註釋A sample of Hispanics from California, Texas, Illinois and New York, provided questions they would like to ask about the U.S. Navy. Content analysis of the questions revealed emphases on certain concerns. A sample of Illinois college students was included in the study for comparison purposes. The concerns expressed by Hispanics and Anglo-Americans are generally similar. However, Hispanics are concerned that the Navy may not be sufficiently Hispanic and thus they may lose their cultural identity by joining it, and the Navy schedules may prove unpleasant. Concern is also expressed about Anglo prejudice and threats to one's dignity. Finally, they mention more frequently than the ANGLO-Americans, that they are likely to miss their families and be unable to meet their family obligations. However, some of these negative concerns are balanced by more favorable emphasis of personal improvement, promotions, glory and special privileges cognitively linked with service in the Navy.
