这项研究测试了状态-特质愤怒理论适用于驾驶时愤怒的假设。高愤怒和低愤怒的司机开车的次数和里程一样多,但高愤怒的司机报告说,他们在日常驾驶中更频繁和更强烈的愤怒以及更多的攻击性和危险行为,在频繁发生的情况下更大的愤怒,更频繁的亲密接触和移动违规行为,以及更多地使用敌意/攻击性和不太适应/建设性的方式来表达愤怒。在低阻抗模拟中,群体在状态愤怒或攻击性上没有差异;然而,在高阻抗模拟中,高愤怒司机报告了更大的状态愤怒以及言语和身体攻击。愤怒的司机在低阻抗模拟中以更高的速度行驶,碰撞的时间和距离更短,在高阻抗模拟中撞车的可能性是前者的两倍。此外,愤怒程度高的司机更普遍地感到愤怒。假设得到了普遍支持,在愤怒和攻击性方面几乎没有性别差异。(C)2003爱思唯尔科学有限公司。保留所有权利。
This research tested hypotheses from state-trait anger theory applied to anger while driving. High and low anger drivers drove equally often and as many miles, but high anger drivers reported more frequent and intense anger and more aggression and risky behavior in daily driving, greater anger in frequently occurring situations, more frequent close calls and moving violations, and greater use of hostile/aggressive and less adaptive/constructive ways of expressing anger. In low impedance simulations, groups did not differ on state anger or aggression; however, high anger drivers reported greater state anger and verbal and physical aggression in high impedance simulations. High anger drivers drove at higher speeds in low impedance simulations and had shorter times and distances to collision and were twice as likely to crash in high impedance simulations. Additionally, high anger drivers were more generally angry. Hypotheses were generally supported, and few gender differences were noted for anger and aggression. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
