Research about Predicting Dangerousness

Military history suggests that specific attributes result in better performance. In assessing whether personnel are suitable for certain roles, particularly those high-risk operations discussed by Kennedy and Zillmer (2012), military psychologists consider individual characteristics and attributes. These attributes are generally thought to predict successful performance in high risk roles and circumstances.

In preparation for the discussion forum consider the course materials for the week addressing the personality, cognitive, intellectual, physical, and other individual attributes of military personnel shown to be related to effective performance in high risk and combat operations.

Share your thoughts about the military’s assessment of these individual attributes, discussing whether you perceive the practice as one that contributes to performance in high risk and combat operations as we begin our study of the psychology of combat.
