- The Recent rapid growth of the information technology aid people to improve the performance in processing their job activities. These changes, in turn, force them to carry out their job activities using computers in the workplace; that results in the increase of somatic and/or mental stresses. In this study, we conducted a preliminary experiment to estimate an impact of web-browsing on human mind and body. Two types of web-browsing tasks, which are a 18-minuetes of continuous web-browsing and an intermittent web-browsing (first 45 second of each 1-minutes interval), were given to the subjects (10 healthy male aged from 20-23) with within-subjects experimental design. With regard to physiological measures, two prominent stress biomarkers, salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) and cortisol, were employed. Comparing among the task conditions, relatively larger and long-lasting increase of IgA and smaller decrease of cortisol was observed with an intermittent web-browsing despite there was no difference in the psychological state. These results illustrate the difficulty of estimating the mental workload caused by web-browsing and the importance of employing physiological indices.
