The Effects of Noise Stress on Blood Glucose Level and Skilled Performance

Abstract: I'hirty-two male subjects were randomly assigned to one of four groups. Groups A and B were pre-loaded with glucose, Groups C and D were not. Groups A and D carried out a pursuit rotor task under 50 dBA (non-stressful), white noise. Groups B and C carried out the same task under SOdBA (stressful) white noise. Blood samples were taken from eeoh subject, and blood glucose levels as well as time on target were measured.Statistical analysis of the results showed that noise stress impaired performance and that pre-… Show more

“…Examples of how individual attributes can modify the job selection and placement process comes from Stagner (1975) and Salvendy and Pilitsis (1971); both of which have been reviewed earlier in this paper. Findings from Simpson, Cox, and Rothschild (1974) qualify previous recommendations of high-carbohydrate diets for workers in high-frequency noise environments; this suggests the need for greater emphasis on nutritional jobmatching and general nutritional counseling for workers. Although Ferguson (1973) construes job enlargement (enrichment) to be a general solution, evidence from Hulin and Blood (1968) that" alienated" classes of workers (primarily from urban areas) would actually resent such modifications suggests that such an approach may be inappropriate.…”

“…By using exposure to continuous noise during a tracking task, the eff ects of percei ved control over both the intensi ty of the noise and the difficulty of the tracking task were independently assessed. Tracking tasks are known to be sensiti ve to the effects of loud noise (Viteles &: Smith, 1946;Eschenbrenner, 1971;Stevens, 1972;Simpson, Cox &: Rothschild, 1974). Moreover, pursuit tracking was the only task shown by Glass and Singer (1972) to be sensitive to condi tions during noise exposure: 'Accuracy of tracking performance deteriorated over the course of the noise session in uncontrollable-unpredictable noise treatments, whereas improvement occurred in controllable treatments' (Glass &: Singer, 1972, p. 43).…”
