The effects of warnings and an educational brochure on computer working posture: A test of the C-HIP model in the context of RSI-relevant behaviour

Article Abstract:

The results indicate that computer warnings are more effective in improving the working posture than the educational brochures, in fact, questionnaires are also used to know whether the alterations in the positions are due to the Wogalter's communication - human information processing (C-HIP) model.
