Human-Machine Articulation Work: Functional Dependency Dialogue For Human-Machine Teaming, Clayton D. Rothwell, Valerie L. Shalin Jan 2017

Human-Machine Articulation Work: Functional Dependency Dialogue For Human-Machine Teaming, Clayton D. Rothwell, Valerie L. Shalin

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

Articulation work is an overlooked requirement for successful human-machine teams. Articulation work captures the often hidden task management activities human-human teams regularly perform in response to functional dependencies amongst team members. While human-human teams demonstrate articulation work through language, human-machine teams currently do not. Aviation is replete with examples, from the superficially mundane adaptation inherent in the turnaround of commercial aircraft to the life-threatening misunderstanding in Turkish Airlines Flight 1951 and Asiana Flight 214. Current research in human-machine language-mediated interaction has failed to study tasks that are sufficiently complicated to require articulation work, resulting in a misleading optimism about the …

Status Of Faa Air Traffic Control Fatigue Interventions 2013-2016, Darendia Mccauley

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has long been concerned with the impact of fatigue in Air Traffic Operations. Fatigue has been cited as a factor in operational incidents. The shift work and quick turn-around shifts contribute to this problem. In conjunction with the collective bargaining agreement, FAA management and the National Air Traffic Association (NATCA) agreed to jointly develop a series of interventions designed to mitigate some of the aspects of fatigue in the controller workforce. This resulted in a Fatigue Group comprised of FAA management, NATCA representatives, and fatigue scientists. Following 15 work-intensive meetings, the Fatigue Risk Management Group …

How Automation May Transform The Ways In Which Crew Manage Peak Workload And Incapacitation, Nick Mcdonald, Alison Kay, Rabea Morrison, Margaret Ryan Jan 2017

How Automation May Transform The Ways In Which Crew Manage Peak Workload And Incapacitation, Nick Mcdonald, Alison Kay, Rabea Morrison, Margaret Ryan

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

A ‘Crew Manage the Operation’ concept was developed as a unifying framework to analysethe combined role of diverse technologies in supporting the management of peak workload and incapacitation. Multiple-crew configurations meanthat many of the same technologies are supporting quite contrasting instantiation of crew roles. While Proactive and Immediate modes support the independence of the crew in their cockpit, both reactive modes of workload management pose questions about the information flow between the cockpit and ground control, and in turn about the level of support or, in the final mode, effective interventionthat could be provided from the ground. These issues are …

Innovative Airport Visual Aids To Enhance Situational Awareness And Flight Training For General Aviation, Wesley Major, Sarah Hubbard Jan 2017

Innovative Airport Visual Aids To Enhance Situational Awareness And Flight Training For General Aviation, Wesley Major, Sarah Hubbard

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

Runway incursionsare a threat to runway safety andhave been increasing in recent years. Incursions are categorized into three categories, pilot deviations (PD), operational incidents (OI), and vehicle pedestrian deviations (VPD). At general aviation airports, PDs are the most prevalent runway incursion type. Inadequate situational awareness is one of the human factors associated with PDs. Student pilots,pilots flying to an unfamiliar airport, ground operations personnel, and emergencyplanning and emergency responders can benefit from the use of visual aids that extend beyond an airport diagram or static Google Earth imagery. More robust visual aids can potentially increase situational awareness and reduce the …

Effects Of Radar Side Conflict Probe Functionality On Atc Conflict Detection Performance And Efficiency, Anthony J. Masalonis, Ben Willems, Thomas Fincannon Jan 2017

Effects Of Radar Side Conflict Probe Functionality On Atc Conflict Detection Performance And Efficiency, Anthony J. Masalonis, Ben Willems, Thomas Fincannon

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2017

We investigated integrating Conflict Probe (CP) on air traffic controllers’ Radar Side (R-Side) displays. Eight controllers worked realistic, high-trafficsimulation scenarios alone, using both R-Side and Radar Associate Side (RA-Side) displays. We manipulated CP presence on the R-Side— like today,italways appeared on the RA-Side—and the presence of yellow alerts for near-conflicts. We used established controller performance and workload metrics, plus novel operational analyses not used in past studies. R-Side CP had few workload effects, but increased voice communications when we included yellow alerts. It improved the efficiency of correcting conflict-inducing clearances, and seemed to facilitate proactive control to avertmore urgent alerts. …

The Mobius Strip Of Total Health: Manipulation Of Thinking Prior To Exercise Activity, Joseph A. Schenk Jan 2017

The Mobius Strip Of Total Health: Manipulation Of Thinking Prior To Exercise Activity, Joseph A. Schenk

Honors College Theses

Research shows mental and physical health are interdependent. We sought to test various methods of external motivation to effect change in the physical performance and mental health of students enrolled in walking classes. We hypothesized that if there was a correlation between physical exercise and mental health and we could motivate individuals to exercise, then that motivation would in turn result in better mental health. Participants, 19 in the pilot and 320 in the main study, were randomly assigned into three groups to receive messages prior to conducting physical activity: those who received neutral messages about exercise, those who received …

Developmental Trajectories Of Alcohol Use And Alcohol Use Disorder, Elizabeth C. Long Jan 2017

Developmental Trajectories Of Alcohol Use And Alcohol Use Disorder, Elizabeth C. Long

Theses and Dissertations

Alcohol use (AU) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) are leading causes of morbidity, premature death, and economic burden. They are also associated with high levels of disability and many other negative outcomes. Twin and family studies have consistently shown that AU and AUD are complex traits influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Although much has been learned about the genetic and environmental etiology of AU and AUD, significant gaps remain. These include the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the roles of risk and protective factors, and the nature of developmental trajectories underpinning the progression from AU to …

Recovery-Oriented Care And Inpatient Psychiatric Nursing Practice, Julia M. Mclaughlin Dec 2016

Recovery-Oriented Care And Inpatient Psychiatric Nursing Practice, Julia M. Mclaughlin

Master's Projects and Capstones

For the past 15 years, major organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and U.S. federal government have been committed to shifting mental health services from the medical model of care to the recovery-oriented model of care (Moller & McLoughlin, 2013). However, not all identified recovery-oriented practices have been fully implemented throughout mental health services, specifically in acute care settings. In 2015, San Mateo Medical Center’s acute psychiatric nursing staff completed McLoughlin’s (2005) Recovery Self-Assessment- Registered Nurse (RSA-RN). Data showed that 34% of nursing staff did not believe that the nurses …

Observational Assessment Of Empathy In Parent-Child Verbal Exchanges And Their Influence On Child Behavior, Patty Carambot Sep 2016

Observational Assessment Of Empathy In Parent-Child Verbal Exchanges And Their Influence On Child Behavior, Patty Carambot

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Empathy, the ability to both experientially share in and understand others’ thoughts, behaviors, and feelings, is vital for human adaptation. Deficits in empathy development have implications across the lifespan for the development of prosocial behavior, social functioning, mental health disorders, and risk for antisocial behavior (e.g., Guajardo, Snyder, & Petersen, 2009; Moreno, Klute & Robinson, 2008). In light of these societal and individual burdens, it is imperative to foster and strengthen the development of this ability early in life to prevent or ameliorate such negative outcomes. This type of prevention can take a variety of forms, but parent and child …

Gestational Hormone Profiles Predict Human Maternal Behavior At 1-Year Postpartum, Laura M. Glynn, Elyssia Poggi Davis, Curt A. Sandman, Wendy A. Goldberg

Psychology Faculty Articles and Research

In many non-human species, including primates, gestational reproductive hormones play an essential role in the onset of maternal motivation and behaviors. We investigated the associations between prepartum estradiol and progesterone and maternal behavior at 1-year postpartum in 177 women. Blood was obtained at five gestational time points and an index of quality of maternal care was determined using a well-validated mother-child interaction protocol. Women who exhibited higher quality maternal care at 1-year postpartum were characterized by unique gestational profiles of estradiol, progesterone and the estrogen to progesterone ratio; specifically by slower accelerations and levels of these hormone trajectories beginning in …

Reflection, Interrupted: Material Mirror Work In The Confessio Amantis, Jenny Boyar Jun 2016

Reflection, Interrupted: Material Mirror Work In The Confessio Amantis, Jenny Boyar

Accessus

The Confessio Amantis concludes with a revelatory scene in which Venus holds up a mirror to Amans, allowing him to recognize John Gower the poet— a moment that is often read as a mimetic and healing counterpoint to the Confessio’s sickness and self-questioning. My intention in this paper is to very slightly modify certain aspects of this narrative, to consider how the materiality of the mirror can inform its metaphoric deployments in the Confessio. I organize my discussion around two seemingly contrasting moments in the poem in which the self is seen and in different ways recognized through …
