Intelligence Analysis for Tomorrow: Advances from the Behavioral and Social Sciences
- Share to:
The intelligence community (IC) plays an essential role in the national security of the United States, and its success has always depended on being smarter and more agile than America’s adversaries. Today’s threat environment presents intense pressures to retain this edge through timely assess- ments and rapid adaptation. The IC deserves great credit for its commitment to self-scrutiny and improvement, including its investments in lessons-learned, training, and collaboration procedures. Yet these efforts have been only weakly informed by the behavioral and social sciences. At the same time, post-9/11 changes in the IC have created unprecedented demands for that knowledge. In this context, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) asked the National Research Council to conduct a study to synthesize and assess the behavioral and social science research evidence relevant (1) to critical problems of individual and group judgment and of communication by intelligence analysts and (2) to kinds of analytic pro- cesses that are employed or have potential in addressing these problems.
