“…As demonstrated by Cadinu et al (2006), people with internal locus of control may be at a lower risk of choking when performing under threat. Recent research shows that the locus of control in pilots tends to shift from external to internal with experience (Dave et al, 2019). Both those trends are supported by the current study, where interviewees see choking as more likely to affect less experienced pilots, but also express increased confidence and sense of control over their performance compared to earlier stages of their career, particularly in simulator performance (Taylor et al, 2007).…”

Abstract. This study uses a phenomenological approach to explore the experience of choking (underperformance) among commercial pilots. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight pilots, including three examiners (as observers of choking). Findings revealed three superordinate themes: choking under pressure, short-term consequences of choking, and long-term consequences of choking. Collectively, choking was found to be a traumatic event with negative short-term consequences and a potential to lead to constructive long-term outcomes. Practical implications of the findings are discussed, suggesting ways to optimize pilots’ performance through focusing more on psychoeducation and emotional support of employees after choking.

The Psychology of Coronavirus Behavioral Health Mindset, Vaccination Receptivity, Customer Orientation and Community Public Service

et al. 2022

Three studies were conducted to explore the psychological determinants of COVID-deterrent behaviors. In Study 1, using data collected and analyzed both before and after the release of COVID-19 vaccines, mask-wearing, other preventative behaviors like social distancing, and vaccination intentions were positively related to assessments of the Coronavirus Behavioral Health Mindset (CVBHM); belief in the credibility of science; progressive political orientation; less use of repressive and more use of sensitization coping; and the attribution of COVID-19 safety to effort rather than ability, powerful forces, fate, or luck. In Study 2, favorable COVID-19 vaccination intentions were related to greater willingness to work, lower emotional distress, and greater customer experience mindset. Study 3 examined the personality and motives of individuals who volunteered to help deliver COVID-19 inoculations to the local community. The vaccine-giving volunteers, especially those with prosocial motives, had high CVBHM scores, belief in the credibility of science, low use of repressive coping, greater attribution of COVID-19 protection to effort, low likelihood of voting conservative, were older, and had more education than others. The majority of public health volunteers expressed prosocial motives to help people or join a cause (60.7%), but many (39.3%) expressed the personal motives of getting the COVID-19 vaccination for themselves, conveying a public image of compassion, or structuring time. Based on the three research studies, a COVID-19 Mindset Hierarchy model is proposed to integrate the results.

The Relationship between Dispositional Affect and Traffic Locus of Control in Driving

The locus of control and dispositional affect of drivers has been claimed to influence driver behaviors. The positive affect and internal locus of control were usually claimed to be related to safety behaviors, whereas negative affect and external locus of control were shown as related to risky behaviors. To investigate the locus of control in the traffic context, multidimensional traffic locus of control (T-LOC) was developed with four dimensions; self, other drivers, vehicle/environment, and fate. In the current study, these four dimensions were used to investigate traffic locus of control. Even though traffic locus of control and affect factors are widely referred to as related to driver behaviors, their relationship has not been investigated. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between drivers' traffic locus of control and dispositional affect. The results showed that positive affect was related to attributing to other drivers and fate rather than their behaviors. On the other hand, negative affect led drivers to attribute causes of accidents to their behavior. The implications of the results, the limitations of the study, and the future directions were discussed.
