Annoyance and behavioral aftereffects following interfering and noninterfering aircraft noise

Journal of Applied Psychology, (1977)

Abstract

In Exp I, 120 college Ss aged 17-57 yrs performed 1 of 2 tasks (a listening or a cancellation task) within 1 of 3 auditory environments (continuous noise, intermittent noise, quiet). Aftereffects of noise on performance similar to those found by D. C. Glass and J. E. Singer (1972) were not obtained. Ss reported greater annoyance with noise when they worked on the listening task (with which the noise interfered) than when they worked on a routine cancellation task (with which the noise did not interfere). Exp II (48 Ss) was designed to replicate more closely Glass and Singer's procedures but produced essentially the same results as Exp I. Possible explanations for the absence of aftereffects are discussed. (16 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
