The current study explores the effect of nightshift work on the decision-making competence and performance of the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) and analyzes whether individual differences in the need for cognition (NFC) can moderate this effect. A total of 107 female nurses were recruited to complete the decision-making competence scale and IGT at two times, after a night shift and after a day shift. The results revealed that the IGT scores and decision-making competence of nurses after nightshift work significantly declined, and also that the decrease in decision-making competence was related to the nurses' performance of the IGT. Additionally, the decreasing degree of IGT and decision-making competence scores of the high-NFC group were significantly lower than those of the low-NFC group after nightshift work. In can be concluded that the decrease in decision-making competence which was related with poor decision-making due to nightshift work. NFC moderated the effect of nightshift work on decision-making.
本研究探讨了夜班工作对 Iowa 赌博任务(IGT)决策能力和表现的影响,并分析了认知需求(NFC)个体差异是否可以调节这种影响。总共招募了 107 名女性护士,在夜班后和白班后两次完成决策能力量表和 IGT。结果表明,夜班后护士的 IGT 得分和决策能力显著下降,且决策能力的下降与护士的 IGT 表现有关。此外,夜班后高-NFC 组的 IGT 和决策能力得分下降程度明显低于低-NFC 组。可以得出结论,夜班工作导致的决策能力下降与不良决策有关。NFC 调节了夜班工作对决策的影响。
