Abstract:In July, 1967, a report was published by the Personnel Research Laboratory, Lackland Air Force Base, entitled "An Attempt to Predict Automobile Accidents Among Air Force Personnnel". Approximately twelve thousand basic airmen and eleven hundred officer training candidates were tested during their first week of duty. Sixteen different tests were administered, including a questionnaire containing a number of biographical items and questions pertaining to personal driving experience prior to entrance into the military. Not all tests were given to all of the subjects, resulting in four officer sub-groups and nine basic airmen groups, each of which had been administered a different combination. Correlational matrices were developed for the various groups and it was concluded that other than "number of miles driven" (as estimated by each subject), there were no variables which would add to the practical prediction of accidents among airmen. However, because of limitations of time and funds imposed upon the project, these data were not further analyzed and the work accomplished was published in a brief report (Mullins, 1967). However, it was concluded by this author (F.L.M.) that this material was very like data being gathered on a civilian population and could provide additional information concerning accident prediction.
