To investigate the anxious and depressive trends in flight officers, both Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS) and Self .rating Depression Scale(SDS) by Zung, translated into Korean by department of neuropsychiatry of Catholic Medical College, were applied in a total of 137 flight officers and 98 ground officers. Means SAS scores, mean SDS scores, and scores of each items between both groups were compared and tested statistically. The results were as follows; 1) There was no significant differences in mean scores of SAS and SDS between flight officers and ground officers. 2) In SAS, the items of anxiousness, fear and sweating were more frequent in flight officers. However, the items of body ache and pain, fatigue, faintness, and face flushing were more frequent in ground officers(p < .05, p < .01). 3) In SDS, ground officers were characterized by the higher scores in the items of insomnia, weight loss, fatigue, irritability, and personal devaluation (p < .05, p < .01). 4) Also, ground officers showed significantly higher scores in physiological and psychological equivalents (p < .05, p < .01).
