Eysenck, allowing to measure person's anxiety, frustration, aggression and rigidity were used. It was established that the most significant factors of adaptation to occupational disease were levels of motivation of success (positive influence), alarms, frustrations and rigidity (negative influence); aggression was not connected with the level of adaptation to occupational disease.
