Abstract:Aviation occupations often require the performance of tasks under stressful conditions. Attempts to relate differences among individuals in performance under stress to personality variables have generally not been successful. Based upon responses to a fear of shock item in an attitude questionnaire describing numerous stressful situations, subjects were classified as high fear of shock or low fear of shock types.
Results indicate significant differences between groups in both sets of measures and support the hypothesis that attitude questionnaires may be used to predict performance and bodily responses to specific stress situations.
