A pilot facing worsening weather shrugs, 'What's the use? Whatever happens will happen.' Which hazardous attitude is this, and what counters it?
- A.Anti-authority; follow the rules
- B.Resignation; the antidote is recognizing 'I am not helpless' and that the pilot's actions do make a difference
- C.Macho; taking risks is foolish
Correct answer
B. Resignation; the antidote is recognizing 'I am not helpless' and that the pilot's actions do make a difference
Why
Resignation gives up influence over the outcome, so the pilot stops making the very decisions that could help. Its antidote restores agency: the pilot is not helpless and choices still matter.
