Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Individual differences in behavioral, cardiovascular, and endocrine responses to varying workload among 381 air traffic controllers were assessed using random regression modeling. Although most men showed significant increases in behavioral arousal associated with increasing planes, there were major individual differences in response in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and cortisol. Approximately 20% to 25% of those studied had large increases in each of these domains, along with a smaller group showing inverse responses in heart rate and cortisol. There was also evidence of a smaller number of enhanced responders within the highest groups, who tended to have more missing values at higher levels of workload. There was convergence in the definition of responders using three statistical strategies: random regression, correlational analyses, and ANOVA. Response in one physiological/behavioral domain was essentially independent of response in another, supporting the conclusion of specificity, rather than a global tendency to respond to increasing work load. |
