This award will support collaborative research between Dr. Gary Evans, University of California, Irvine and Professor Gunn Johansson, Department of Psychology, University of Stockholm, Sweden. The objective of the project is to determine characteristics of the work environment that affect occupational stress and the etiology of cardiovascular disease. The specific research proposed will evaluate an experiment in environmental and job re-design being conducted by the Stockholm Public Transit District. The intervention aims to reduce traffic congestion for bus drivers and improve passenger service. A before/after quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group will evaluate the experimental intervention. Multi-methodological assessments of occupational stress will include psychophysiological indices, self-reports and trained observations of drivers while on the job. Detailed assessments of the physical and psychosocial bus driving environment will be carried out. This collaboration brings together a Swedish work psychologist experienced in psychophysiological measurements of the impacts of psychosocial work characteristics, with the US investigator, who is an environmental psychologist with expertise in stress research and quantitative methods.

该奖项将支持加州大学欧文分校的Gary Evans博士和瑞典斯德哥尔摩大学心理学系的Gunn Johansson教授之间的合作研究。该项目的目标是确定影响职业紧张和心血管疾病病因的工作环境的特征。拟议的具体研究将评估斯德哥尔摩公共交通区正在进行的环境和工作重新设计实验。此次干预旨在减少公交车司机的交通拥堵，改善乘客服务。采用前后准实验设计，设置非等价对照组，对实验干预效果进行评价。对职业压力的多方法评估将包括心理生理指数、自我报告和对司机在工作中的训练观察。将对巴士的实际和心理驾驶环境进行详细评估。这项合作将一位在心理社会工作特征影响的心理生理学测量方面经验丰富的瑞典工作心理学家与一位在压力研究和量化方法方面拥有专业知识的环境心理学家美国研究员汇聚在一起。
