Under-studied questions

  • Dependence on self-report measures in human factors and attention research

    Tentative

    Across the 28 most recent NIH-indexed human factors and attention articles analyzed, 3 (11%) explicitly surface this issue in their own title or abstract. A recurring, self-reported constraint at this rate is a concrete opening rather than a general complaint.

    Evidence

    Detected in 3 of 28 abstracts (11%) by matching the language authors themselves use to describe study limitations. Counts come from cached PubMed records, not from an interpretation of them.

    Possible dissertation angle

    Pair the standard self-report battery with an objective or behavioral index and quantify how much the two diverge.

  • Inconsistent findings across studies in human factors and attention research

    Tentative

    Across the 28 most recent NIH-indexed human factors and attention articles analyzed, 2 (7%) explicitly surface this issue in their own title or abstract. A recurring, self-reported constraint at this rate is a concrete opening rather than a general complaint.

    Evidence

    Detected in 2 of 28 abstracts (7%) by matching the language authors themselves use to describe study limitations. Counts come from cached PubMed records, not from an interpretation of them.

    Possible dissertation angle

    Conduct a systematic review with meta-regression to identify which methodological choices explain the divergent results.
