112名大学生参加了一项模拟驾驶的研究，以调查驾驶员的攻击性、状态愤怒和应对方式如何预测冒险行为，如追尾和超车频率。在模拟场景中，在缓慢的交通中驾驶，引发了愤怒和压力。然而，与司机压力的交易模型一致，愤怒和痛苦与不同的应对模式相关。愤怒和攻击都与对抗性应对有关。司机有机会在危险的情况下通过其他交通。性格应对因素，特别是对抗性应对，预测冒险行为，如频繁通过和尾随之前通过。然而，特质攻击和愤怒并没有预测危险行为。对抗性驾驶员可能已经形成了习惯性的行为风格，这些行为风格的表达与当前的情绪和应对策略无关。研究结果表明，压力或愤怒管理可能只是在拥挤条件下危险驾驶的部分解决方案。需要进一步研究驾驶员如何获得对抗性行为风格。这些数据还支持在商业和工业环境中选择安全驾驶员的多变量方法。爱思唯尔有限公司出版
112 college students participated in a study of simulated driving to investigate how trait driver aggression, state anger and coping predict risk-taking behaviors such as tailgating and frequency of passing. The simulation scenario, driving in slow traffic, elicited both anger and stress. However, consistent with the transactional model of driver stress, anger and distress were associated with different patterns of coping. Both anger and aggression were associated with dispositional confrontive coping. Drivers were afforded opportunities to pass other traffic, in risky circumstances. Dispositional coping factors, especially confrontive coping, predicted risk-taking behaviors, such as frequent passing and tailgating prior to the pass. However, trait aggression and anger did not predict risky behaviors. Confrontive drivers may have developed habitual behavioral styles that are expressed irrespective of current mood and coping strategy. The findings suggest that stress or anger management may be only a partial solution to dangerous driving in congested conditions. Further investigation of how drivers acquire confrontive behavioral styles is needed. The data also support multivariate approaches to selecting safe drivers in commercial and industrial contexts.
