_ (Text] Against the background of continuous increase in demands made of =
~ man by modern induatry, the problem of finding the w~y to diagnose the
condition of an operator and to evaluate his reliability while working
, under complex conditions is acquiring great aci.entific and practical _
imporlance.
~ The use of the speech channel is particularly valuable for purposea of
monitoring man's condition, since it is readily acceasible to observaCion
no matter how complex the condiCions under which man works.
The method of identifying man's state described in thta article is ~ased _
on comparison of so-called background speech characteristics, i.e., the
_ characteristica that are typica.t for an individual under ordinary working -
conditions, to Che corresponding speech features in the presence of emotio-
_ genic r:ituations. Such compari3on is made for an entire set of quantitative ~
and qualitative indices, the informativeness of which as indicators of
changes in th~ speaker's state was tested experimentally.
It should be noted that only some of the changes in intonational features of _
- the verbal signal associated with a state of emotional stress have been
- more or less thorQUghly investigated and described in the literature (2, 4,
- 9, 15, 18j, and these changes were tracked within the framework of the same
words and phrases (isolated from the flow of speech) uttered by the speaker -
in different states. -
As for studies, in which an effort was made to record changes not only in
intonation but a number of other characteristics of speech in the presPnce
~f emotional tension (temporal, syntactic and others [3, 17j, they were
based on rather limited experimen[al material obkained chiefly under labo-
ratory conditions. Emotional tension was artificially stimulated in the
speakers (for example, by imposing a time limit on their statement).

~Ok UI~'I~TCIAL U5[i ONLY
In tt~i:.� inve~tiguCion, we analyzed an entire set of quantitaCive and quali-
- tative chunges occurring in man's speech with onset of a sCate nf emotion~tl
t~n~ion, on Che basis of diverse verbal meterial obtained in real emoCio-
genic gituatiune.
Methods
A comparntive psyCholinguistic analysis wa~ made ~F the speech of 95 aubjects _
(university studenCs, civil aviation trnffic controllers, pntient~ admitted
to a surgical clit?ic for serious surgery, servicemen) in emutiogenic and
ordinar~ situations. We used a differ~ciCiated approach L-o selection of
emotiogenic situationa for each group of sub~ects, on the basis of the con-
ception we adhere to that an emotiogenic situation does not exist as such~ _
but depends on the v~lue an individual places on his activiCy and his mani-
; fe~rations under somc life situation or other [8]. For example, the
situation of an i.mportant te;~t (as opposed to a routine l~boratory
seminar situation) w~~ used fo:� the group secondAry school graduates and
university students; ~Ar the controller grour, the situation consisted of =
' performing reat assignmenta, in ?:he presence of an authoritative commission,
to determine their profeasional fit.ness for work involving rcceipt aiid .
tr~ns~ission of verbal cummutiications against the background of noise and .
verbal interference (as opposiLe to the siCuation where the sub~ects per-
form an exercise series of analo~ous tests); for the group of sur~ical
- patienCs, the situation involved conversing with the sur~eon ~ust prior to
- the operation, before premedication (as opposed to talking with a patient
after succesaful surgery, on the eve of discharging him from the clinic); _
for the graup of servicemen, the siCUation involved performance of their _
professionul dutiea in an aCmosphere of increased personal reaponslbility _
for their outcome, combined wi~th the factor of a danger of disruption af
activity due to possible exogenous intervention. The verbal reports of:
sub~ects in this group on the pro~ression of their occupational activities
in an emotiogenic situation were compared to the reports on performing
analogous activiries in a situation when the sub3ect bore considerably
- less personal responsibili~ty and was informed uf the lower probability of
disruption of activities. ~
Res~lts
We demonzztrated statistically significant differences in a number of psycho-
- physiological indicPs in the above-listed situations, in the same subjects.
For example, in the student group (52 people) the differences bEtween a
test situation and routine class were substantial, with respect to pulse
rate, G5R [balvanic skin reflex], arter:al pressure and perspiration of the
palms* according to the criterion of Wilcoxson, with a
