John Burke:

Thank you for your comments. You make great points and provide valuable insight from the pilot's seat.

The survey provided is Alarcon et al.'s (2023) System Trust Scale which can be found at https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10....87208231189000. I sent your comments to Dr. Alarcon and his research group at Wright-Patterson AFB.

In full disclosure, despite my personal opinions, my PhD program requires the use of a validated measurement (e.g., the STS) without any changes. The STS has value as a metric if the researcher remains mindful of its limitations.

I appreciate your comments and your taking the time to take the survey. It means a lot to me.
