Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Perceived fatigue after mental work : and experimental evaluation of a fatigue inventory

Notas: The aim of this study was to investigate the perceived fatigue after mental work and to test the Swedish Occupational Fatigue Inventory (SOFI). Twenty male and 20 female participants worked with proof reading (2 x 90 min.) and a vigilance task (2 x 60 min). After each task session, perceived fatigue was rated with the SOFI and Borg's CR10-scale. High ratings after both work task were also founds on the CR 10-scale. Men and women did not differ significantly with respect to their ratings. No clear-cut physiological reactions were found to correlate with ratings of fatigue. The results indicate the validity of the mental dimension of the SOFI.Registros relacionados: En: Ergonomics. - London [etc.]. - Vol. 43 nº 2, February 2000 ; p. 252-268Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Fatiga mental Valoración de la capacidad laboral Psicología del trabajo Tests Otros autores: Gamberale, F.
