Title Determining the psychic workload: Present status and perspectives
Original title Zum gegenwärtigen Stand und zu Perspektiven der Bestimmung psychischer Beanspruchung im Arbeitsprozess [in German]
Bibliographic information 1974, Vol.18, No.1, p.17-28. 24 ref.
Abstract Whereas established concepts and measuring methods are available for the physiological workload, no such criteria exist for assessing the load due to mental activity. The author defines the terms (task, demands, load, and stress) from the standpoint of psychic workload and examines the possibilities of determining its effects.
