Abstract
This thesis replicated a 1983 study by Navy Personnel
Research and Development Center reviewing the possible differences
in the narrative portions of Naval Fitness Reports.
The sample used in this study consisted of FitReps of Naval
Postgraduate School students and those written by senior
officers with both men and women in their commands. NPRDC
discovered significant differences in the average number of
descriptors used in FitReps written about women as opposed
to those written about men. There were 16 different descriptors
which showed a difference. The current study
showed no differences in the mean number of descriptors used
in FitReps in this sample. However, FitReps written by
women showed differences in two descriptors, "Relations with
Others" and "Recommendations." FitReps written on women
received more recommendations than those written on men.
