Reports on a series of experiments on environmental noise performed over a 3-yr period. Those experiments in the series that incorporated federal guidelines concerning informed consent of the Ss failed to replicate the negative aftereffects of noise found earlier by DC Glass and JE Singer (1972). The experiments that were performed before implementation of the federal guidelines, however, successfully replicated the Glass and Singer findings. To clarify this pattern of results, a final experiment was performed on 2 groups of Ss treated identically except that one group gave informed consent while the other did not. Results confirm that the S procedures involving informed consent as defined by the federal guidelines prevent the emergence of negative aftereffects of noise, possibly because these procedures give the Ss what amounts to control over the stressor. Similar phenomena may occur in research on other environmental stressors, such as crowding and electric shock, in which Ss' perception of control is a critical variable. Possible techniques for performing future research of this type are discussed.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
