The Dispute, Eduard Kurzbauer

Annoyance is an unpleasant mental state that is characterized by such effects as irritation and distraction from one's conscious thinking. It can lead to emotions such as frustration and anger. The property of being easily annoyed is called irritability.

Psychology[edit]

Various reasons exist for why one finds particular stimuli annoying. Measurement of annoyance is highly subjective. As an attempt at measurement, psychological studies on annoyance often rely on their subjects' own ratings of levels of annoyance on a scale. Many stimuli that one is at first neutral to, or even finds pleasant, can turn into annoyances from repeated continued exposure. One can often encounter this phenomenon with such media as popular music, memes, commercials, and advertising jingles, which by their very nature are continually repeated over a period of weeks or months.

A study published in the International Journal of Conflict Management found that one's response to an annoyance, at least when the perceived cause is another person, escalate to more extreme levels as they go unresolved.^[1] It also found that one was more likely to blame the party who was causing the annoyance in the study, rather than one's self, for the annoyance as it escalated.

Psychological warfare can involve creating annoyances to distract and wear down the resistance of the target. For example, in 1993, the FBI played music "specifically selected for its irritation ability" on loudspeakers outside the Branch Davidian church in Waco, Texas in an attempt to bring about the surrender of David Koresh and his followers.^[2]

Annoying means to cause irritation. An example sentence is 'Ignore that annoying girl. She is talkative.'

[Indoor air guideline values for saturated acyclic aliphatic C4-C11 aldehydes].

[No authors listed]AbstractTo protect public health the German Working Group on Indoor Guidelines of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency and the States' Health Authorities is issuing indoor air guideline values. For health evaluation of indoor air n- and i-alkanals with at least 4 C atoms no appropriate human data is available. Based on animal studies irritation has been identified as crucial adverse effect following inhalative exposure to C4 to C6 alkanals. However, sufficient data is available for C4 alkanals only. Inflammation of the nose epithelium followed by non-neoplastic and degenerative lesions has been seen in inhalative subchronic studies with butanal and chronic studies with i-butanal. The lowest adverse effect level for continuous exposure is assessed by the Working Group as 16 mg butanal per cubic meter. By applying an interspecies factor of 1 and an intraspecies factor of 10 a so-called health hazard value of 2 mg butanal/m3 indoor air is obtained. Regarding the few and limited data on inhalation toxicity of the higher homologues concerning irritation a health hazard value of 2 mg/m3 indoor air for the total of acyclic C4 to C11 alkanals is recommended. Elevated C4 to C11 alkanal indoor air concentrations annoy by odour. To prevent from unpleasant odour a so-called health precaution value of 0.1 mg acyclic C4 to C11 alkanals/m3 indoor is recommended.
