Decision Theory Formalism in the Behavioral Sciences.46—A formal method for examining decisions is developed through the use of a utility matrix [ tj] similar to the payoff matrix of game theory. In this matrix the rows correspond to the various possible acts of a decision-maker (e.g., to invest money in enterprises AltA2, -, Am) and the columns to various states, i.e., circumstances (e.g., possible levels of development of each enterprise) under which the acts are performed. The element y gives the utility (return or value) for using act At when state sf prevails.

In the second study, Ruscio, Ruscio, and Keane (2002) examined the taxonicity of PTSD in a large sample of male combat veterans (N = 1,230), who were seen at the Behavioral Sciences Division of the Veterans Affairs Boston Healthcare System s National Center for posttraumatic stress disorder between 1985 and 2000. All the participants completed the Mississippi scale (Keane, Caddell,. Taylor, 1988), a 35-item measure of combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms rated on a five-point scale a subset of this sample (n = 841) was assessed with the Clinician Administered Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Scale (CAPS), an interview measure of posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms that a clinician rates on a five-point scale. According to the CAPS, 68% of the sample qualified for a posttraumatic stress disorder diagnosis.

The methods of behavioral science can be used to reduce violations. Specially trained members of the workforce keep their eyes open and tactfully draw the attention of fellow workers to violations such as failures to wear protective clothing. These techniques can reduce the incidence of everyday accidents, but they have little or no influence on process safety.

I was selected to head up the Department of Behavioral Science at the Medical Field Service School at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. PresidentNixon was just beginning to implement his War on Drugs. The psychiatric consultant to the Surgeon General seemed to think I was the right one to develop courses for future drug specialists and counselors. 

Starting in June 1971, my professional life ehanged and the years at Edgewood Arsenal were soon left far behind. Until October 1973 I was at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, designing and teaching courses in substance abuse and psychopharmacology. As Chief of the Behavioral Science Department, I watched its roster swell from 35 when I arrived to almost 100 a year later.
