Among a sample of Air Force cadets facing the prospect of basic training (N = 1,190; 1,005 men and 185 women), the influence of a defensive test-taking style on measures of depressive and anxious symptoms was examined. Participants completed the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck & Steer, 1987) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (Beck, Epstein, Brown, & Steer, 1988), as well as the MMPI (Hathaway & McKinley, 1943) L scale. Results supported hypotheses that defensiveness would affect a self-report measure of depression but not a self-report measure of anxiety and would do so more among men than women. Applied implications of the results are discussed.

The applicability of the Turkish Armed Forces̕ personality test battery to the selection of the Turkish Air Force Cadets
Koçarslan, Eylem; Bilgiç, Reyhan; Department of Psychology (2005)
This study was conducted to estabilish the validity of the Turkish Armed Forces Personality Battery (TAFPB) in selecting Turkish Air Force Academy (TAFA) cadets. Before the data collection some items of TAFPB were made suitable for the TAFA cadets by SME̕s. Data were collected from first, second and third year students on TAFPB, 16 PF, psychomotor scores and objective and subjective performance measures. The data of 647 TAFA cadets were evaluated. The correlation matrixes, means and SD̕S of this study is fo...
STEREOTYPES OF SUICIDE CAUSES FOR 3 AGE GENDER COHORTS
SAHIN, N; SAHIN, NH; TUMER, S (Wiley, 1994-04-01)
On the basis of open-ended questions and interviews using vignettes of fictitious male and female suicide committers of ages 15, 40, and 60, a list of reasons attributed to their suicides was obtained. From this list, a 45-item (5-point Likert scale) checklist was developed. This checklist was administered to a total of 232 respondents in a factorial design. The subjects were asked to respond to items concerning the fictitious suicide committer of their own age and gender, as well as to items for the other ...
Azimuthal correlations for inclusive 2-jet, 3-jet, and 4-jet events in pp collisions at root s=13 TeV
Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-07-01)
Azimuthal correlations between the two jets with the largest transverse momenta p(T) in inclusive 2-, 3-, and 4-jet events are presented for several regions of the leading jet p(T) up to 4 TeV. For 3- and 4-jet scenarios, measurements of the minimum azimuthal angles between any two of the three or four leading p(T) jets are also presented. The analysis is based on data from proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS Collaboration at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated lumino...
Measurement of officer personality attributes: A construct validity study
Sümer, Hayriye Canan; Sumer, N; Cifci, OS; Demirutku, K (2000-06-01)
This study represents an important step in the development of a personality test battery to be used in the selection of officers recruited from outside sources in the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF). Prior to this study, following a personality-oriented job analysis, an initial test battery was developed and pilotted. Based on the pilot data, revisions were made in the initial test battery, resulting in a four-factor model of personality. In the present study, the revised battery was administered to a large grou...
Design of an axial flow fan for a vertical wind tunnel for paratroopers
Çevik, Fatih; Albayrak, Kahraman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010)
Free fall is one of the important phases of the operation performed by the Special Forces paratroopers. Also civilian parachutists are performing free fall as a sport by doing aerobatic maneuvers when they reach the terminal velocity during falling before opening their parachutes. Vertical wind tunnels are used for training the parachutists and paratroopers. It is safe, cheap and more convenient when compared to jumping out of an airplane. This thesis consists of aerodynamic design of closed circuit, double...
