Effectively screening-out candidates who have potential to become “liability-prone” officers is crucial to any police agency. The critical nature of appropriate selection is readily apparent when we consider the serious ramifications that the inappropriate actions of even a single officer can have for the agency itself as well as for the community as a whole. The present paper contends that assessment centers are a viable option for selection of entry-level police officers. The literature on the use of assessment centers is reviewed, and arguments are made regarding the potential utility of employing this technique with police applicants. Recommendations are offered for implementation of an assessment center program for selection of entry-level police officers.

This study were preformed for verifying the applicability of Assessment Center(AC) for selection of university student. First, the results of decision study of generalizability theory(D study) has shown acceptable reliabilities. So, we could think that this AC was designed properly. Second, the enrolled students of the university have said that the competencies rated in this AC were important for performing study and adapting to school. And participants in this AC reported they have felt fairness and they could have done their best. It means that this AC had validity. Third, generalizability study(G study) has shown dimension effect(21.1%) was higher than rator effect(10.2%). And, in the MTMM analysis, it were found both dimension effect and exercise effect. Forth, in relation analysis between AC ratings and the various records of participants, ‘Self-led Study’ related with ‘Records of Language’ positively, ‘Discussion Skill’ related with ‘Public Anxiety’ negatively, ‘Challenge’ related with ‘Extraversion, Self Efficacy, and Record of Award off campus’ positively and with ‘Anxiety to unfamiliar’ negatively, ‘Creativity’ related with ‘Extraversion’ positively, ‘Adapting to Change’ related with ‘Emotional Stability’ positively, and ‘Interpersonal Competencies’ related with ‘Performance Anxiety and Public Anxiety’ negatively. In short, this AC has shown applicability as selection tool for university student. Finally, the implications and limitations were discussed.

Municipal Official

Two unique issues raised in using an assessment center to select a municipal official were successfully addressed. Community input, involvement and acceptance of an innovative selection process (i.e., the assessment center method) was gained through the use of interviews, a mail-out survey and by training selected community residents to serve as assessors. Expenditure for the selection process was minimized by using unpaid professionals as assessors and by utilizing city offices as the setting for the assessment center. A mail-out survey approximately one year later indicated the community residents perceived the project and candidate selection as successful.

The selection of a school principal is a very important personnel function in a school system. Considerable effort has been expended by school systems to improve the selection process. In an endeavor to establish objectivity in an apparently subjective procedure for principal selection, the National Association for Secondary School Principals (NASSP) developed an assessment process to enhance the identification and selection of potential school principals. Research studies to date have been individually inconclusive in identifying the best criteria for assessment and selection of school administrators. The primary questions of this study centered on concerns about the criteria used for evaluating leadership potential. First, are NASSP-style assessment centers effective in evaluating desirable criteria for the principalship? Which criteria used in assessment are the most and least correlated with job performance criteria? If the criterion validity of current dimension estimators is relatively low, which alternate criteria might augment the current assessment process? This study used a series of meta-analyses to integrate the factors identified within and outside of the NASSP assessment center process into a consistent theoretical framework for the improvement of principal preparation, assessment, selection and performance. A model for future assessment center programs is then proposed on the basis of this analysis.

Abstract Some of the foundations of Heyes’ radical reasoning seem to be based on a fractional selection of available evidence. Using an ethological perspective, we argue against Heyes’ rapid dismissal of innate cognitive instincts. Heyes’ use of fMRI studies of literacy to claim that culture assembles pieces of mental technology seems an example of incorrect reverse inferences and overlap theories pervasive in cognitive neuroscience.

The first question to be answered, in seeking coordinate systems for geodynamics, is: what is geodynamics? The answer is, of course, that geodynamics is that part of geophysics which is concerned with movements of the Earth, as opposed to geostatics which is the physics of the stationary Earth. But as far as we know, there is no stationary Earth – epur sic monere. So geodynamics is actually coextensive with geophysics, and coordinate systems suitable for the one should be suitable for the other. At the present time, there are not many coordinate systems, if any, that can be identified with a static Earth. Certainly the only coordinate of aeronomic (atmospheric) interest is the height, and this is usually either as geodynamic height or as pressure. In oceanology, the most important coordinate is depth, and this, like heights in the atmosphere, is expressed as metric depth from mean sea level, as geodynamic depth, or as pressure. Only for the earth do we find “static” systems in use, ana even here there is real question as to whether the systems are dynamic or static. So it would seem that our answer to the question, of what kind, of coordinate systems are we seeking, must be that we are looking for the same systems as are used in geophysics, and these systems are dynamic in nature already – that is, their definition involvestime.
