“…This finding is not surprising as such a weak or non-significant relationship between driving anger and error has also been reported in previous studies (González-Iglesias et al, 2012;Berdoulat et al, 2013). In fact, driving errors seem to be more related to the anxiety (Shahar, 2009) or stress (Kontogiannis, 2006) experienced by drivers, rather than driving anger.…”

“…findings that suggest drivers with high trait anxiety may be more dangerous (Pourabdian & Azmoon, 2013;Shahar, 2009;Dula et al, 2010), this may not detect all manifestations of anxiety (Taylor & Sullman, 2009), nor may it necessarily reflect actual on-road behaviours.…”

“…It is important to assess whether similar evidence is found within more realistic depictions of driving environments. It may also be important, in terms of road safety 8 implications, to investigate anxiety in terms of personality; it is within this context that studies have suggested anxiety makes a driver more dangerous (Dula et al, 2010;Panayiotou, 2015;Shahar, 2009). …”

A Laboratory Study of Behavioural and Physiological Responses to Different Driving Environments.Barnard, M.P*., & Chapman, P. School of Psychology, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom AbstractResearch into anxiety and driving has indicated that those higher in anxiety are potentially more dangerous on the roads. However, simulator findings suggest that conclusions are mixed at best. It is possible that anxiety is becoming confused with fear, which has a focus on more clearly defined sources of threat from the environment, as opposed to the internal, thought-related process associated with anxiety. This research aimed to measure feelings of fear, as well as physiological and attentional reactions to increasing levels of accident risk.Trait anxiety was also measured to see if it interacted with levels of risk or its associated reactions. Participants watched videos of driving scenarios with varying levels of accident risk and had to rate how much fear they would feel if they were the driver of the car, whilst skin conductance, heart rate, and eye movements were recorded. Analysis of the data suggested that perceptions of fear increased with increasing levels of accident risk, and skin conductance reflected this pattern. Eye movements, when considered alongside reaction times, indicated different patterns of performance according to different dangerous situations.These effects were independent of trait anxiety, which was only associated with higher rates of disliking driving and use of maladaptive coping mechanisms on questionnaires. It is concluded that these results could provide useful evidence in support for training-based programs; it may also be beneficial to study trait anxiety within a more immersive driving environment and on a larger scale. 2Keywords: anxiety, fear, emotion, environmental arousal, somatic marker.
