Finally, midshipman attendees became much more left-wing after attending the psychology course. The words used, which could have come from a Soviet commissar of the time were ‘less reactionary*’ (more socialist), especially with regard to ‘social problems’.

(*There is a serious point here: the term ‘reactionary’ was used in Communist countries to denote any enemy of the Communist state. Or to put in more blatantly, anyone who was not a committed communist. It was not until the mid 1960s that the word ‘reactionary’ became a commonplace of European and American liberals.)

It must be noted that people who join either the armed forces and law enforcement agencies tend to be psychological types who are comfortable taking orders anyway. No matter what those orders are. So social conformity to perceived authoritative pressure in such persons is not really a great surprise.

There was notably no proof that the course produced ‘better leaders’. However, despite this admitted shortfall the results attained were seen as socially ‘desirable’. The question is of course desirable to whom? It was also concluded that any and all leaders to be, in all walks of life, would ‘benefit’ from such indoctrination. Sorry, education. Even the use of psychodrama* was seen as potentially helpful in future training programmes.

(*Role-playing, rehearsing possible challenging situations, acting out events from the past etc. An alleged therapeutic technique.)

Concerned that many non-commissioned men held leadership positions, the ‘psychologists’ turned their attention to the ‘training’ of such people. Being good at your job hitherto was the main basis of promotion for non-commissioned men. Merit was seen by the psychologist as no good reason for a person being eligible for leadership roles. ‘Personality tests’ were seen as being better able to select for the appropriate individuals.

Leader-follower relations were also studied, especially in reconnaissance squads in platoons. The aim was to find the ‘right kind’ of person for such a role amongst noncom men.
