Journal Title: The Polish Journal of Aviation Medicine, Bioengineering and Psychology - Year 2013, Vol 19, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction. The theoretical basis for the study was the Regulative Theory of Temperament as developed by J. Strelau. The goal of the study was to characterize the temperament of the students of the Polish Air Force Academy in Dęblin (PAFA) as compared to the students of other technical universities. Methods. The study group consisted of the students of PAFA (n=23), aged 20 to 23 years, while the control group consisted of the students of civilian technical universities (n=22) aged 19-24 years. The tool used to assess the temperament was the Formal Characteristics of Behavior - Temperament Questionnaire developed by Jan Strelau and Bogdan Zawadzki. Results. Studies revealed that the students of PAFA were characterized by different temperamental structure compared to students of other technical universities. Conclusions. The temperamental structure of officer cadets is correlated with their resistance to stress, which may be due to the aptness of the process of selection of pilot candidates.
