The psychological and physiological features of 20 aircrew consecutively referred for treatment of anxiety symptoms when flying were compared with a matched control group of uncomplaining aircrew. There were no significant differences between the two groups on psychometric tests of personality, though there were differences in skin conductance; the phobics had a higher rate of spontaneous fluctuation, and habituated less to a repeated auditory tone. More of the phobic group worried about their wives and acknowledged childhood and other adulthood phobias; more had a family history of an episode perhaps best described as flying trauma. Many were on an overseas posting when symptoms presented. These few features could correctly classify 85 per cent of the subjects into the phobic or control group. This type of phobic aircrew index' now requires to be validated prospectively for its predictive value.
将连续因飞行时焦虑症状前来接受治疗的20名机组人员的心理和生理特征，与一组无抱怨的匹配机组人员对照组进行了比较。两组在人格心理测试方面没有显著差异，不过在皮肤电传导方面存在差异；恐惧症患者的自发波动发生率更高，对重复的听觉音调的习惯化程度更低。更多的恐惧症患者担心自己的妻子，并承认有童年及其他成年期恐惧症；更多人有家族病史，其经历或许可最好地描述为飞行创伤。许多人在出现症状时正在海外任职。这几个特征能够将85%的受试者正确地分为恐惧症组或对照组。现在需要对这种“恐惧症机组人员指数”的预测价值进行前瞻性验证。
