Increased risk of multi-crew operations: examining the effect of group polarisation on perceived invulnerability in general aviation pilots
Year: 2010
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: According to the theory of group polarisation, perceived invulnerability could \nbe greater in multi-crew operations than for single pilots. The purpose of this study was to \nmeasure the level of perceived invulnerability among general aviation pilots in New \nZealand and to examine whether the level of perceived invulnerability was influenced by \nthe presence of other pilots. Whilst it is of some concern that the majority of the pilots \nexhibited perceived invulnerability, no evidence was found to suggest that the level of \nperceived invulnerability is affected by a group polarisation effect, although further \nreplication of this study is recommended.
