The purpose of this study was to apply the theory of person-environment fit in assessing student well-being in a university computer room. Subjects were 12 students enrolled in a computer literacy course. Their learning behavior and well-being were evaluated on the basis of three symptoms of video display terminal stress usually found in the workplace: visual stress, musculo-skeletal stress, and psychological stress. Environmental contributors to these forms of computer stress were assessed by two techniques: (1) objective observation such as measuring the height of keyboards above the floor; and (2) rational application of established knowledge, i.e., comparing measurements with ergonomic recommendations in the human factors literature. Relevant information from the personalogical dimension was collected via interviews. Preliminary findings suggest all three areas investigated revealed real problems: screens with sharply visible letters were not often available and all screens had reflective glare. The learning stations were cramped and could not be easily moved as security devices were attached with permanent glue. However, students were seldom critical; there is some support in the person-environment fit literature for the idea that the learner role may cause students to believe their learning experiences are organized in the best way possible, or that situations are permanent and cannot be improved. A preventive ergonomics approach is suggested which would sensitize students (and others) to the issues of daily work with computers. A list of references is provided. (JB)
