An important aspect of soldier effectiveness is the ability to perform multiple tasks in the face of stress. It has likewise been found that performance on a secondary task degrades when multiple tasks are being performed simultaneously and that the presence of stress is associated with general decrements in performance. Consequently, it is important to understand how the presence of stress impacts complex task performance in the military domain. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of noise on multiple task performance, subjective workload, and subjective dimensions of stress framed within the skill — rule — and knowledge based trichotomization.
Consumers frequently encounter warning labels and safety precautions on the products they purchase, whether it is at home or in the workplace. Studies on the physical aspects of warning labels have been extensively considered, such as variability in font size, weight, size contrast, etc. Although it is important to consider the physical characteristics of the warning label, individual characteristics as they pertain to consumers are also important to consider. For example, Weaver, et al. found that health orientation and sensation seeking were significantly related to behavioral compliance to warnings. The current study investigated the extent to which participant characteristics would relate to warning compliance when exposed to a noise stressor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
