Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess both fear of flying and positive emotions regarding air travel. A sample of 270 participants recruited at the local airport and from a university campus completed a questionnaire measuring fear of flying (Flight Anxiety Situations Questionnaire) as well as positive emotions toward flying. Hierarchical regression analyses were used to examine a model for predicting both fear of flying and positive emotions regarding air travel. Fear of flying was predicted by sex, recent flying experience, and stress/worry regarding check-in and security checks. Positive emotions were unrelated to demographic variables and flying experience, but were predicted by satisfaction with check-in and security checks.
