HFM-183 - Lecture Series on Measurement of Effectiveness of Psychological Operations as Part of Information Operations Turkey, from 23/03/2010 to 24/03/2010. Subject: Recent operations in Afghanistan and Iraq underline the importance of the effect of all types of military operations on behaviour and attitudes as well as the difficulties of integrating operations intended to influence behaviour with the operational planning process. However, measuring and tracking changes of non-physical effects can be difficult and time consuming. Without thorough knowledge of human factors and methods of social scientific research, it is unfeasible to measure attitudes and behaviour properly. Given this, assessing whether attitude or behavioural change is the result of military operations or other unforeseen factors and processes, such as other military activities, unexpected events, and the behaviour of other parties in the conflict, remains one of our greatest challenges.The goal of this technical course is to raise participants & #8217; awareness of measuring changes in behaviour and attitudes in a military context, based on work carried out in Research Task Group HFM-160. We will address identifying measurable concepts, methods and techniques to collect data, data analysis techniques and the presentation of results. To do this we will hold a two-day course, which includes briefings on key topics, scenario-based exercises and group discussion. Participants will come away with a better understanding of what it means to measure behavioural change, how it can be done and how to interpret the data in the broader context. rta.nato.int |
