Abstract
Four groups of college students ( ns = 17, 14, 15, and 16) performed a letter-cancelling task under quiet conditions. The quiet was suddenly interrupted for 6 min. by human, mechanical, or white noise; or there was no noise (control). Task efficiency was compared with scores on the Rotter Internal-External Control Scale and the Maudsley Personality Inventory. No significant relationships between personality characteristics, noise conditions, and task efficiency were found.
