Abstract

This paper outlines the three-phase construction of the Startle and Surprise Inventories (Startle-I; Surprise-I) and Visual Analogue Scales for Startle and Surprise (Startle-VAS; Surprise-VAS). In Phase 1, seven experts in the field assessed the content validity of 14 items for surprise, 7 items for startle derived from fundamental and applied literature. Elimination of items was based on a 50% agreement of relevance. In Phase 2, 81 participants completed the retained 19 items nine times, each time immediately after watching a video clip. A multilevel exploratory factor analysis was applied to assess the construct validity of items. In Phase 3, concurrent validity of the Startle-VAS and Surprise-VAS was tested by comparing with the Startle-I and Surprise-I scores, respectively. The first two phases yielded a 11-item two-factor solution, corresponding to the constructs of startle and surprise. These results supported Startle-I and Surprise-I as measures of self-report startle and surprise, with Startle-VAS and Surprise-VAS as efficient alternatives.

惊吓和惊奇量表和视觉模拟量表的开发和验证。

本文概述了惊吓和意外清单(Startle- i；惊吓- i和视觉模拟量表（惊吓- vas）；Surprise-VAS)。在第一阶段，该领域的7位专家评估了来自基础和应用文献的14个惊奇项和7个惊吓项的内容效度。消除项目是基于50%的相关性协议。在第二阶段，81名参与者在观看了一段视频剪辑后，立即完成了9次保留的19个项目。采用多水平探索性因子分析评估项目的构念效度。在第三阶段，分别通过比较Startle-I和Surprise-I得分来检验Startle-VAS和Surprise-VAS的并发效度。前两个阶段产生了一个11项的双因素解决方案，对应于惊吓和惊讶的结构。这些结果支持startle - i和surprise - i作为自我报告惊吓和惊讶的测量方法，而startle - vas和surprise - vas是有效的替代方法。

期刊介绍： Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives. The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
