Abstract

In the research field of motion sickness, one of the challenges is to measure motion sickness. In this study a revised motion sickness questionnaire (rMSQ) was proposed. 30 male subjects participated in the experiment, and they were seated in a rotating chair until the evoked motion sickness became unbearable or scheduled time was up. The rotation were repeated for two sessions, one for eyes opened and one for eyes closed. The baseline diastolic blood pressure had a significant correlation with the fear survey schedule value while baseline systolic blood pressure had a correlation with the rMSQ headache item. According to the eyes opened endurance time length, subjects were divided into three groups: the sensitive, the normal and the resistant. Statistical analysis indicated that the sensitive and resistant groups had marked differences in simplified coping style and nausea item in rMSQ. To conclude, rMSQ could describe motion sickness symptoms clearly.
