Three of those were chosen as different as possible in order to exclude other possible cause. A content analysis was conducted based on the theory of complacency by Sharon Lipinski. The analysis showed 25 indicators of complacency divided in three sub categories. Overconfident, not taking the risk seriously and the action had become a habit. The conclusion of this thesis was that there is a connection between experience and complacency in the accident reports linked to the Swedish Armed Forces. (Less)
