Work Preferences as Moderators of the Effects of Paced and Unpaced Work on Mood and Cognitive Performance: A Laboratory Simulation of Mechanized Letter Sorting

This article describes a laboratory study of work preferences (ideal job demand and discretion levels) as moderators of the effects of paced and unpaced work on cognitive and affective responses. Posttest measures of cognitive performance and self-reported stress and arousal were used as outcome measures with covariance control for the corresponding pretest values. The experimental design allowed within-subjects contrasts of fast versus slow pacing and of machine-paced versus self-paced conditions. Self-paced performance compared favorably with machine-paced performance; however, individual differences in ideal demand influenced the relative speed of work under the two conditions. Work preferences also moderated relationships between pacing and outcome measures; ideal discretion moderated machine-pacing versus self-pacing effects in relation to cognitive performance and stress, and ideal demand moderated fast versus slow pacing effects in relation to arousal. These findings are discussed in relation to existing literature on pacing and on person-environment fit.

“…Studies also have reported that compared with men, women display greater alcohol-induced impairment on manual dexterity tests (e.g. Price et al, 1986), smooth pursuit tracking tasks (Dougherty et al, 1998) and in measures of gross motor control, such as standing steadiness and gait (e.g. Wang et al, 2003).…”

“…The operation of a drill press, for example, was not affected by BACs below 0.060 g/dl (Price & et al, 1982), but the ability to assemble electronic parts was impaired at 0.049 g/dl (Price et al, 1986). Note that the latter was a relatively difficult task, which required subjects to assemble transistors in specific coordinate locations on a grid board and, upon completion, to insert the unit in a check-out box and adjust a meter read-out to a specified value.…”

A review of the scientific literature regarding the effects of alcohol on driving-related skills was conducted. One hundred and twelve articles -from 1981 to 1997 -were reviewed. Results were indexed by BAC and behavioral area and entered into a database. Two separate analyses were conducted. The first analysis determined the lowest BAC at which impairment is reliably present in driving-related skills. The second analysis determined the thresholds of impairment for each of twelve separate behavioral areas. It was concluded that: O Alcohol impairs some driving skills beginning with any significant departure from zero BAC. By BACs of 0.05 g/dl, the majority of the experimental studies examined reported significant impairment. By 0.08 g/dl, more than 94% of the reviewed studies showed impairment in the skills they measured.O Specific performance skills are differentially affected by alcohol. Some skills are significantly impaired by BACs of .01 g/dl, while others do not show impairment until BACs of 0.06 g/dl.O Discrepancies among the reported BAC thresholds of impairment within a behavioral area reflected a lack of standardization of testing methods, instruments, and measures in the studies reviewed.O All drivers can be expected to experience impairment in some driving-related skills by 0.08 g/dl or less 17.
