“…In the current study however, a modified version of the NASA-TLX was employed in which participants estimated their average task-load on a typical day during the first 12 months of the pandemic. This modification was based on previous research in which the NASA-TLX was used as an estimate of workload over longer periods of time, for example, by nurses [47], car production workers [48], diabetes patients [49] and control room operators [50] to estimate workload across a whole work shift. Although the use of the NASA-TLX as an estimate of task-load for whole day activities has been validated [49], it is possible that the retrospective average estimate used in the current study did not provide accurate or reliable measures of actual task-load during the pandemic.…”

The covid-19 global pandemic has significantly impacted on the daily lives of people across the world. One consequence of this has been significant distortion to the speed at which time feels like it is passing during day-to-day life in comparison with prior to the pandemic. The current study sought to further understanding of the impact of the pandemic on temporal experience by exploring individual differences in the subjective length of the first 12 months of the pandemic in the UK. Using an online questionnaire, subjective judgments of the perceived length of the preceding 12 months were taken. In addition, measures of affect, task load and satisfaction with current levels of social interaction, physical activity, conformity with regulations, perceived covid risk and shielding status were taken. The results showed that only 9% of participants reported that the preceding 12 months felt like 12 months. The majority of participants (57%) reported that it felt like the pandemic had lasted for longer than 12 months, and this feeling was stronger for those who indicated greater levels of depression and anxiety, reduced physical activity, reduced satisfaction with social interaction and being advised to shield.

“…By adopting the categorization procedure by Sugarinda et al, [ 34 ] the task load scores were partitioned into 0 to 29 as “low workload” and 30 to 100 as “high workload”, to determine the workload of each of the respondents. Similarly, by adopting the categorization procedure by Dale et al, [ 43 ] the general health scores of the respondents were partitioned into 0 to 12 as “not at risk” and 13 to 30 as “at risk” (that is, more declined general health) to ascertain the general health of the respondents.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the global workloads and general well-being of employees, especially in the university system. The object of this study is to evaluate the mental health and effect of increase in workload on the general well-being of the administrative staff of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, on the resumption of academic activities after the lockdown due to COVID-19. A total of 73 randomly selected administrative staff were involved in the study. Three sets of instruments, the demographic questionnaire, National Aeronautics and Space Administration-Task Load Index, and General Health Questionnaire, were used to obtain information on the demographic characteristics, workload, and level of mental disorder among the respondents due to COVID-19. The generalized linear regression model, 1-way analysis of variance, independent samples t test, and contingency coefficient were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that high workload is significantly associated with high risk of mental and general health disorders among the respondents. The married, divorced, widowed, older, and females staff with >2 children are the most vulnerable to mental disorder, physical workload, frustration, and general health challenges. The younger staff, those with at most 2 children, and those who are still single experience lower mental and general health disorder and are more resilient. Significant and comprehensive health and administrative support should be provided for the overall well-being of the staff.

“…• ISA: self-reported stress levels directly reported by the participant after finishing each task having different combinations of experimental factors (e.g., robot speed and camera number). • Weighted NASA: a modified raw NASA-TLX by multiplying weights ([5, 0, 4, 3, 2, 1]) on each NASA-TLX factor to provide a more accurate and personalized assessment of workload [28].…”

This paper explores how the personality traits of robot operators can impact their task performance during remote control of robots. The influence of personal dispositions on information processing, either directly or indirectly, needs to be examined when working with robots on specific tasks. To investigate this relationship, we utilize the open-access multimodal dataset MOCAS to examine the operator's personality, affect, cognitive load, and task performance. Our objective is to confirm if personal traits have a total effect, including both direct and indirect effects, that could significantly impact operator performance level. We specifically examine the relationship between personality traits such as extroversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness, and task performance. We analyze the correlation between cognitive load, self-ratings of workload and affect, and the quantified individual personality traits and their experimental scores. As a result, we confirm that personality traits have no total effect on task performance. A supplementary video is at: https://youtu.be/h3XUtVn7nzg.
