Abstract

Bu
araştırmanın amacı, kolay ve zor olarak düzenlenmiş testlerin uygulanması
sırasında yüksek ve düşük nevrotik seviyedeki iki gurubun algılanan stres
seviyesini incelemektedir. Bunu test etmek için, 21 maddeden oluşan Eysenk
kişilik testi kullanilarak 400 kişi arasindan nevrotik seviyesi yüksek ve düşük
olan 22’şer kişilik iki grup olustruldu. Bu katılımcılar kolay ve zor olarak
adlandırılan testlere tabii tutulduktan sonra, testler sırasında algılanan
stres seviyeleri ölçüldü. İki grup arasında, kolay ve zor testler ve stres
seviyesi arasındaki etkileşimi öğrenmek için ANOVA testi kullanıldı. Sonuçlar,
kolay testler sırasında, iki grup test perfromansı ve algılanan stress
açısından benzer iken, zor test uygulaması sırasında, yüksek seviyede nevrotik
olan bireyler, düşük seviyede nevrotik olanlara göre daha düşük performans ve
yüksek stres seviyesine sahip oldukları bulunmuştur.

Perceived Stress in Cognitive Performance of Easy and Difficult Task in High and Low Neurotics

Abstract

The current study aims at investigating stress
related differences during processing of easy and difficult tasks in high and
low neurotics. To examine this, 22 high and 22 low neurotic participants were
selected among 400 screened people based on 21 item Eysenck Personality
Questionnaire (EPQ). They performed single and dual tasks and subsequently
filled self-designed perceived stress survey. An analyses of variance (ANOVA)
tests with repeated measures were conducted to analyse the results. The results
showed that while high and low neurotics did not differ on easy tasks regarding
performance and perceived stress level, high neurotics were considerably slower
with greater perceived stress level than low neurotics on difficult tasks.
