title: Cockpit management attitudes.
abstract: Distinctions are drawn between personality traits and attitudes.  The stability of the personality and the malleability of attitudes are stressed.  These concepts are related to pilot performance, especially in the areas of crew coordination and cockpit resource management.  Airline pilots were administered a Cockpit Management Attitudes questionnaire; empirical data from that survey are reported and implications of the data for training in crew coordination are discussed.
