You have probably already considered this as an avenue of research, but if
not, what about a questionaire directly to line crews who have worked
through the creation and evolution of CRM. In the questionaire ask
specifically how individuals viewed CRM: has it helped, and would they
give examples of situations in which CRM prevented what may have otherwise
resulted in an accident or incident. How many would respond is always the
big question. However, if done properly and with the appropriate amount of
anonimity, I think the results would be informative and of great value in
answering the question you are dealing with. It may be that this type of
study has already been done. If so, great. If not, I think this kind of
first hand information from aircrews would be better than studies that look
at related data and attempt to identify trends that may or may not be the
result of CRM. Good Luck!

Tracy,
Dr. Al Diehl wrote a paper a while back on this topic:
Diehl, A. (1992, January). Does cockpit management training reduce aircrew
error? ISASI Forum, 24(4).
In Chapter 5 of my book, "Pilot Judgment and Crew Resource Management"
(available from Ashgate 802-276-3162), I go through the history of research
showing the effectiveness of judgment and CRM training. I continue to study
the topic here at OSU with support from the FAA.
Much more is needed and I think you have picked a great topic for you
graduate research. Please let me know how it goes. I hope to see your
results at the Symposium on Aviation Psychology some day.
