Automobile Driving and Aggressive Behavior

Automobile driving and aggressive behavior have had an extensive association. Themes of dominance and territoriality have long been part of automobile driving, which has also involved flagrant assaultive actions. Recent episodes of roadway violence in metropolitan areas have raised community concern about aggressive behavior in driving, although common beliefs about why such violence occurs can be seen as pseudoexplanations. Various themes in the psychology of aggression are presented as they pertain to automobile driving. Convergent factors in contemporary urban life that influence roadway aggression are discussed, and it is asserted that such behavior is more prevalent than commonly recognized

Aggression on Roadways

Aggression and the automobile have had a long standing association, yet research on aggressive behavior has neglected the roadway context. This chapter reviews exisdng work which has included archival analysis, field interview studies, personality research, and field experiments. Among the recurrent themes have been the relationship between aggressivity in driving to accident liability and to violence in the larger social context.. Validity issues in road aggression research are discussed, and a typology of roadway aggression is presented. The typology maps a range of contemporary forms, most of which have never been invesngated scientifically and have received sparse academic attention otherwise, despite having high soCial and scientific relevance. Disinhibiting influences that heighten the probability of roadway aggression are discussed

Commuter Stress

Everyone knows that being stuck in traffic is stressful, and few look forward to long commutes on congested roadways. But the negative effects of traffic congestion go beyond frustration and fatigue. Our research at UC Irvine since the late 1970s has discovered adverse health impacts of what we call "high impedance" commuting

Automobile Driving and Aggressive Behavior: Effects of Multiple Disinhibitory Influences

Automobiles and aggressive behavior have an extensive association, ranging from themes of dominance and territoriality to flagrant assaultive actions. A broad range of aggressive behaviors in the context of driving can be understood in terms of the disinhibition of aggression through multiple influence channels. The paper discusses the disinhibitory factors of physiological arousal, traffic context, cognitive scripts, and contagion mechanisms. Some results of two preliminary surveys concerning roadway aggression (victimization and perpetration) are presented which suggest that such occurrences are more prevalent than commonly acknowledged.&nbsp
