In this paper, an attempt is made to establish the direction of causality between a range of psychological factors and aircraft noise annoyance. For this purpose, a panel model was estimated within a structural equation modeling approach. Data were gathered from two surveys conducted in April 2006 and April 2008, respectively, among the same residents living within the 45 Level day-evening-night contour of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the largest airport in the Netherlands (n=250). A surprising result is that none of the paths from the psychological factors to aircraft noise annoyance were found to be significant. Yet 2 effects were significant the other way around: (1) from 'aircraft noise annoyance' to 'concern about the negative health effects of noise' and (2) from 'aircraft noise annoyance' to 'belief that noise can be prevented.' Hence aircraft noise annoyance measured at time 1 contained information that can effectively explain changes in these 2 variables at time 2, while controlling for their previous values. Secondary results show that (1) aircraft noise annoyance is very stable through time and (2) that changes in aircraft noise annoyance and the identified psychological factors are correlated.
本文试图确定一系列心理因素与飞机噪声烦恼之间的因果关系方向。为此，在结构方程建模方法中估计了一个面板模型。数据分别来自于2006年4月和2008年4月对荷兰最大的机场——阿姆斯特丹史基浦机场45等效连续A声级日-夜-晨等值线范围内的同一居民进行的两项调查（n = 250）。一个令人惊讶的结果是，未发现从心理因素到飞机噪声烦恼的任何路径具有显著性。然而，反过来有两个效应是显著的：（1）从“飞机噪声烦恼”到“对噪声负面健康影响的担忧”，以及（2）从“飞机噪声烦恼”到“认为噪声可以预防的信念”。因此，在时间1测量的飞机噪声烦恼包含了可以有效解释在控制其先前值的情况下时间2这两个变量变化的信息。次要结果表明：（1）飞机噪声烦恼随时间非常稳定，以及（2）飞机噪声烦恼的变化与所确定的心理因素相关。
