Name the five hazardous attitudes.

• A. Antiauthority, Impulsivity, Invulnerability, Macho, Resignation.
• B. Authority, Caution, Fear, Pride, Laziness.
• C. Aggression, Overconfidence, Laziness, Pessimism, Nervousness.
• D. Respect, Discipline, Confidence, Courage, Teamwork.

Answer: (A)

In aviation safety, pilots learn that certain attitudes can cloud judgment and lead to risky choices. The five hazardous attitudes are anti-authority, impulsivity, invulnerability, macho, and resignation. Antiauthority means disregarding rules or procedures because you think you don’t have to follow them. Impulsivity is acting before thinking, rushing through steps or decisions. Invulnerability is the belief that “bad things won’t happen to me,” which can make you take unnecessary risks. Macho is the impulse to prove yourself by pushing through danger or taking unnecessary risks to show you’re capable. Resignation is feeling that nothing you do will matter, leading to inaction or giving up. This set is the standard framework used in aviation training to help pilots recognize and counter these thinking flaws. Other lists may mix in terms that describe positive traits or different negatives—like authority, caution, fear, pride, laziness, aggression, or overconfidence—or emphasize non-hazardous emotions, so they don’t capture the same five patterns the training targets.
