调查了两个可能影响症状评估的错误来源，这两个错误是恼怒反应的一部分；这些被称为症状性恼怒。受访者S意识到调查与噪音问题有关，似乎并不影响健康问卷的答案。针对引出症状的特定问题的措辞对答案有明显影响。询问飞机噪音是否使受访者感到紧张/头痛/紧张等的问题，在高噪音情况下获得的肯定答案比例高于在受访者患有相同症状时以更中性的方式提出的问题。通过使用错误分类表，即两个问题的交叉表，可以确定由噪音引起的可靠症状，从而减少实地访谈中通常使用的噪音措辞问题所造成的错误量。讨论了烦恼与心理健康的关系。
Two sources of possible error affecting the assessment of symptoms which are part of annoyance reactions were examined; these were called symptomatic annoyance. The respondent''s awareness that a survey has to do with noise problems does not seem to affect the answers to a health questionnaire. The wording of specific questions aimed at eliciting symptoms had a marked effect on the answers. Questions which ask whether aircraft noise made the respondent feel tension/headaches/nervousness, etc., elicit a higher proportion of positive answers in high noise than questions that ask in a more neutral manner if the respondent had suffered the same symptoms. With the use of a misclassification table, i.e., a cross-tabulation of both questions, reliable symptoms attributed to noise can be identified, thus reducing the amount of error introduced by noise-worded questions usually employed in field interviews. The relationship between annoyance and mental health are discussed.
