| Abstract: | Forty female clerical workers were randomly assigned to a control condition or to 3-hr exposure to low-intensity noise designed to simulate typical open-office noise levels. The simulated open-office noise elevated workers' urinary epinephrine levels, but not their norepinephrine or cotrisol levels, and it produced behavioral aftereffects indicative of motivational deficits. Participants were also less likely to make, ergonomic, postural adjustments in their computer work station while working under noisy, relative to quiet, conditions. |
