Abstract

This study compared the effects of different frequencies of self-monitoring on safe sitting postures. Participants were four office workers. The dependent variable was the safety percentage for four body positions. The independent variable was self-monitoring frequency: high and low self-monitoring frequencies. Results showed that the safety percentage increased when self-monitoring was introduced. However, the effects of the two different self-monitoring frequencies on safe performance were not statistically different.
