The study was designed to investigate differential accident liability among naval flight personnel. A number of studies in industry have indicated that in any given work group some individuals contribute disproportionately to the total number of accidents. This study evaluated one means of identifying such individuals in aviation. In addition, the following variables were investigated in terms of their relationship to a pilot's placement on continua of safeness and skill as a pilot: (1) attitudes toward various aspects of naval flying, (2) subjective evaluations of flight safety procedures and, (3) the galvanic skin response of a pilot recorded as he views statements concerning these same items of flight safety procedure. Measures of attitudes toward aspects of naval aviation; subjective evaluations of flight safety procedures; and measures of galvanic skin responses accompanying the viewing of items of flight safety procedure are demonstrated to be effective predictors of both the flight safety and skill criteria.
