Successful participation in the HFES conference in Turin

From April 20-22, 2022, the conference of the "Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, Europe Chapter" (HFES) was held in presence in Turin.

This year's theme is "Enhancing Safety Critical Performance." This year, Prof. Vera Hagemann, Michèle Rieth, and Lara Watermann have participated with a total of five contributions in Italy:

The oral presentations were:

  • Adaptable automation and its effect on perceived competence and autonomy (Rieth, Onnasch & Hagemann)
  • Development of Teamwork Processes, Collective Orientation and Stress during a simulated Mars Mission in the Crew and Support Teams (Hagemann, Watermann & Heinicke)
  • Non-technical skills in firefighting – development, implementation, and evaluation of a team training for enhancing safety critical performance (Heinemann, Aust, Holtz, Peifer & Hagemann)

The poster contributions were:

  • Can autonomous agents lead to human-autonomy teaming? – A view into the field and implications for research and practice (Rieth & Hagemann)
  • Risky decision making due to goal conflicts in firefighting – debriefing as a countermeasure to enhance safety behaviour (Hagemann, Heinemann, Aust, Holtz & Peifer)

The Department of Business Psychology & Human Resources was pleased to have seen many colleagues in person again after a long time. The contributions we presented met with a good response and the contributions from colleagues were also very informative.
