Abstract

The authors studied the psychological, psychophysiological, and biochemical characteristics of healthy volunteers divided into stress-activated and stress-disorganized subjects on the basis of the quantification of operator activity results under conditions of modeled psychological stress. The initial values and dynamics of changes was specific to these groups, which proves the advisability of a comprehensive evaluation of an individual on the basis of the selected signs to predict productivity of operator activity under extreme conditions.
