THERP is a first-generation methodology, which means that its procedures follow the way conventional reliability analysis models a machine. [3] The technique was developed in the Sandia Laboratories for the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. [4]
The subject is still being studied actively. Research into accident-proneness is of great interest in safety engineering, where human factors such as pilot error, or errors by nuclear plant operators, can have massive effects on the reliability and safety of a system. One of the areas of most interest and more profound research is aeronautics ...
However, these judgments may not always reflect the true situation. Instead of being completely objective, people often make errors in perception that lead to skewed interpretations of social situations. [4] [5] Attribution biases are present in everyday life.
