Hello, I'm new to the forum, which was recommended by a fellow aviation family.
I'm an aviation psychologist and an aviation spouse.
(Admin, please advise if this inquiry is not allowed on this forum, or if there is another location for this topic).

My U Maine lab is conducting two large scale flight deck communication studies this year, including this study: "Imagine you're the FO: How would you respond?" exploring how Part 141 and Part 61 students might respond to a hypothetical flight as a new FO at a regional airline.
The scenario is taken from actual events.

1) We're seeking students who have completed their PPL, and are enrolled, or have completed, their first Commercial Course.
2) After answering 3 situational (flight decision) questions, there are a follow up questions about personality, social and workplace beliefs, demographics (location, training, age, etc.). It takes about 5 minutes, is anonymous, and includes no questions about mental health.
3) The study's findings, with no identifying information of any participant, will be presented at an Aviation Conference in the coming academic year.
We will also post a follow-up summary of our findings on this forum subthread of JetCareers.
Thank you in advance for considering the study, or suggestions for reaching other participants.
