Introducing a Multivariate Model for Predicting Driving Performance 99 4. Introducing a Multivariate Model for Predicting Driving Performance: The Role of Driving Anger and Personal Characteristics This article was submitted to the Journal of Safety Research in October, 2012. Abstract Maladaptive driving is seen as one important source of self-inflicted accidents. It is defined by high speeds, speeding violations and poor lateral control of the car. The literature suggests, that certain groups of drivers such as novice drivers, males, highly motivated drivers and those with a high frequency of experienced anger in traffic situations tend to show more maladaptive driving patterns than others. Remarkably, until today there is no coherent framework describing the relationship and distinct influences of those factors. We therefore conducted two studies with the aim of creating a multivariate model which combines those factors, describes their relationship and predicts driving performance more precisely. Each study had a different technique to elicit emotion and a different track design in order to explore the driving behaviour of the participants in potentially angerprovoking situations. Study one induced emotions with short film-clips. Study two confronted the participants with potentially anger-inducing traffic situations during the simulated drive. In both studies, participants who experienced high levels of anger showed higher speeds and a stronger longitudinal and lateral acceleration. Furthermore multiple linear regressions and path-models revealed that highly motivated male drivers displayed the same behaviour independent of their emotional state. The results indicate that anger and specific risk characteristics lead to a maladaptive change in important driving parameters and drivers in this group are prone to experience more anger while driving, which further worsens their driving performance.
