Alvero, Alicia M.; Rappaport, Eva; Taylor, Matthew A. – Journal of Organizational Behavior Management, 2011
The current study compared the estimation of momentary time-sampling (MTS) to actual safety performance of three ergonomic responses: back, shoulder, and feet. Actual safety performance was established for the five participants by measuring the target responses with a continuous procedure. MTS 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195, 210, 240, and…

Alvero, Alicia M.; Struss, Kristen; Rappaport, Eva – Journal of Organizational Behavior Management, 2008
Partial-interval (PIR), whole-interval (WIR), and momentary time sampling (MTS) estimates were compared against continuous measures of safety performance for three postural behaviors: feet, back, and shoulder position. Twenty-five samples of safety performance across five undergraduate students were scored using a second-by-second continuous…
