“…was lowered but at an increasing cost in the number eliminated The choice of a cut-off score would ultimately depend upon the number of men available and the proportion which could be assigned to other duties than those in which seasickness can be a practical issue. These findings are in general agreement with the Wesleyan University studies on the use of a questionnaire in predicting proneness to symptoms on a vertical accelerator (1).…”

“…A group of 544 recruits undergoing processing in a Naval Training Center was given the motion sickness questionnaire along with the other pencil and paper tests they were required to take. 1 No mention was made of the fact that the questionnaire was to be used for research purposes Two days later another contingent of 459 recruits was given the questionnaire but they were told that it was for research purposes only and that they were not required to put their names on it. These two distributions were compared to determine whether the groups differed significantly as a result of the testing circumstances.…”

In general, females have been reported to be more susceptible to motion sickness and experience greater malaise. However, conflicting findings suggests that gender differences may be driven by susceptibility rather than gender. In this study, susceptibility was balanced within the genders and treatments to determine if gender differences are due to gender or susceptibility. Analysis of motion history questionnaire data found no significant differences between genders, but did find a significant difference between hi and low susceptibles. Analysis of Simulator Sickness Questionnaire total scores revealed consistent insignificant differences between the genders in all treatments and significant differences between hi and low susceptibles at all sampling points except baseline. Analyzing dropout and percent exposure duration completed data revealed an unsubstantial difference between genders, but did yield a dropout rate 2.3 times higher among high susceptibles compared to low susceptibles. As a result of the aforementioned findings, future research in motion sickness gender differences should account for susceptibility as a subject variable.
