ABSTRACT

Peer assessments are used in a variety of military contexts. The current study examined factors that may influence how peers assess each other, including age, perceived warmth and competence, locus of control, and physical fitness. Participants in a junior leader training course completed peer assessments at three time points during the course per curriculum requirements. Participants also rated their peers on measures of warmth and competence and responded to a locus of control measure. Course performance metrics, including physical fitness scores were also obtained. Ratings of competence were the only significant predictors of peer assessments over all three time points. The inter-correlations between peer, self, and instructor assessments of leadership and course performance were also examined. The implications of these findings are discussed.

同行评估用于各种军事环境。目前的研究考察了可能影响同龄人如何相互评价的因素，包括年龄、感知的温暖和能力、控制点和身体健康。初级领导者培训课程的参与者按照课程要求在课程期间的三个时间点完成了同行评估。参与者还根据热情和能力的指标对同龄人进行评分，并对控制点指标做出回应。还获得了课程表现指标，包括体能分数。能力评级是所有三个时间点同行评估的唯一重要预测因素。还检查了同伴、自我和教师对领导力和课程表现的评估之间的相互关系。讨论了这些发现的含义。
