Abstract
Past research has demonstrated individuals’ lack the ability to accurately self-assess their competencies in comparison to external assessments (Davis et al., 2006). Other research has explored various factors that contribute to individuals being able to adequately predict their performance on a task, such as self-concept, prior task experience, and actual task performance (Davis, Fedor, Parsons, & Herold, 2000). The aim of this research is to examine the impact of participation in a flight operations center simulation on individuals’ self-perceptions of their ability to make decisions under stress. Prior to and after participating in three simulations, where teams of senior aerospace students work together to operate a virtual airline, the students will be administered a scale that assesses self-perceptions of decision making under stress. The goal of this project is to examine how feedback on performance, stress, and personal fear of invalidity predict change in self-assessments of decision making under stress after being placed in a high-fidelity simulation experience. This experience may provide individuals with a more accurate picture of their ability to make decisions under stress, which could align future self-assessments and objective measures of performance, as well as aid in designing and using high-fidelity training to prepare individuals for success upon entering the workforce.

Self-assessments of Decision Making Under Stress in a Flight Operations Center Simulation
