Lesson 41 : Fatigue-Forms And Causes

Forms Of Fatigue

Psychological Fatigue:

Sometimes fatigue may occur even when there is enough energy to do work. This will also result in reduced output. This is called as psychological fatigue. Just as physiological fatigue results in a reduced output of work and aversion to work, similarly, psychological fatigue too results in an aversion to work further and reduced output. It is very difficult to define or measure, as it consists in rather vague subjective states. It is not localized in the body. This can be classified into two types- Frustration fatigue which looks to the individual himself and boredom fatigue which looks to the environment as the basis of fatigue.

This is further divided into two types:

1. Boredom Fatigue
2. Frustration Fatigue
