Abstract Background Pinpointing the noise-induced psychological effects in workplace is difficult due to the wide variance of individual responses. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of individual and personality traits in occupational noise-induced annoyance, mental work load, and fatigue. Methods Thirty-one male participants with normal hearing and good general health were recruited. They were asked to judge the noise-induced annoyance, mental workload, and fatigue of occupational environments involved cognitive functions in exposure to noise level: 55–80 dBA. The level of noise annoyance and fatigue were measured using visual analog rating scales of ISO. The mental workload was evaluated using NASA-TLX. A GEE model was developed to determine the role of individual and personality traits. Results Results revealed that all three mental effects were affected by neuroticism and noise sensitivity. Moreover, the individuals who did not good health felt more the noise annoyance than those who were in better health status. It was also found that, as age increased, the level of the noise annoyance increased. The mental workload was influenced by two traits of extraversion and openness that their correlation was statistically significant (P Conclusion It seems that neuroticism, extraversion, and noise sensitivity are strong predictors of noise-induced psychological and mental effects. Therefore, in selecting suitable individuals for occupations, personality traits (noise sensitivity, neuroticism, extraversion, openness) should be taken into consideration.

个人和人格特征在职业噪声引起的心理影响中的作用

摘要 背景 由于个人反应的广泛差异，很难确定工作场所噪声引起的心理影响。本研究的目的是调查个人和性格特征在职业噪音引起的烦恼、脑力工作负荷和疲劳中的作用。方法 招募听力正常、一般健康状况良好的男性受试者 31 名。他们被要求判断噪声引起的烦恼、心理工作量和职业环境的疲劳，这些职业环境涉及暴露于噪声水平的认知功能：55-80 dBA。使用 ISO 的视觉模拟评分量表测量噪音烦恼和疲劳的水平。使用 NASA-TLX 评估心理负荷。开发了一个 GEE 模型来确定个人和个性特征的作用。结果 结果显示，所有三种心理效应都受到神经质和噪音敏感性的影响。此外，与健康状况良好的人相比，健康状况不佳的人更容易感受到噪音烦恼。还发现，随着年龄的增加，噪音烦恼的程度增加。心理负荷受外向性和开放性两个特征的影响，它们的相关性具有统计学意义（P 结论似乎神经质、外向性和噪声敏感性是噪声引起的心理和心理影响的强预测因子。因此，在选择合适的个体时，应考虑职业、人格特征（噪音敏感性、神经质、外向性、开放性）。与健康状况良好的人相比，健康状况不佳的人更容易感受到噪音烦恼。还发现，随着年龄的增加，噪音烦恼的程度增加。心理负荷受外向性和开放性两个特征的影响，它们的相关性具有统计学意义（P 结论似乎神经质、外向性和噪声敏感性是噪声引起的心理和心理影响的强预测因子。因此，在选择合适的个体时，应考虑职业、人格特征（噪音敏感性、神经质、外向性、开放性）。与健康状况良好的人相比，健康状况不佳的人更容易感受到噪音烦恼。还发现，随着年龄的增加，噪音烦恼的程度增加。心理负荷受外向性和开放性两个特征的影响，它们的相关性具有统计学意义（P 结论似乎神经质、外向性和噪声敏感性是噪声引起的心理和心理影响的强预测因子。因此，在选择合适的个体时，应考虑职业、人格特征（噪音敏感性、神经质、外向性、开放性）。
