The objective of the study is to show that trait anxiety and motion sickness history are responsible for different temporal progressions of sickness in passengers. The level of inflight anxiety and inflight sickness severity was monitored for 124 passengers in a full-motion cabin simulator during a short-haul flight with four different flight segments. Four groups with different characteristics in trait anxiety and motion sickness susceptibility showed different profiles of inflight sickness development. High trait anxiety was responsible for high inflight anxiety and a constantly high level of motion sickness, while passengers with just a motion sickness history showed an increase in motion sickness severity over time. We suggest that trait anxiety and motion sickness susceptibility interact and have an impact on the temporal progression of inflight sickness severity. The analysis of temporal developments of anxiety and sickness are fruitful for understanding the origins of motion sickness, research and individual treatments. In a full-motion cabin simulator study with 124 passengers the level of inflight anxiety and inflight sickness severity was monitored. Trait anxiety and motion sickness history were found to have different impacts on the temporal progression of individual sickness severity.

本研究旨在表明特质焦虑和晕机史是导致乘客晕机不同时间进程的原因。在一次短途飞行中，124 名乘客在全动感座舱模拟器中接受了 4 个不同飞行阶段的监测，监测其飞行过程中的焦虑水平和晕机严重程度。具有不同特质焦虑和晕机易感性特征的 4 组显示出不同的飞行中疾病发展模式。高特质焦虑与高飞行焦虑和持续高晕机严重程度有关，而仅有晕机史的乘客则表现出晕机严重程度随时间的增加而增加。我们认为，特质焦虑和晕机易感性相互作用，对飞行中晕机严重程度的时间进程有影响。对焦虑和疾病时间发展的分析有助于理解晕机的起源、研究和个体化治疗。在一项有 124 名乘客参与的全动感座舱模拟器研究中，监测了飞行过程中的焦虑水平和晕机严重程度。研究发现，特质焦虑和晕机史对个体晕机严重程度的时间进程有不同的影响。方差分析；AVES：航空飞行器模拟器；hiA/hiM：高焦虑和高晕机易感性组；hiA/loM：高焦虑和低晕机易感性组；MSSQ：晕机易感性量表；loA/hiM：低焦虑和高晕机易感性组；loA/loM：低焦虑和低晕机易感性组；SPSS：社会科学统计软件包；SSQ-TS：模拟器晕机问卷的总分；STAI：状态特质焦虑量表。
