Changes in the international system since the end of the Cold War has necessitated the reevaluation of the theoretical assumptions that have underlay nuclear deterrence strategies for the past half-century. In light of the emergence of new nuclear-armed states and the breakdown of the bipolar balance-of-power, the old one-size-fits-all deterrence approaches may not reflect the realities of the new security environment. This study suggests how Strategic Personality Typing can provide useful insights into how to approach the problem of forging more effective and supple deterrence strategies in the future. It includes a series of historical case studies to illustrate the kinds of insights the Strategic Personality methodology can provide.

"The purpose of this research was to assess factors that impact job satisfaction, job tenure, and employee dissatisfaction among airport passenger baggage screeners. This effort is in direct response to a severe employee turnover problem within the industry. The primary need for this effort is to guide the development and implementation of intervention programs to improve employee tenure. Consequently, this reduces employee turnover, improves system effectiveness by increasing the overall experience base of the workforce, and enhances employee job satisfaction. Initiatives to identify factors contributing to job satisfaction and career retention were conducted in 1994. A series of subject matter expert (SME) interviews and workshops employing modified Delphi small-group techniques generated an extensive data base that described factors related to career retention. These data were collected from a sampling of diverse ethnic and cultural groups from two security firms at three airports that were geographically dispersed. The data set included an evaluation of career retention factors using consensus techniques. This report substantially expends those findings."--P. iii.

This study examines the attitudes and subjective perceptions of the aging process as experienced by male (6) and female (9) subjects in retirement, over the age sixty-five. Data drawn from interviews conducted in the subject's home and based on a questionnaire of twenty-three open-ended questions explores their encounters with role changes, status loss, work, discrimination, family contacts, and gender differences in their aging. Feminist, Labelling, Activity, Disengagement, and Personality Theories are reviewed. The principal findings of this research indicate that there is a wide variety of styles of personal aging which I call liberated, volunteers, wanderers, family first, and retreaters. In general, all my sample were satisfied with their own aging, although many had experienced various forms of discrimination. Men and women seem to age in a similar way although they believe that they age differently. Most of my sample travelled extensively regardless of their income. Finally, roles became far more fluid as aging progressed relating to common interests and needs rather than to social obligations and roles.
