The Effects of an Induced Negative Mood State on Ground- Based Learning in Student Pilots

<p>The United States Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration's <em>Aviation Instructors Handbook </em>(D.O.T.) (1999) emphasizes that aviation students must maintain a healthy and positive state of mind in order to succeed at learning. Factors such as worry, lack of interest, physical discomfort, and anxiety are all listed as obstacles to a student's ability to learn successfully during flight instruction. In addition, numerous studies support the idea that a negative mood state will have a detrimental effect on learning. This study attempts to investigate the effects of an induced negative mood state on ground- based learning in student pilots.</p>
