Book Description
The purpose of the project was to evaluate peer ratings as predictors of NCO potential and to study the relative effectiveness of various methods of obtaining peer ratings. Operational peer ratings obtained in four companies at the end of four weeks of Basic Combat Training were compared with peer ratings at the end of the 8th week. For two companies, squads within a company were rearranged so that the second rating was made by different raters than the first. In the two remaining companies, squads remained intact. Cadre ratings were obtained for comparison with peer ratings, as were also later peer and cadre ratings for those men in available AIT assignments. Peer ratings of leadership potential in groups of 12 to 16 men had substantial reliability over 4 to 16 weeks. The reliability held whether individuals were in stable groups and rated by the same men a second time, or in changing groups and rated by different men. Peer ratings were more reliable than cadre ratings obtained under comparable circumstances. Since a man rated high as a leader in one group is likely to be equally acceptable as a leader in a different group, management can use peer ratings as dependable indexes in assigning men to positions of leadership regardless of the composition of the group.

Book Description
Understanding interpersonal relationships requires understanding actors, behaviors, and contexts. This 2002 volume presents research from a variety of disciplines that examine personal relationships on all three levels. The first section focuses on the factors that influence individuals to enter, maintain, and dissolve relationships. The second section emphasizes ongoing processes that characterize relationships and focuses on issues such as arguing and sacrificing. The third and final section demonstrates that the process of stability and change are embedded in social, cultural, and historical contexts. Chapters address cultural universals as well as cross-cultural differences in relationship behaviors and outcomes. The emergence of relational forms, such as the interaction between people and computers, is also explored. Stability and Change in Relationships will be of interest to a broad range of fields, including psychology, sociology, communications, gerontology, and counselling.
Peer Evaluation and Selection Systems

Book Description
Humans tend to judge each other, often spontaneously and effortlessly, but also formally and deliberately. The author argues that this process of peer evaluation, or peer review, developed as a result of natural selection and offers adaptive benefits to individuals and communities. However, the peer review process is also stochastic, is based on assumptions, and relies on surrogate measures of success. As a result, particular instances of peer review may be non-adaptive or maladaptive. Another limitation of peer review is that it is useless in the face of novelty. Although peer review, in a broad sense, is critical to the success of human societies, the meaning of peer review is often overly simplified and misunderstood, its results overvalued, and its outcomes misinterpreted - causing much turmoil and frustration. The individuals who participate in a peer review process, especially those rejected by peers, as well as organizations that utilize peer review for decision making, will benefit from the insights proposed in this book.
