“…DAS, DAX, DDDI and other related instruments had also been used for the analysis of drivers response according to gender, age and work conditions [22,23,29,34,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58]. For example, Sullman found that females display a higher level of anger due to risky driving on the 33-items DAS survey [48].…”

Anger while driving in Mexico City

et al. 2019

This study aims to analyze the level of anger developed by drivers in Mexico City and also understand the behavior that those drivers use to express that anger, using four different survey methods. The first focuses on personal information, the second Driving Anger Expression Inventory (DAX), the third refers to a shorten version of Driving Anger Scale (DAS) and the fourth being the Dula Dangerous Driving Index (DDDI). These have previously been applied and validated in several different countries. The questionnaires were filled out online by 626 drivers. Using the data collected through the online platform, it was possible to identify the kind of reactions volunteers displayed while driving. Also, it was possible to identify that people in Mexico City developed anger depending on their driving area. Our analyses shows that in the Adaptive/Constructive Expression subscale, males and females show a significant difference in their mean score, with women express their anger in a more constructive way than males.

“…For the DAX survey, several works have been performed studying the differences in the expression of anger between males and females [49][50][51][52][53]. For example, Eşiyok, Yasak, and Korkusuz found that males between 21 and 30 years report a higher expression of anger through physical means compared to other age groups [51].…”

“…Extended versions of the TBP have also highlighted the role of injunctive, descriptive, personal and moral norms in predicting such behaviours (e.g., Cestac, Paran, & Delhomme, 2011, 2014Cooke, Dahdah, Norman, & French, 2016;Elliott, Armitage, & Baughan, 2003;. Also, research on the psychosocial determinants of aberrant driving behaviours have investigated the influence of sex roles, gender stereotypes (Degraeve, Granié, Pravossoudovitch, & Lo Monaco, 2015;Granié, 2009;Özkan & Lajunen, 2005;Pravossoudovitch, Martha, Cury, & Granié, 2015;Sullman, Paxion, & Stephens, 2017) and that of such personality traits as aggressive behaviours (Lajunen, Parker, & Stradling, 1998), sensation seeking (Iversen & Rundmo, 2004;Ulleberg & Rundmo, 2003), empathy and conformity (Nordfjaern & Şimşekoğlu, 2014). More recently, Nordfjaern and colleagues have questioned the role of cultural factors in determining risky behaviours for both pedestrians (Nordfjaern & Şimşekoğlu, 2013;Nordfjaern & Zavareh, 2016) and drivers (Nordfjaern & Şimşekoğlu, 2014) in Middle East .…”

Driving offences can be a cause of road crashes and their psychosocial determinants have been studied using different approaches. Recent studies have found that cultural values, transposed at individual level through the vertical-horizontal individualism-collectivism model, may be relevant for understanding offending behaviours in drivers and pedestrians. Within this framework, we propose to test these relationships in a sample of French drivers (N = 666). In addition, we aim to explore the role of situational factors and gender differences, as potential moderators for the effects of individualist and collectivist values on offending behaviours. In an online survey experiment, drivers had to evaluate their probabilities of committing several driving offences in three driving situations, manipulating traffic density level and the probability of being caught by the authorities. Statistical analyses showed that, compared to a control situation, probabilities of offending were lower in the heavy traffic condition and even lower in the high probability of being caught condition. Probabilities of offending were also higher for men than women and were positively predicted by vertical individualism. However, the main effects suggested that horizontal collectivism and vertical individualism predicted posit offences for men only, depending on situation for vertical individualism. These results were qualified by significant interactions between driving situation, gender and vertical individualism and between gender and horizontal collectivism. These findings are discussed in relation to gender differences in value expression. Perspectives to improve the relevance of the value framework mobilized, the importance to consider situational context to understand driving offending behaviours and safety implications are also discussed.

“…However, due to the complexity of the human behavior mechanism, there is still a lack of driving behavior prediction algorithms that can be applied to vehicle intelligence systems. In recent years, researchers argued that driver’s affective factors have close associations with road accidents [ 10 , 11 ]. Psychologists now widely accept that it is impossible for people to think or perform an action without engaging their emotional system, at least unconsciously [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Joining worldwide efforts to understand the relationship between driving emotion and behavior, the current study aimed at examining the influence of emotions on driving intention transition. In Study 1, taking a car-following scene as an example, we designed the driving experiments to obtain the driving data in drivers’ natural states, and a driving intention prediction model was constructed based on the HMM. Then, we analyzed the probability distribution and transition probability of driving intentions. In Study 2, we designed a series of emotion-induction experiments for eight typical driving emotions, and the drivers with induced emotion participated in the driving experiments similar to Study 1. Then, we obtained the driving data of the drivers in eight typical emotional states, and the driving intention prediction models adapted to the driver’s different emotional states were constructed based on the HMM severally. Finally, we analyzed the probabilistic differences of driving intention in divers’ natural states and different emotional states, and the findings showed the changing law of driving intention probability distribution and transfer probability caused by emotion evolution. The findings of this study can promote the development of driving behavior prediction technology and an active safety early warning system.
