A3 Safety, uncertainty and startle

Why read this for flight training?

Tests whether startle and surprise questionnaires measure distinct constructs in flight scenarios. Useful for choosing measures before evaluating an intervention.

How to interpret the evidence

Repeated scenario observations from 26 pilots are not independent pilots; this and related studies may share participants.

Screening basis: Abstract screened. This annotation identifies relevance and limits; it does not replace appraisal of the original methods and findings.
