Since then, he has consulted with a wide range of institutions ranging from large public corporations and federal agencies to smaller, more unique, institutions, even including a Trappist monastery. Because of his training and experience as an aviator, Jerry has often consulted within the aerospace industry. He is best known for having developed the Cockpit Resource Management programs now in use by the major air carriers and the U S Air Force.

CANDIDATE FOR THE SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY FACULTY POSITION T. Chris Riley-Tillman, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Department of Psychology, East Carolina University Direct Behavior Ratings: The New Emerging Alternative November 5th, 2008 12:15 1:30 pm Room A317 Graduate School of Applied and Applied Psychology This presentation overviews a comprehensive research program which is focused on the development and validation of Direct Behavior Ratings (DBR) for use as a social behavior formative assessment methodology. The defining characteristics of DBR include the directness of observation, the observation of specific behaviors, and an evaluative component of ratings. DBR instrumentation and procedures combine the benefits of both behavior rating scales (i.e., efficient data recording) and systematic direct observation (i.e., data recording that occurs at the same time and place of behavior).
