Supervisor experience and cybersecurity response in aviation organizations using a two-wave exploratory design.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
As cybersecurity threats continue to intensify across safety-critical industries, the aviation sector faces unique challenges due to its high digital dependency and human-centered operational environments. This study investigates how aviation supervisors in Türkiye perceive and respond to cybersecurity incidents involving employees, focusing on the psychological dimensions of leadership under pressure. Using a two-wave mixed-method design, data were collected from 300 supervisors through structured surveys and open-ended reflections on recent cybersecurity-related incidents. Thematic analysis identified common incident types such as phishing, password negligence, and unauthorized device use, along with eight distinct supervisory response strategies. Supervisors rated their actions on stressfulness and effectiveness, and K-means cluster analysis revealed three psychological response profiles. Multinomial logistic regression showed that psychological distress and time pressure were significant predictors of unfavorable experiences, while organizational cybersecurity support reduced the likelihood of high stress and low perceived effectiveness. These findings contribute to psychosocial risk and critical incident theory by highlighting cybersecurity incidents as emotionally significant events and underscore the need for supervisor training that integrates emotional resilience and cyber preparedness.
