Abstract
Validation is an essential step in developing a new measure. This research is concerned with gathering initial evidence of the construct validity of the Mild Motion Questionnaire (MMQ), a 39-item paper-and-pencil based tool for assessing sopite syndrome and other responses to non-sickening motion. Two groups of participants (49 US Navy trainee pilots versus 56 undergraduate students) completed the MMQ after exposure to one of four disparate stimuli: a familiarization flight, visuomotor sensory rearrangement, a control task, or progressive muscle relaxation. The various treatment conditions led to distinctly different symptoms of sopite in participants. The specific symptom profiles revealed through MMQ subscale scores differed greatly and predictably across conditions, suggesting that the MMQ effectively discriminated among the types of symptoms experienced. In addition, a convergence was observed between responses on an established motion sickness questionnaire and subscales of the MMQ pertaining to sickening responses to mild motion, supporting further the (convergent) construct validity of the MMQ.
