Question 72

Airport boarding gate delay study.

When a commercial flight is delayed at the boarding gate, passengers exhibit a variety of coping behaviours. Some passengers appear highly anxious, pacing back and forth or repeatedly questioning gate staff, while others remain calm, reading, working on laptops, or sleeping. Researchers want to use a naturalistic observation method to investigate these coping strategies and find out if certain behaviours are more common than others among passengers experiencing flight delays.

Write an appropriate research aim for this study.
