先前的研究表明,愤怒的司机可能会对潜在的危险做出不同的反应。这项研究重复并扩展了这些发现。在模拟驾驶条件下,两组驾驶员经历了会增加愤怒情绪(N = 12;男性= 6)或不会增加愤怒情绪(对照组,N = 12;男性= 6)的条件。然后,所有驾驶员都进行了空档驾驶,在此期间,他们遇到了许多在初始驾驶中没有经历过的交通事件。这些包括从车道上出现的车辆和乱穿马路的行人。当司机开车时,主观愤怒,眼动行为和驾驶行为(速度和反应时间)被测量。在每次驾驶之前和之后评估主观情绪(情绪状态简介)。与对照组相比,愤怒激发的司机在最初的驾驶后报告了更高的愤怒情绪增加,并且这些增加在随后的中性驾驶中保持稳定。在中立的驱动器,愤怒挑起的司机表现出更多的启发式的潜在危险的处理证据,较短的初始凝视不太明显的危险和较长的lavelance回头看看乱穿马路的行人被停放的车辆。愤怒的司机也需要更长的时间来采取纠正措施,以避免潜在的碰撞。它的结论是,愤怒引起的司机最初可能会作出更肤浅的某些驾驶情况下的评估,从而低估了固有的风险。版权所有© 2012约翰威利父子有限公司语言:en
Previous research has suggested that angry drivers may respond differently to potential hazards. This study replicates and extends these findings. Under simulated driving conditions, two groups of drivers experienced conditions that would either increase angry mood (N = 12; men = 6) or not (control group, N = 12; men = 6). All drivers then performed a neutral drive, during which they encountered a number of traffic events not experienced in the initial drive. These included vehicles emerging from driveways into their path and jaywalking pedestrians. Subjective anger, eye-movement behaviour and driving behaviours (speed and reaction times) were measured as drivers drove. Subjective moods (Profile of Mood States) were assessed before and after each drive. Anger-provoked drivers reported reliably higher increases in angry mood when compared with the control group after the initial drive, and these increases remained stable across the subsequent neutral drive. During the neutral drive, anger-provoked drivers demonstrated evidence of more heuristic style processing of potential hazards, with shorter initial gazes at less apparent hazards and longer latencies to look back at jaywalking pedestrians obscured by parked vehicles. Anger-provoked drivers also took longer to make corrective actions to avoid potential collisions. It is concluded that anger-provoked drivers may initially make more superficial assessments of certain driving situations and consequently underestimate the inherent risk.
