“…For the objective assessment, we measured the heart rate (HR) of the participants; this is a physiological indicator of distress conditions (Beck et al, 2005) and is typically considered in previous work on music and anxiety (Bradt & Dileo, 2009;Knight & Rickard, 2001;Mok & Wong, 2003;Pelletier, 2004;Thoma et al, 2013). Although both heart rate variability (HRV) and resting heart rate (RHR) are commonly considered to predict stress disorders, HRV has been shown to be biased toward high HR ranges, which are typical of females (Khanade & Sasangohar, 2017). Furthermore, HRV has also been shown not to be affected by different musical rhythms (da Silva et al, 2014) or in patients with coronary heart diseases treated by music-based intervention (Bradt & Dileo, 2009).…”

Extensive research has been published on the effects of music in reducing anxiety. Yet, for most of the existing works, a common methodology regarding musical genres and measurement techniques is missing, which limits considerably the comparison between them. In this study, we assess, for the first time, markedly different musical genres with both psychological and physiological measurements. Three previously studied musical samples from different genres—classical (Pachelbel’s Canon in D), Turkish (Hüseyin Makam), and electroacoustic (pure electronic)—were employed to influence “everyday anxiety” in 50 German participants (25 females, 25 males). Psychological (self-perception assessment) and physiological (heart rate measurement) indicators of anxiety, as most typical of prior work, were considered. Our study shows that listening to Pachelbel’s Canon increases the self-perception of calm, whereas listening to the electroacoustic sample decreases it; the Turkish sample is in between. No differences in heart rate are found for any of the musical genres. Our study also suggests that listeners’ self-perception might be biased by the statements used in the psychological evaluation (positive or negative), which are interpreted differently by the subjects depending on their current state.

“…Our results suggest that CPT exists because of a significant correlation between increased heart rate at key journey points. Moreover, the literature confirms a significant link between heart rate and anxiety levels [52]. We argue that unless urgent interventions are implemented to alleviate this growing EV user issue, then the introduction of enforced sector regulation to improve overall parity with ICE fuel service stations should be investigated.…”

Evaluating the Barrier Effects of Charge Point Trauma on UK Electric Vehicle Growth

For electric vehicles (EVs) to realise the UK government’s goal of mass-market dominance, there are surmountable hurdles to resolve before car users accept this radical shift in motoring technology. This study focuses on recent EV adopters who experience a new phenomenon described as charge point trauma (CPT). In contrast to range anxiety, we define CPT as the psychological, physiological, and behavioural condition where EV user’s experiences develop trauma or anxiety in response to the availability of sufficient charge points, locations, payment processes, and operability. Resolving impediments to EV usage reduces long-term growth barriers, which we argue can subsequently lower or even eliminate EV driver anxiety. We conclude that range anxiety still plays a major part in overall EV driver trauma, and after deep analysis of our case study data conclude that a trauma other than range anxiety exists at the charge point. To mitigate this phenomenon, we propose a regulatory framework comprising a series of stimuli to encourage EV uptake. These recommendations should be targeted at regulating a new generation of EV charging stations to meet operational parity with current fossil fuel filling stations by ensuring they are always on, available in sufficient numbers, accessible and operable as part of the UK motorway and major trunk network. This will de-risk EV purchasing and stimulate their adoption in this embryonic stage, reducing CPT in the process.

“…With respect to the first question, we adopted heart rate as the key measure of cardiovascular activation for the following reasons: a) heart rate correlates with arousal [55]; b) heart rate is an important health indicator [80], linked to long-term cardiovascular [81] and mental health [82] problems; and c) heart rate can be reliably measured with smartwatches [83], a ubiquitous sensor worn by over a quarter of the U.S. population [84].…”

We report on a naturalistic study investigating the effects of routine driving on cardiovascular activation. We recruited 21 healthy young adults from a broad geographic area in the Southwestern United States. Using the participants' own smartphones and smartwatches, we monitored for a week both their driving and non-driving activities. Monitoring included the continuous recording of a) heart rate throughout the day, b) hand motion during driving as a proxy of persistent texting, and c) contextualized driving data, complete with traffic and weather information. These high temporal resolution variables were complemented with the drivers' biographic and psychometric profiles. Our analysis suggests that anxiety predisposition and high speeds are associated with significant cardiovascular activation on drivers, likely linked to sympathetic arousal. Surprisingly, these associations hold true under good weather, normal traffic, and with experienced drivers behind the wheel. The said findings call for attention to insidious effects of apparently benign drives even for people in their prime. Accordingly, our research contributes to intriguing new discourses on driving affect and personal health informatics.
