“…Anxiety displayed a connection to ratings of temporal demands and frustration such that anxious people gave higher ratings on both TLX scales. The latter connection was consistent with Cox-Fuenzalida et al (2004) and Rose et al (2002). Anxious people thus seemed more sensitive to time pressure.…”

“…In a study conducted in parallel to the present one ), speeding up across three different stimulus rates produced more miss errors overall than slowing down over the same three rates. Cox-Fuenzalida et al (2004) found a similar result for participants with high neuroticism. Thus the speed change manipulation was expected to produce changes in TLX ratings as well, particularly ratings of temporal demand.…”

“…Perceived effort was rated lower by those who started in the faster condition and then slowed down. Cox-Fuenzalida et al (2004) explained a similar result as speeding up requiring a greater adaptive response, which challenged people higher in anxiety more so than others. Szalma and Taylor (2011) appeared to arrive at a similar conclusion regarding the relationship between stress, coping, and anxiety.…”

“…Several authors have made a cogent case for studying individual differences in personality, motivation, cognitive abilities, and coping strategies in the study of ergonomics problems (Baldwin 2009;Cox-Fuenzalida, Swickert, and Hittner 2004;Cox-Fuenzalida et al 2006;Drury et al 2009;Eysenck 2010;Hancock, Hancock, and Warm 2009;Karwowski 2000;Matthews and Campbell 2009;Szalma 2008;Szalma and Taylor 2011;Szymura 2010;Verhagen 1993). In principle, such knowledge could be used to modify system designs so that individual differences no longer present meaningful variation in performance, to customise designs, and to take advantage of human capabilities and limitations.…”

“…Cox-Fuenzalida et al (2004) assessed the role of neuroticism in response to increasing or decreasing workloads in an auditory vigilance task. Participants who were higher in neuroticism showed longer response times in both conditions and more errors in the condition where speed increased.…”

This study investigated the roles of four psychosocial variables -anxiety, conscientiousness, emotional intelligence, and Protestant work ethic -on subjective ratings of cognitive workload as measured by the Task Load Index (TLX) and the further connections between the four variables and TLX ratings of task performance. The four variables represented aspects of an underlying construct of elasticity versus rigidity in response to workload. Participants were 141 undergraduates who performed a vigilance task under different speeded conditions while working on a jigsaw puzzle for 90 minutes. Regression analysis showed that anxiety and emotional intelligence were the two variables most proximally related to TLX ratings. TLX ratings contributed to the prediction of performance on the puzzle, but not the vigilance task. Severity error bias was evident in some of the ratings. Although working in pairs improved performance, it also resulted in higher ratings of temporal demand and perceived performance pressure.

Convergence between GNAT‐assessed implicit and explicit personality

2007

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Two studies investigated the characteristics and correlates of implicit personality measures provided by the Go/No‐Go Association Task (GNAT), a variant of the Implicit Association Test (IAT). Extraversion was assessed in Study 1, and all Big‐Five factors in Study 2. Of interest were the convergent validity of the measures with explicit personality and their reliability. The results demonstrate that the GNAT metric (d') is reliable, and has convergent validity, only when systematic variance in the GNAT indices is controlled. We also provide preliminary evidence for the predictive utility of GNAT indices of implicit extraversion and neuroticism by examining their ability to predict reaction times. The results suggest that this task provides a promising method for assessing implicit personality. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
