Review of Research on Effects of Psychological Stress upon Performance,
Abstract
The effect of emotional or psychological stress on human performance is an important consideration in many activities. A combat situation represents an outstanding example. Stress is induced in many other activities, for example, in accelerated training programs where great emphasis is placed on completing a difficult course successfully in limited time. Since not too much is known regarding the specific effects of psychological stress on various types of human performance, this problem presents a fruitful and challenging area for human resources research. This bulletin represents a review of past investigations of the effects of stress.
