Psychiatry Faculty Publications
While numerous studies have established relationships between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and adult substance use, few qualitative studies have explored the differing ways in which experiences of childhood adversity are emplotted into narratives of drug use and recovery. This paper analyzes qualitative data collected as part of a mixed-methods longitudinal study of people with opioid use disorder. Narratives of adverse childhood experiences emerged unprompted. After coding qualitative data for mention of ACEs, we thematically analyzed coded data using a framework of critical phenomenology and constructed a four-part typology to differentiate the ways that ACEs were emplotted into narratives. Our …
Get The Job Done Or Safety Above All? How Training Background Affects Safety In Helicopter Pilots, Anna Kaminska, Amy Irwin, Devin Ray, Rhona Flin
Get The Job Done Or Safety Above All? How Training Background Affects Safety In Helicopter Pilots, Anna Kaminska, Amy Irwin, Devin Ray, Rhona Flin
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Culture has been identified as one of the main input factors impacting flight safety and team performance. Diverse methodologies were used to examine how professional culture influences helicopter pilots’ safety-related behaviours. Study 1 (mixed-methods survey) showed that the main difference between civilian- and military-trained pilots can be put down to ‘safety vs. efficiency’, with pilots mentioning that what is perceived to be a threat seems to differ between military-and civilian-trained helicopter pilots. Additionally, having a multi-professional crew (military- and civilian-trained pilots together in a cockpit) was seen as having a positive effect on all non-technical skills, especially on situation awareness. …

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Enabling new and novel concepts of operations for Advanced Air Mobility poses an important need to evolve current safety management systems (SMS) and is posited to be realized through advances in Machine Learning (ML) Data Sciences and Artificial Intelligence. The “In-time Aviation Safety Management System” (IASMS) concept of operations supports the need to evolve today’s SMS to become more tailorable, scalable, and interoperable in response to forecasted changes expected for the future airspace system. Key to IASMS is integration of proactive and predictive ML algorithms trained to provide “in time” detection and mitigation of hazards and emergent risks through new …

A Competency Framework For Aviation Psychologists And Human Factors Specialists In Aviation, Sonja Biede, Federic Detaille, Optihum, Tina Narotra, Katarina Petrovic, Hermann Rathje, Alessandra Rea, Michaela Schwarz, Anna Vereker
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
The new Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/1042 on technical requirements and administrative procedures includes psychological assessment of flight crew which refers to accredited Aviation Psychologists (AVPSY). However, the associated acceptable meansof compliance and guidance material does not provide a specific definition or requirements of such psychologists. Likewise, the term Aviation Human Factors Specialist (AVHFS) has not yet been legally recognised in Europe. AVHFS lacks a European definition and no pan-European competency-based endorsement exists. This paper reports the development of a competency framework by members of the European Association for Aviation Psychology (EAAP) and intendeduse in accreditation for AVPSY and AVHFS. It …
Resilient Strategies In Commercial Aviation, Michael Stewart, Bryan Matthews
Resilient Strategies In Commercial Aviation, Michael Stewart, Bryan Matthews
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
When we fly and nothing scary happens, is the system’s design affording this success? Not always — sometimes humans are the cause of success. This resilient performance is often overlooked. We explore two types of resilient performance strategies: countermeasures and modifications. countermeasures are behaviors triggered by variables anticipated to be challenging or problematic (i.e., pressures). To capture this, we look at examples of how a problem was avoided. For example, a country road may have a hairpin turn where accidents more frequently occur. With this pressure identified, we look at successful drivers for insights. Modifications are changes that are created …
Concept Of A Cognitive Agent Supporting Collaboration In Human Teams, Wolfgang Sachsenhauser, Axel Schulte
Concept Of A Cognitive Agent Supporting Collaboration In Human Teams, Wolfgang Sachsenhauser, Axel Schulte
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
This contribution aims at the support of human teamwork between crew members of next generation combat aircraft by means of a distributed and adaptive assistant system. In future combined air operations several aircraft, manned and unmanned, operate together to achieve a common mission objective. That requires a high degree of coordination amongst the pilots, each of them being highly charged with e.g., managing unmanned vehicles from their cockpits. Our approach is to develop a distributed assistant system that observes each pilot in their cockpits. By use of a task model, it shall create and update a shared representation of the …

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Classroom instruction, computer-based training, flight simulation, and aircraft are used to train pilots. New immersive technologies and associated learning methods are used to train military pilots and may have value in civilian pilot training. This paper describes a study to explore the efficacy of using Virtual Reality (VR) Head-mounted Displays (HMDs) to support the training of the emerging pilot workforce. Participants were ab-initio civilian pilot students enrolled in a collegiate aviation program. Participants learned commercial aircraft preflight tasks using one of three methods. The control group used a combination of traditional classroom lectures and simulator sessions; one experimental group used …
What Can We Learn From Resilient Pilot Behaviors? The Case Of Energy Management While Flying A Star, Randall J. Mumaw, Dorrit Billman, Barth Baron Jr.
What Can We Learn From Resilient Pilot Behaviors? The Case Of Energy Management While Flying A Star, Randall J. Mumaw, Dorrit Billman, Barth Baron Jr.
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Recently, there has been increased interest in documenting flightcrew behaviors that contribute to safe operations. Instead of only capturing errors, new efforts are attempting to understand how pilots manage complexity and variability in the operational environment to ensure a safe mission. This approach highlights pilot responses to events and conditions that fall outside typical TEM threats; e.g., revised ATC clearances. This approach presents a two-sided coin: characterize flightcrew resilience /or/ generate insights regarding complexity in the operational environment that is not adequately managed by current flight deck interface designs, procedures, and training. To capture operational complexity, we have been analyzing …
Personality Factors And Education Outcome In Swedish Military Pilot Education, Malcolm Sehlström, Markus Nyström,, Jessica Körning Ljungberg, Anna-Sara Claeson
Personality Factors And Education Outcome In Swedish Military Pilot Education, Malcolm Sehlström, Markus Nyström,, Jessica Körning Ljungberg, Anna-Sara Claeson
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Profiling pilot personality is a common effort within aviation. We examined whether there are personality-related differences in who passes or fails the Swedish military pilot education. Assessment records of 182 applicants, accepted to the education between the years of 2004 and 2020 were studied (Mean age 24, SD 4.2. 96% male, 4% female). Descriptive discriminant analysis (DDA) was used to explore which personality traits and suitability ratings might be related to education outcome. Analysis included suitability assessments by senior pilots and by a psychologist, a number of traits assessed by the same psychologist, as well as the Commander Trait Inventory …

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
This was a research effort focused on developing recommendations to improve the understanding and application of human factors (HF) by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) acquisition program personnel. Broadly speaking, the goal was to investigate methods to help ensure the successful integration of human factors over the lifecycle of the FAA acquisition process. Structured interviews were conducted with 24 individuals with relevant program management and HF experience from the FAA and industry. Relevant FAA resources (documents and websites) and past examples of products developed by individual acquisition programs were reviewed. Based on this research, 22 recommendations were made. Key recommendations along …
Pilots’ Eye Behavior And Electrodermal Activity During Flight, Gajapriya Tamilselvan, Stephen M. Belt
Pilots’ Eye Behavior And Electrodermal Activity During Flight, Gajapriya Tamilselvan, Stephen M. Belt
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
The purpose of this study was to investigate how a given flight task manifested in pilots’ eye behavior and electrodermal activity and how they changed over the course of an instrument flight session. This study implemented a quasi-experimental one-group time series design to identify attentional and emotional states of pilots. Pilots were emotionally aroused during flight segments like takeoff and climb, approach and landing-1, missed approach, and approach and landing-2. Pilots felt visually demanding during takeoff and climb, approach and landing-1, missed approach, en route-2, and approach and landing-2. Missed approach was the most visually taxing flight segment, where pilots …
Challenges And Opportunities Of Learning Aviation English By Chinese Pilots, Chi Hang Wong, Ion Juvina, Meredith Pitts, Steve Chung, Jennifer Roberts, Andrew H. Schneider
Challenges And Opportunities Of Learning Aviation English By Chinese Pilots, Chi Hang Wong, Ion Juvina, Meredith Pitts, Steve Chung, Jennifer Roberts, Andrew H. Schneider
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
We explored the perspectives of Chinese pilots, a rapidly expanding sector in commercial aviation, on how they learn and use Aviation English (AE). A focus group with ten Chinese aviation professionals and in-depth semi-structured interviews with three Chinese commercial pilots were conducted to investigate their views of AE’s pertinence from flight training to line operations. The findings indicate the reliance on rote learning in AE training and the importance of experiential learning for interacting with different AE varieties. The pilots highlighted increased workload when interacting with unfamiliar accents and country-specific phraseology; understanding written communication was also mentioned as a challenge. …
Experimental Evaluation Of Cloud-Based Synchronous Mult-Pilot Multiuav Mission Plan Generation In A Mum-T Environment, Siegfried Maier, Axel Schulte
Experimental Evaluation Of Cloud-Based Synchronous Mult-Pilot Multiuav Mission Plan Generation In A Mum-T Environment, Siegfried Maier, Axel Schulte
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
In this study, we compares two approaches for creating mission plans in mannedunmanned teams (MUM-T). In traditional military MUM-T air operations, one human pilot commands multiple UAVs in package-based planning. In situations where multiple teams are working together, it could be helpful to provide all human pilots with equal and simultaneous access to all available UAVs and remove hierarchical boundaries at the team level through a cloud-based approach. The experimental study involved 10 teams of 2 participants each to compare the two approaches. After each mission, participants completed a NASA-TLX questionnaire to assess their workload and rated their perceptions of …
A Comparison Of Virtual Reality And High-Fidelity Flight Training Devices For Ab Initio Pilot Training, Naomi Paul, Brad Moncion, Shi Cao
A Comparison Of Virtual Reality And High-Fidelity Flight Training Devices For Ab Initio Pilot Training, Naomi Paul, Brad Moncion, Shi Cao
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
High-fidelity flight training devices (FTDs) have value for ab initio pilot training, but their high cost is a major limitation. Researchers want to know if low-cost simulators, including virtual reality (VR), may be effective for some aspects of ab initio pilot training, supplementing FTDs. This work used a between-subjects experiment with 20 participants – all student pilots at the University of Waterloo with under 20 hours of flight experience – to analyze performance changes after training using either a FTD or VR simulator for procedural and aircraft handling tasks over three training sessions. Performance was assessed using instructor evaluations for …

Initial Testing Of The Uncrewed Aerial System Pilot Kit (Uasp-Kit) In Operational Settings, Lynne Martin, Lauren Roberts, Joey Mercer, Yasmin Arbab, Charles Walter, William Mccarty, Charles Sheehe Iii, David Fuller
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Pilots for small uncrewed aerial systems (sUAS) are at a disadvantage for building situation awareness of the remote airspace in which they are flying, simply because they are distant from their vehicles. A tool to provide increased air traffic situation awareness for an sUAS pilot is being developed. The UAS pilot kit, “UASP-kit,” is small and self-contained, with its chief capability being to collect and display Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast reports from local aircraft. UASP-kits were taken into the field, introduced to users during a training course, and then left with them for use throughout the summer fire season. sUAS pilots …
Comparison Of Delegation Methods For Task-Based Uav Guidance, Marius Dudek, Axel Schulte
Comparison Of Delegation Methods For Task-Based Uav Guidance, Marius Dudek, Axel Schulte
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
In this contribution we compare UAV delegation methods from a fighter-jet cockpit. Recent research approaches to UAV mission management have mainly been using touchscreen interactions and little research has systematically analyzed different input methods to delegate tasks. In this article, we present three UAV delegation methods that use touchscreen interactions, voice control, and a combination of eye-tracking and HOTAS buttons. The presented methods were integrated in a fighter-jet simulator and evaluated with ten participants. The performance of participants varied for different combinations of delegation method and task load. Touchscreen interaction was fastest on average, followed by voice interaction. The number …

Uas Voice Communications Intelligibility Testing, Alex Konkel
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operations are increasing rapidly. UAS would like to operate similarly to current aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS), including communicating with air traffic control and possibly each other. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is evaluating a potential voice communications system that would allow this to see if the system’s latency and voice intelligibility are sufficient to meet FAA requirements. This paper describes the results of the first phase of voice intelligibility testing. Participants completed two tests, a Message Completion Test developed by the Human Factors Branch and the Modified Rhyme Test, with the audio being …

Measuring The Lookout Behavior Of Student Pilots In A Virtual Reality Flight Simulator, Ivo V. Stuldreher, Erik Van Der Burg, Wietse D. Ledegang, Mark M. J. Houben, Eric L. Groen, Danny Van Der Horst, Erik A. M. Starmans, Guido Almekinders
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Learning adequate gaze behavior is essential in flight training. In this exploratory study we investigated the development of gaze behavior in flight training in a virtual reality (VR) flight simulator. Following standardized study material, fifteen participants without flying experience repeatedly practiced three basic flight maneuvers in a VR simulator of a small aircraft. During some runs, participants performed an additional N-back task to measure cognitive spare capacity. From the recorded gaze data we computed the percentage of time during which the gaze was directed outside the cockpit, i.e., the “Lookout”. This outside dwell ratio differed between flight maneuvers. A higher …
Learning About Routine Successful Pilot Techniques Using A Cued Retrospective Think-Aloud Task, Jon Holbrook, Chad Stephens, Lawrence J. Prinzel Iii, Sepehr Bastami, Daniel Kiggins
Learning About Routine Successful Pilot Techniques Using A Cued Retrospective Think-Aloud Task, Jon Holbrook, Chad Stephens, Lawrence J. Prinzel Iii, Sepehr Bastami, Daniel Kiggins
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Self-report can be a valuable method for collecting data about people’s goals and perceived motivations – data about aspects of crew thinking that are not otherwise readily observable. One of the challenges associated with collecting self-report data on routine successful performance, however, is that details may go unreported, be deemed unimportant, or may not be recalled. We report a study in which commercial airline flight crews participated in a video-cued retrospective think aloud after flying a high-fidelity simulated arrival into Charlotte airport. One day after flying the simulated arrival, crews were shown a video recording of their flight. The video …
Usability Shortcomings In Department Of Defense Funded Systems, Jerry Burpee
Usability Shortcomings In Department Of Defense Funded Systems, Jerry Burpee
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Government developed systems, in particular Department of Defense (DoD) systems experience usability shortcomings that are not seen as often with systems developed for public or commercial use. The factors discussed include different funding models, limited competition, usability requirements and specifications, usability metrics, utilization of specialized users, lack of usability specialists, and non-revenue generation. By understanding and addressing these shortcomings, the usability in DoD developed systems can be improved to save the tax-payer money, minimize project and system risks, and improve user acceptance and satisfaction.

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
As electric vertical takeoff and landing air taxis make their way to urban airspace operations within the United States National Airspace System, many research efforts are underway to identify and understand pertinent issues needed to support the influx of new, passenger-carrying, air vehicles over highly dense, urban communities. The primary focus of this research effort was to gather subjective data from subject matter experts concerning current-day airspace operations to identify potential gaps and improvements needed to support and sustain near-term UAM operations. These potential gaps and improvements will form the foundation for the development of initial information exchange requirements between …
How Aviation Students Used An Escape Room To Assess Sa From A Collaborative And Individual Approach, Andrew R. Dattel, Hui Wang, Corey Spitz, Miles Moyer, Kyhan Gulsen
How Aviation Students Used An Escape Room To Assess Sa From A Collaborative And Individual Approach, Andrew R. Dattel, Hui Wang, Corey Spitz, Miles Moyer, Kyhan Gulsen
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
A class on situation awareness (SA), taught at an aeronautical university, has been a favorite graduate course for the past 7 years. One requirement for the course is to conduct a non-aviation related SA class project. The most recent class assessed how collaborative efforts compared to individual efforts affect SA at an escape room. The team of five participants instructed to solve puzzles individually showed significantly better SA than the team of five participants instructed to solve the puzzles collaboratively. The collaborative group spent more time conversing with each other about solving the puzzles than those instructed to work individually. …
Airport Personnel Perceptions Of Airport Environmental Programs, Navya Nikhita Agasam, Deborah S. Carstens
Airport Personnel Perceptions Of Airport Environmental Programs, Navya Nikhita Agasam, Deborah S. Carstens
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Aviation is a rapidly growing industry that is believed to account for 25% of the carbon footprint by 2050 (Graver et al., 2019, as cited in Alfaro, V.N. & Chankov, S., 2022). Countries are making environmentally friendly changes to save the earth. Humans are the think tanks of any process. Airport personnel should consider implementing these changes. By considering the complex and dynamic nature of human beings, this study uses a survey approach to understand the attitudes and behavior of airport personnel in the transition towards airport environmental programs. The study focuses on factors influencing human behavior and their willingness …
Development Of A Test Scenario To Assess Kinetosis Risk In Military Flight Training, Simone Vera Löhlein, Mara Kaufeld, Andreas Seefried, Axel Schulte
Development Of A Test Scenario To Assess Kinetosis Risk In Military Flight Training, Simone Vera Löhlein, Mara Kaufeld, Andreas Seefried, Axel Schulte
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
In order to develop a comprehensive test scenario to detect the risk of early motion induced kinetosis, in aviation more commonly known as airsickness (AS), we conducted a detailed survey on the experiences of jet-aircraft student pilots, flight instructors, and flight physicians to discover AS-related flight maneuvers and other non-motion-induced triggers. Subsequently, we use these findings to design test scenarios that simulate the relevant stimuli in a controlled laboratory setting. Additionally, we propose how gaze tracking can be used to get further information about the pilot’s behaviour. For instance, it gives information about head-down times related to secondary tasks and …
Psychophysiological Research Methods To Assess Airline Flight Crew Resilient Performance In High-Fidelity Flight Simulation Scenarios, Chad L. Stephens, Tyler D. Fettrow, Lawrence J. Prinzel Iii, Jon B. Holbrook, Kathryn M. Ballard
Psychophysiological Research Methods To Assess Airline Flight Crew Resilient Performance In High-Fidelity Flight Simulation Scenarios, Chad L. Stephens, Tyler D. Fettrow, Lawrence J. Prinzel Iii, Jon B. Holbrook, Kathryn M. Ballard
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
New concepts in aviation system safety thinking have emerged to consider not only what may go wrong, but also what can be learned when things go right. This approach forms a more comprehensive approach to system safety thinking. A need exists for methods to enable a better understanding of human contributions to aviation safety and how they may inform Safety Management Systems (SMS). A high-fidelity 737-800 simulation study was conducted to study how current type-rated commercial airline flight crews anticipate, monitor, respond to, and learn from expected and unexpected disturbances during line operations. A number of dependent measures were collected …
Examining The Relationship Between Workload And Resilient Performance In Airline Flight Crews, Michael Stewart, Kathryn M. Ballard, Chad L. Stephens, Lawrence J. Prinzel Iii, Jon B. Holbrook, Tyler D. Fettrow, Daniel J. Kiggins
Examining The Relationship Between Workload And Resilient Performance In Airline Flight Crews, Michael Stewart, Kathryn M. Ballard, Chad L. Stephens, Lawrence J. Prinzel Iii, Jon B. Holbrook, Tyler D. Fettrow, Daniel J. Kiggins
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Workload has long been associated with human performance in aviation. High workload is typically viewed as a system design problem. The aim of this work was to find observable behaviors that guard cognitive resource margins; thus, improve handling of perturbations that arise. Twelve commercial airline flight crews participated in an experiment at NASA Langley Research Center. We explored self-reported workload data (NASA Task Load Index) after completing flight simulation scenarios to see how different individuals, using the same technologies, cope with challenging situations. A trained observer (from the same airline as the study participants) assessed performance. We differentiated a lower …
Analyses Of The Boeing 737max Accidents: Formal Models And Psychological Perspectives, Immanuel Barshi, Asaf Degani, Robert Mauro, Randal J. Mumaw
Analyses Of The Boeing 737max Accidents: Formal Models And Psychological Perspectives, Immanuel Barshi, Asaf Degani, Robert Mauro, Randal J. Mumaw
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Two fatal accidents involving the B737MAX resulted from the flight crews’ inability to overcome the effects of the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS). MCAS was designed to mimic the control column feel pressure and pitching behavior of the B737NG, which was the certification basis for the B737MAX. We briefly describe the potential role of formally modeling different perspectives during system design, and how such modeling can reveal gaps and conflicts between perspectives. We also discuss some of the relevant human factors issues involved in these accidents and how the aircraft’s behavior may have affected the pilots’ psychological states. Implications for …
A Natural Language Processing Model For Analyzing Aviation Safety Event Reports: A Subset Of Results, R. Jordan Hinson, Edward Bynum, Amelia Kinsella, Katherine Berry, Michael Sawyer
A Natural Language Processing Model For Analyzing Aviation Safety Event Reports: A Subset Of Results, R. Jordan Hinson, Edward Bynum, Amelia Kinsella, Katherine Berry, Michael Sawyer
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
Many civil aviation authorities, operators, and manufacturers utilize voluntary safety reporting programs (VSRPs) to understand risk within their operations. Insights from these first-hand accounts can lead to significant safety and efficiency improvements. Subject matter experts often read and analyze these reports by labeling factors of interest to derive safety insights. The resources required for this analysis can limit the insights an organization can obtain from their VSRP data. A novel machine learning model was developed and trained on over 50,000 rows of manually labeled aviation VSRP data. This model uses machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) to automate the …
Reconstruction Of Crew’S Behaviours Using Cockpit Images And The Suggestion Of The Deviation From Standard Procedure, Kenji Usami, Hiroka Tsuda, Kohei Funabiki
Reconstruction Of Crew’S Behaviours Using Cockpit Images And The Suggestion Of The Deviation From Standard Procedure, Kenji Usami, Hiroka Tsuda, Kohei Funabiki
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
The images from the cameras installed in the cockpit are useful for Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA), the investigation of an inccident and the validation the design of the cockpit and a pilot's procedure through the certification process of the aircraft. JAXA has developed a new tool for the reconstruction of crew's behaviour using the images recorded by the cameras in the cockpit under the machine learning. This paper reports that the accuracy of the estimation of the behaviour is improved with a novel function.
Concept Of A Goal And Plan Recognition System For Adaptive Pilot Assistance In Helicopter Operations, Dominik Künzel, Axel Schulte
Concept Of A Goal And Plan Recognition System For Adaptive Pilot Assistance In Helicopter Operations, Dominik Künzel, Axel Schulte
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023
This article presents a first concept of a pilot assistant system that adapts its support to the current intent of the pilot during Manned-Unmanned-Teaming (MUM-T) helicopter missions. Assistant systems often depend on a pre-defined plan. Due to unpredicted situational changes, the plan can deteriorate, and the system is not able to assist anymore. We envisage a system design that will infer the pilot’s intent by using a domain theory approach (plan recognition as planning). To compose a possible plan, a sequence of decisions about the relevant actions is necessary. Thus, we formulate sequential planning problems using Partially Observable Markov Decision …
