Pitfalls of Ability Research in Aviation Psychology

摘要

Ability research in aviation psychology can be fraught with pitfalls that lead to inappropriate conclusions. We identify several issues that lead to potential misinterpretation of results and suggest corrective solutions. These issues include lack of construct validity of the measures, misinterpretation of correlations and regression weights, lack of statistical power, failure to estimate cross validation effects, and misinterpretation of factor analytic results.
