Behavioral Effects of a Noisy Environment: Task Involvement Versus Passive Exposure.
This study compared the effects of noise under active task involvement as opposed to passive exposure. Eighty subjects were assigned to one of four conditions, representing 2 × 2 combinations of task versus no task, and noise versus quiet. Performance on a dial-monitoring task was unaffected by nois...

Eighty subjects were assigned to one of four conditions, representing 2 × 2 combinations of task versus no task, and noise versus quiet. Performance on a dial-monitoring task was unaffected by noise. Ratings of interest and tenseness were significantly higher under the task condition; tenseness was also higher under noise. On a posttest of resistance to frustration, both noise groups, regardless of task condition, showed a smaller degree of persistence on insoluble puzzles than the no-noise groups. These results suggest that aftereffects of noise are not dependent on the power of noise to disrupt task performance. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1976 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
