愤怒和沮丧可能导致不安全驾驶，并可能引发侵略性驾驶或道路愤怒的情况。研究表明，压力、集中注意力引起的疲劳，或者这些因素的结合，都会加剧愤怒和沮丧。它还表明，接触植被可以促进从压力和疲劳中恢复。公路植被能减轻汽车司机的愤怒和沮丧吗？我们随机分配了106名参与者观看三盘高速公路行驶录像带中的一盘，录像带中的植被和人造材料的数量各不相同。实验获得了Speilberger状态-特质愤怒表达量表（STAXI）测量视频曝光前后的愤怒程度，并在视频播放后获得了挫折容忍度。对愤怒没有显着影响，但挫折容忍度的结果显示，在接触更多植物的录像带后，更高的挫折容忍度（受访者花更多时间在无法解决的字谜上）。百老汇设计和路边植被似乎有恢复作用，减少挫折。
Anger and frustration may contribute to unsafe driving and may trigger instances of aggressive driving or road rage. Research shows that stress, fatigue from the exercise of directed attention, or a combination of these factors can exacerbate anger and frustration. It also suggests that exposure to vegetation can facilitate recovery from stress and fatigue. Can highway vegetation mitigate automobile driver anger and frustration? We assigned 106 participants at random to view one of three video-tapes of highway drives, which varied in the amount of vegetation versus man-made material. The experiment obtained Speilberger State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI) measures of anger before and after video exposure and obtained a measure of frustration tolerance after the video. No significant effect on anger emerged, but the results for frustration tolerance showed higher frustration tolerance (respondents spent more time on unsolvable anagrams) after exposure to videotapes with more vegetation. Parkway design and roadside vegetation appear to have restorative effects in reducing frustration.
