Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the stress effects of time pressure and induced driver-anger on driving performance. The participants in the four different stress conditions(i.e., control condition, time pressure, induced anger, and mixed condition where induced-anger and time pressure were combined) were asked to drive the driving simulator, and their driving performances(i. e., lane crossing, signal violation, speeding, and deviation form designated path) were measured as the dependent variable. The results can be summarized as followings. (1) Induced-anger alone and the mixed driver stresses tended to yield deteriorated driving performances as well as awareness for designated path, (2) Time pressure alone appeared to have only limited effect both on the driving and path awareness. And (3) the effects of induced-anger alone and the mixed condition on driving performance and path awareness did not show ant significant difference. The results of the present study indicated that drivers' basic vehicle control and keeping awareness to destination could be affected differently by the types of driver stress.

본 연구는 운전 수행 중에 실험적으로 유도된 시간압력과 운전자의 분노가 운전 수행에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 운전시뮬레이션 방법을 통해 살펴보고자 수행되었다. 이를 위해 네 가지의 실험 조건(통제 조건, 시간압력 조건, 분노유도 조건, 그리고 시간압력과 분노유도가 혼합된 조건)에 따라 운전자들이 보이는 운전 수행의 여러 측면들(침선침범, 신호무시, 속도유지 실패 및 경로이탈)을 분석하여 비교하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 일반적으로, 아무런 스트레스가 주어지지 않았던 통제 조건에 비해 유도된 분노에 의한 스트레스나 시간압력과 분노가 혼합된 형태의 스트레스에 의해 실험참가자들의 차량 통제 수행이 저하되었으나, (2) 시간압력만 주어질 경우, 통제집단에 비해 속도유지 실패의 빈도는 더 많았으나 다른 종속치들에 대해서는 통제집단과 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그리고 (3) 분노만 유도된 조건과 분노와 시간압력이 모두 유도된 조건 사이에는 모든 종속측정치들에서 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 본 연구 결과를 전체적으로 고려해 보면, 시간압력에 의한 스트레스와 유도된 분노에 의한 스트레스가 운전 수행에 차별적으로 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.
