AN EVALUATION OF CONTINUOUS, SELECTIVE ATTENTION, REASONING AND COLLISION TIME PREDICTION SKILLS IN SECURITY GUARDS

Abstract

Objective: This study aims at investigating the success of the continuous and selective attention, reasoning and collision prediction time test batteries which were among the tests used in the psychotechnical evaluation of security guards in meeting standard norms. Materials and Methods: 123 security guards (95 Male, 28 Female) working as security guards at the university and agreeing to participate in the study were included in the study. Each participant was administered the Continuous Attention Test (SÜDT), Selective Attention Test (SEDT), Reasoning Test (MT), Collision Time Test on the computer-aided system, respectively, and the scores obtained were recorded on the computer-aided system. Licensed evaluation system software developed by ALG Psikoteknik (https://www.algpsikoteknik.com) was used as the test system. Norm values were created from the data collected from 100% Turkish society. Norm values are values for drivers in the computer-aided system. Results: From the test batteries applied, 99 participants (80.5%) in the continuous attention test, 117 participants (95.1%) in the selective attention test, 111 participants (90.2%) in the reasoning test and 73 participants (59.3%) in the collision time prediction test were successful. In three of the 4 test batteries applied, over 80% success was achieved and almost 60% success was provided in the collision time prediction test. Conclusion: Creating norm values specific to security guards and applying psychotechnical evaluation test batteries are beneficial in evaluating psychological situations.
