Abstract
The human-side of project management is a topicthat has been explored in project management, but not to theextent that it should be. Health and safety is of paramountimportance in project management, particularly constructionproject management. What is often overlooked is the mentalhealth side of health and safety and how anomalisticpsychological experiences can have an adverse impact onproject success. This paper proposes using ‘k-scores’ tomeasure psi-hit and psi-miss, or in other words the extent towhich a person thinks they have had an anomalistic experienceor that they have not. The measure of k-scores are derived fromcombining the ecological cognition framework with aparametric user model. The benefit of this is that it allows thecollection of data online, such as through Microsoft Teams,Skype or Zoom.
