Question 45

An occupational psychologist wanted to investigate how different auditory environments affect workplace focus. She conducted an independent groups experiment where one group of administrative staff wore active noise-cancelling (ANC) headphones playing brown noise during their shift. A different group of administrative staff wore standard passive foam earplugs. After a 2-hour data-entry task, participants were asked to rate their level of focus on a scale of 1 ('highly distracted') to 12 ('deep flow state').
