|May 1, 1986

Summary

Researchers developed a new 15-item self-reported performance measure for pilots in psychosocial stress studies. This inventory, weighted for item contribution, offers a novel method for assessing performance when direct measurement is not feasible.

Psychometric Measurement

Background:

Assessing pilot performance is crucial in studies of psychosocial stress.
Direct performance measurement can be impractical or impossible in certain research contexts.
Existing self-reported measures were insufficient for the study's specific needs.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a reliable self-reported performance measure for pilots.
To provide a tool for quantifying pilot performance within psychosocial stress research.
To offer a construction methodology applicable to similar performance assessment tools.

Main Methods:

A 15-item inventory was created by the study authors.
Each item was weighted based on its perceived contribution to overall performance.
The final performance score is the summation of these weighted items.

Main Results:

A novel 15-item self-reported performance inventory was successfully developed.
The measure provides a quantitative assessment of pilot performance.
The construction methodology is adaptable for other performance-related assessments.

Conclusions:

The developed self-reported performance measure is a viable tool for research contexts where direct assessment is limited.
The methods used in constructing this inventory can be generalized to create similar performance measures for various applications.
This study contributes a practical solution for measuring pilot performance under psychosocial stress.
