Research on intervention strategies for fire rescue personnel’s competency frustration: EEG experimental validation

In order to accurately measure the level of competency frustration and what measures to take to alleviate the negative effects of competency frustration, 35 graduate students were selected to verify the effect of the frontal lobe <i>α</i> asymmetry (FAA) as a judgement of the competence frustration level using EEG experimental method. On this basis, through two stopwatch stopping experiments, 108 fire rescue personnel were selected to conduct the experiments to investigate the intervention effects of developmental feedback and compassion-focused therapy in turn. The results showed that frontal <i>α</i> asymmetry could be used as an EEG indicator for judging competency frustration, and the intervention method of compassion-focused therapy reduced the level of competency frustration of the subjects, while developmental feedback interventions did the opposite. The difference in the effects of the two intervention methods indicates that when intervening in competence frustration, it is easier to reduce the competency frustration by focusing on the subjects themselves than focusing on the completion of the task.
