Are subjective outcomes a “missing link” between driving stress and risky driving behaviors of commuters? Assessing the case of a LMIC
2023, Safety ScienceCitation Excerpt :There is consistent evidence on the association between driving stress and impaired driving performance (Useche et al., 2021b; 2017; Matthews, & Desmond, 2001). Furthermore, in the field of transit psychology, driving stress constitutes the most documented predictor of both psychological strain (Ding et al., 2014; Taylor, 2011) and general fatigue (Matthews, 2002; Matthews, & Desmond, 2001, 2002), that can be understood for this study as negative subjective outcomes. However, it is still not clear whether stress-related subjective outcomes (e.g. psychological strain and fatigue) are mediating mechanisms in the association between driving stress and performance outcomes such as risky driving behaviors (i.e., errors and traffic violations) (see hypothesis 3 in Fig. 1).
Investigating sex, masculinity and femininity in relation to impulsive driving and driving anger expression
2021, Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and BehaviourCitation Excerpt :At the same time, an additional 30–40% of accidents are resulting from the interactions of human factors with vehicular and environmental factors (Lewin, 1982). Since demographic factors (e.g., sex, age), personality traits (e.g., impulsiveness, aggression, hostility) and affective factors (e.g., driver anger) have been associated with various driving outcomes (Hennessy, 2011; Taylor, 2011), it is necessary to clarify the precise effects of person-related variables on road safety. Supporting this argument, different studies have examined various factors like impulsive driving (e.g. Bıçaksız, 2015; Mirón-Juárez, García-Hernández, Ochoa-Ávila, & Díaz-Grijalva, 2020), driving anger expression (e.g. Deffenbacher, 2009) and gender roles (e.g. Özkan & Lajunen 2005a) in relation to road safety.
Suicide by crashing into a heavy vehicle: A one-year follow-up study of professional drivers
2020, Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and BehaviourCitation Excerpt :In general, there is wide variation in the prevalence of posttraumatic symptoms, the symptoms tend to decrease with time, and successful rehabilitation seems to depend on the quality of support the drivers receive. Although there are no studies focusing specifically on the experiences of truck drivers following a suicide by crashing into their vehicle, it is well known that those involved in road crashes can suffer chronic psychological dysfunction, which includes depressive, anxious and phobic symptoms, as well as reduced social contact, pleasure from leisure activities and work capacity (Taylor, 2011). Posttraumatic stress disorder is common in road crashes especially following a fatality (Heron-Delaney, Kenardy, Charlton, & Matsuoka, 2013).
