description New insights into potentially harmful consequences of modern technology have increased efforts to use the methods of the social, behavioral, and biological sciences in searching the psychosocial environment for aversive factors and in identifying high‐risk individuals and groups. Examples are given from an ongoing project concerned with the impact of technology on workers, health and satisfaction, in particular problems concerned with adjustment to underload and overload associated with automation and mechanization in industry. Furthermore, the stress involved in urban commuting is illustrated with psychophysiological data. On the basis of results obtained in these and related studies it is argued that a moderately varied flow of stimuli and events, opportunities to engage in psychologically meaningful activities and to exercise personal control over external conditions, may be considered key components in the quality‐of‐life concept. Health risks associated with adjusting to demands characteristic of life in technologically advanced countries are discussed in this context. RÉSUMÉ La découverte des effets nocifs possibles de certaines technologies modernes a accru l'utilisation des méthodes des sciences sociales, comportementales et biologiques pour la recherche de facteurs nuisibles dans l'environnement psychosocial et l'identification d'individus et groupes exposés à des risques élevés. Des illustrations sont tirées d'un projet en cours étudiant l'impact de la technologic sur la santé et la satisfaction des ouvriers et, plus particulièrement, les problèmes relatifs à l'adaptation à des conditions de sous‐ ou surcharge résultant de l'automation et de la mécanisation industrielles. Le phénomène de stress associé à la navette quotidienne en milieu urbain est également illustré au moyen de données psychophysiologiques. Sur base des résultats obtenus par ces études et autres travaux, on peut déceler des composantes essentielles du concept « qualité de la vie » : flux modérément varié de stimuli et événements, possibilités de s'engager dans des activités psychologiquement signifiantes, faculté d'exercer un contrôle personnel sur les conditions externes. Sont enfin discutés dans ce contexte les risques sanitaires liés à l'adaptation aux exigences caractéristiques de l'existence dans les nations de haute technologie.
