| Abstract: | This study manipulated workload levels and used a technique examining workload history to test Eysenck’s (1967) theory of extraversion. Participants consisted of 71 undergraduates who had been selected from a larger pool that had completed the Eysenck Personality Inventory. Participants performed an auditory vigilance task while percent correct data were recorded. A repeated measures ANOVA was conducted and results indicated that extraverts and introverts respond differently to a sudden decrease in workload level. Specifically, a sudden decrease in workload level resulted in an immediate significant decrement in correct responses for extraverts while the decrement for introverts was minimal. Limitations were discussed and implications for future research were addressed. |
