“…As shown by Poulton (41), several studies have obtained such an effect of noise at moderate levels, primarily with the use of variable noise and long simple monotonous signal monitoring tasks. However, the evidence is not as consistent as Poulton indicates (42). Noise has also been found to improve recall in some memory tasks (43), but this effect is generally not viewed as an arousal effect.…”

KJELLBERGA. Subjective, behavioraland psychophysiological effects of noise. Scand J Work Environ Health 1990; 16(suppl 1):29-38. The subjective and psychophysiological responses to noise and the effects of noise on performance have been reviewed in this article. Emphasis was placed on moderateintensity noise and on the effects relevant for occupational noise exposure. It was concludedthat in many respectsresearchpresentsa rather inconsistentpicture of theseeffects. Still, it is evidentthat the nonauditory effects of noise may be serious enough to warrant as much general attention in the occupational setting as has for some time been accorded in residential settings.

“…However, researchers have not identified any systematic pattern of results favoring either sex (see Berch & Kanter, 1984;Davies & Parasuraman, 1982 for -reviews). Often what has emerged are subtle interactions between sex and other factors (Koelega & Brinkman, 1986;Loeb, Noona, Ash, & Holding, 1987;Lysaght, Warm, Dernber, & Loeb, 1984). Therefore, these studies have suggested that sex Merences are of little theoretical and practical irnportance in regard to vigilance.…”

Participants (24 men, 24 women) were asked to perform either a spatial or temporal vigilance task. Task-related Boredom and NASA-Task Load Index scores were collected. The results replicate Dittmar, Warm, Dember, and Ricks' 1993 finding of task-specific sex differences in vigilance performance and subjective workload. The present study also showed task-specific sex differences for boredom ratings. These results suggest that two explanations may account for the sex differences. More accurate perceptual discriminations may account for some of the differences in performance; however, sex differences in perceived boredom may more likely be responsible for the task-specific sex differences in vigilance performance and subjective workload.

“…A basic criticism is that the inverted U theory is ultimately untestable because the position on the mverted U curve can only be specified after an experiment (Koelega & Brinkman, 1986). The inverted U theory has also been criticized for failing to predict performance, account for the multidimensional nature of anxiety, or provide a theoretical mechanism for the relationship, as well as for a variety of methodological and statistical problems (Gould & Krane, 1992;Jones, 1990;Neiss, 1988;Weinberg, 1990).…”

SPONSORING/MONITORING AGENCY NAME(S) AND ADDRESS(ES)The study recruited 500 students who were enrolled in EOD training. These students were enlisted persoimel in the US military who volunteered to participate in the study at two points during the training program. Self-report assessments of potential risk factors were collected at the begiiming of the training program and at one intermediate time point that is associated with the highest level of student attrition. These risk factors included general cognitive ability, inattention and impulsivity, problem solving, anxiety, personality dimensions, social relations, and stressfiil events. In addition, the study explored the role of the demographic, social desirability, and external stressor control It is important to me to say thanks. Also, expressing my gratitude in writing is a way for me to never forget all the ways people have helped me and to remember to look for similar ways to help others. This study required a lot of statistical assistance. Dr. Wijo Kop bore the brunt of this load with multiple meetings and email correspondence. Also, Dr. Martha Faraday also helped with statistical guidance. VlllMy committee provided invaluable assistance. From beginning to end, their involvement has been constructive and facilitative. One example is the v^ay each committee member was willing to work with me to fit this longitudinal study in the five years allotted to military graduate students.
