Noise annoyance may reflect a pro-participatory attitude towards public information and consultation according to the European Environmental Noise Directive. However, noise annoyance is also indicative of a stress response to perceived uncontrollable noise exposure. Using cross-sectional data on a sample of elderly citizens (n = 1772), we investigated whether the value residents ascribed to being able to control noise exposure at home moderated the potential indirect effect of road traffic noise on annoyance through perceived noise control. Our results confirmed the presence of such a moderated mediation, which may justify studying the impact of residents' valuing perceived noise control on participation readiness.
根据《欧洲环境噪声指令》，噪声烦恼可能反映了一种对公共信息和咨询的积极参与态度。然而，噪声烦恼也是对感知到的不可控噪声暴露的应激反应的一种表现。本研究使用了老年人样本的横断面数据（n=1772），调查了居民对家庭中控制噪声暴露能力的重视程度是否调节了道路交通噪声对烦恼的潜在间接影响，以及感知到的噪声控制的中介作用。研究结果证实了这种有调节的中介作用的存在，这可能为研究居民对感知到的噪声控制的重视对参与准备的影响提供了依据。
