhat some of xhe items are crossed out. Ignore these
items. Fill out only the unmarked items. They are
simple multiple choice and require only a check mark
for a response. Again, make sure each questionnaire
has a name in it.
Are there any questions?
The purpose of having each instructor fill out question-
naires on three of his peers was to obtain some overlap in
ratings. Though 85 instructors had questionnaires filled
out on them, only 6!+ of these met the criterion of having
three or more SBD's pertaining to them. Three of these
