A laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate the behavioral consequences of adaptation to high-intensity aperiodic noise, under conditions where subjects believed or did not believe they had indirect control over termination of the noise. The findings showed that among a group of college males, the work of adapting to uncontrollable, in contrast to controllable noise …

Conducted a series of laboratory and field experiments with more than 200 Ss to study behavioral effects and aftereffects of exposure to unpredictable and uncontrollable high-intensity noise. Ss’ tolerance for frustration and quality of task performance were impaired following stimulation by unpredictable noise. Even though physiological adaptation occurred to an equivalent degree under predictable and …
