### Near-Miss Recognition (Eye-Tracking) Under Stressor Conditions  
This study used psychophysiological responses (EDR and HR) and eye-tracking matrices to evaluate the effect of stressor conditions on near-miss recognition performance. As shown in Figure 17, the workplace stressor of mental stress (MST) encountered by participants with excess demand for cognitive processing during an eye-tracking task manifests in the statistically significant difference in EDR measure compared to baseline condition (BT). For auditory stress condition (AST), although there was no statistically significant difference in EDR and HR measures for eye-tracking activity, higher psychophysiological measure demonstrates imposed stress due to stressor condition compared to baseline condition (BT). Similarly, the effect of stressor condition on participants' near-miss recognition performance evaluated by visual attention (FD) and adaptation level (TFF) showcased a statistically significant difference when compared between baseline condition versus men

As participants encountered stress conditions imposed by stressors, it led to human cognitive failure, resulting in irrational decision-making and reduced fixation duration for near-miss AOIs. Overall, visual attention (fixation duration) for near-miss recognition was reduced for stressor conditions compared to baseline conditions that can be visualized in Figure 18. There was a 26.64% decrease in fixation duration for mental stress conditions compared to baseline, suggesting that mental stressors induced increased mental workload and decreased cognitive resources for participants, and this reduced their situational awareness to identify near-misses. Similarly, the fixation duration for the auditory stress condition was 46.71% lower than the baseline condition. Higher visual attention reduction during auditory stress suggests that participants' cognitive recourse was drastically affected by noise stressors compared to mental stressors. In the case of near-miss recognition, participants' performance based on adaptive level (time to first fixation) towards stressors was reduced during mental and auditory stressor conditions compared to baseline conditions. As provided in Figure 19, there was a 32.70% reduction in time to first fixation for mental stressor condition compared to baseline condition. Participants suffered a 12.58% reduction in time to first fixation for auditory stress condition compared to baseline condition. Time to first fixation is the time spent gazing at the stimuli before first fixation on an area of interest [100]. As the time to first fixation provides an evaluation of the adaptation level of the participants for the variation in stressor conditions, lower time to first fixation represents early recognition of target AOI. Based on the time of the first fixation of participants in this study, individuals could fixate on near-miss AOI better when they were under stress. However, their cognitive process to identify near-misses is reduced, measured by fixation duration. Therefore, stressor conditions diminished visual attention by reducing participants' near-miss recognition performance and increasing the likelihood of unsafe acts.

The correlation analysis demonstrates a relationship between extraversion, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness with psychophysiological responses and eye-tracking matrices during near-miss recognition. Previous correlation studies indicate a significant relationship exists between personality traits, emotional response, and behavioral states evaluated using physiological data from wearable sensors [101]. Therefore, assessing the correlation of personality traits and psychophysiological parameters during near-miss recognition provides valuable insight into workers' behavior and cognitive processing.
