• Abstract:

  Aviation Psychology is an area of activity that counts on the presence of many psychologists, although it is not so widespread within the category and is not yet considered a specialty. This research is characterized as a bibliographical research, with the objective of identifying what we are producing about Aviation Psychology, based on a survey of papers presented at the Psychology Congress: Science and Profession . Data collection took place between October and November 2017, with five studies being selected and analyzed. It can be seen that 2010 and 2014 were the years of greatest production on Aviation Psychology; the scientific poster modality was the one with the most papers presented. It appears that, in Brazil, Aviation Psychology is an area whose discussion is still small. During the research, the existence of the Brazilian Association of Psychology in Aviation was identified, which, since 2013, has held events for the dissemination and promotion of the area. It is hoped that this research will contribute to the development and recognition of this field of application of Psychology.
