Abstract

Human reliability is usually investigated from a technical perspective in terms of probability models or from a general psychological perspective in terms of information processing or decision models. Both approaches look at human actions on an individual level. Based on a meta-analysis of 100 accidents at sea (Wagenaar & Groeneweg, 1987) it is shown, that the mere focus on the individual or the aggregation of several individuals has severe shortcomings. As the statistical analysis reveals, the individuals' contributions are not mutually independent. Rather, they seem to be affected by social interactions manifesting in the two-persons case. An explanation of the results may be provided by theories of social influence as proposed by social-psychological theorists.
