Niektóre aspekty psychologii lotnictwa w świetle najnowszych badań

Abstract

The article describes the most interesting and controversial issues in contemporary aviation psychology. The author focuses on such problems as anticipation accuracy in Air Traffic Control; attitudes toward unsafe acts and fear of loss of face in aviation pilots; attitudes in the situation of simulated flight (,,outside-in" versus ,,inside-out” attitude display) and the effect of levels of altitude on cognitive performance. The peculiar environment in which pilots operate and psychological functioning of pilots themselves deserves further consideration and multiple analyses.
