Study Objectives: The study explores how sleep, sleep-related practices, and behaviors, in addition to various demographic and occupational characteristics, are related to overall mood of US Navy sailors when they are underway.
Methods: Longitudinal assessment of US Navy sailors performing their underway duties ( = 873, 79.2% males, median age 25 years).
Objective: To determine whether perceived time progression (PTP) moderates participants' negative reactions to vigilance tasks.
Background: Vigilance tasks are rated by participants to be unenjoyable and as having high levels of workload and stress. Based on the adage, "You are having fun when time flies," we tested the possibility that accelerating PTP might reduce these negative experiences.
Objective: This study investigated whether stress training introduced during the acquisition of simulator-based flight skills enhances pilot performance during subsequent stressful flight operations in an actual aircraft.
Background: Despite knowledge that preconditions to aircraft accidents can be strongly influenced by pilot stress, little is known about the effectiveness of stress training and how it transfers to operational flight settings.
Method: For this study, 30 participants with no flying experience were assigned at random to a stress-trained treatment group or a control group.
