The inter-disciplinary nature of aviation or aerospace psychology
Research Project Instructions
For this course, you will be submitting a research paper based on predetermined subject areas.
This research project will provide an opportunity to examine an instructor-approved issue in aviation psychology using the appropriate available literature. In previous classes, one student
explored fatigue and its effect on aviator decision-making (the human factors involved with CFIT accidents), while another explored the effects of lower altitude hypoxia on pilot performance.
The inter-disciplinary nature of aviation or aerospace psychology
For this research paper, you will need to examine an instructor-approved issue in aviation psychology using scholarly literature. Your topic will need to relate to one of the following subject areas:
1. Firstly, the inter-disciplinary nature of aviation/aerospace psychology and its various fields of practice.
2. Secondly, the role of organizational factors on aircrew operations, operational effectiveness, and flight safety.
3. Thirdly, the impact of individual behavior, such as alcohol consumption, on human performance, and flight safety.
4. Fourthly, human error: the systems perspective, latent causes, and prevention strategies.
5. Behavioral analysis and learning theories: aviation/aerospace applications.
6. Human factors engineering principles: how crew station design can impact system function, human performance, and flight/ground safety.
7. Additionally, cognitive information processing as it relates to aeronautical decision making, and its impact in determining mental workload, stress level, and situational awareness.
8. The effects of advanced automation, crew resource management, and simulation training on aircrew performance.
9. The history and current status of aircrew selection methods and procedures and their relationship to the research on pertinent knowledge, skills and abilities.
10. Current trends in organizations, technology, and personnel from an aviation/aerospace psychology perspective.
Lastly, ensure that the paper is at least three pages exclusive of the cover and the reference pages. Also, ensure that you include all the references you use in finding research for this assignment paper. References should be at least three for the paper. All references, citation, and writing should follow the APA formatting and styling guidelines. Finally, ensure you focus on the assignment topic in detail.
