MARIAL CENTER COLLOQUIUM Stress, Social Support, and the Health of Commercial Aircrews Wednesday, October 20, 4:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m. Dr. Bobbie Sullivan is the principal investigator for the "Aircrew Stress Study," an ongoing multinational research project focusing on the effects of occupational and psychosocial stress on the health and well-being of professional pilots, flight attendants, and aviation ground personnel. Using both quantitative and qualitative measures, the study has identified both family and non-family sources of social support and interpersonal stress, and evidence for their role in mediating the effects of occupational stress on the health and well-being of the study's participants. These findings will be discussed in terms of their demographic and occupational correlates, highlighting similarities and differences between pilots and flight attendants, and among those who work in the various sectors of commercial aviation. An independent research psychologist based in Hawaii, Dr. Sullivan earned her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Hawaii, where she was supported by an East-West Center Graduate Degree Fellowship.
