Introduction: Aggressive driving has been associated as one of the causes for crashes, sometimes with very serious consequences. The objective of this study is to investigate the possibility of identifying aggressive driving in car-following situations on motorways by simple jerk metrics derived from naturalistic data. Method: We investigate two jerk metrics, one for large positive jerk and the other for large negative jerk, when drivers are operating the gas and brake pedal, respectively. Results: The results obtained from naturalistic data from five countries in Europe show that the drivers from different countries have a significantly different number of large positive and large negative jerks. Male drivers operate the vehicle with significantly larger number of negative jerks compared to female drivers. The validation of the jerk metrics in identifying aggressive driving is performed by tailgating (following a leading vehicle in a close proximity) and by a violator/non-violator categorization derived from self-reported questionnaires. Our study shows that the identification of aggressive driving could be reinforced by the number of large negative jerks, given that the drivers are tailgating, or by the number of large positive jerks, given that the drivers are categorized as violators. Practical applications: The possibility of understanding, classifying, and quantifying aggressive driving behavior and driving styles with higher risk for accidents can be used for the development of driver support and coaching programs that promote driver safety and are enabled by the vast collection of driving data from modern in-vehicle monitoring and smartphone technology. 相似文献

Validation of the propensity for angry driving scale 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Problem: This study examined the validity of the Propensity for Angry Driving Scale (PADS; DePasquale, J. P., Geller, E. S., Clarke, S. W., and Littleton, L. C. (2001). Measuring road rage: Development of the Propensity for Angry Driving Scale. Journal of Safety Research, 32, 1–16) in predicting aggressive driving. Method: The PADS and the Driving Anger Scale (DAS; Deffenbacher, J. L., Oetting, E. R., and Lynch, R. S. (1994). Development of a driving anger scale. Psychological reports, 74, 83–91.) were administered to 232 college student volunteers with measures of aggressive and risky driving. Results: Convergent and discriminant validity of the PADS were supported through relationships among measures of similar constructs. The PADS significantly (p<.05) predicted moving tickets, minor accidents, aggressive driving, risky driving, and maladaptive driving anger expression, above and beyond gender, miles driven per week, and trait anger. Discussion: Findings suggest that the PADS is a useful predictor of aggressive driving and has some advantages over the DAS. Impact on Industry: The PADS is an effective predictor of aggressive driving that complements established measures like the DAS and provides researchers with another valuable tool for the assessment of aggressive driving. 相似文献

PROBLEM: In Greece, there is a lack of scientific evidence on the relationship between aggressive behavior while driving and young drivers' involvement in car crashes; this study examined this potential relationship. METHODS: The randomly selected samples of 356 young drivers (18-24 years old) were interviewed through a questionnaire of self-reported car crash involvement, which mainly focused on their behavior on the road and the number of car crashes in which they had been involved. RESULTS: The statistical methods used were principal components analysis (PCA) and multiple regression analysis. Two factors relevant to aggressive driving emerged: (a) driving violations and (b) irritability while driving. The multivariate model suggested that driving just for fun (joyriding) and irritability were predictors of young drivers' involvement in car crashes. It was found that younger age was negatively associated with young drivers' involvement in car crashes. IMPACT ON GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY: The findings of this study can contribute in the formation of public policies aiming to prevent young drivers' car crashes. These findings can also be the starting point of some health promotion interventions trying to reduce car crashes and casualties on the road. Finally, the insurance companies may be interested in applying these findings into their field of interest. 相似文献

We conducted playback experiments to examine how parent tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) use nestling begging calls to distribute feedings to individuals within broods. In a first study, we used a paired-choice
test to determine if parents discriminated between the taped begging calls of nestlings deprived of food and those of nestlings
that had been recently fed. Our results showed that parents directed their first feeding attempt towards model nestlings near
speakers playing deprived calls significantly more often than to models near speakers playing fed calls. They also made more
feeding attempts overall to models with deprived calls. In the second study, we varied call rate and amplitude to examine
which call features parents might use to discriminate begging calls. Parents directed significantly more first feeding attempts
and more feeding attempts overall towards non-begging nestlings near speakers playing high call rates than to nestlings near
speakers playing low call rates. They did not, however, discriminate between calls differing in amplitude. Previous studies
have shown that parent birds use begging calls to regulate overall feeding rates to the brood. Our results suggest that parent
tree swallows also use begging calls when feeding individual nestlings and, in particular, prefer calls associated with increased
levels of nestling hunger.

Free-ranging adult male baboons give loud two-syllable wahoo calls during dawn choruses, interactions between groups, when chasing females, and in aggressive interactions with other males. Previous research has shown that the rate and duration of these contest wahoos are correlated with a males competitive ability: high-ranking males call more often, call at faster rates, and call for longer bouts than do low-ranking males. Here we report that acoustic features of wahoos also reveal information about male competitive ability. High-ranking males give wahoos with higher fundamental frequencies (F0) and longer hoo syllables. Within-subject analyses revealed that, as males fall in rank, the hoo syllables tend to shorten within a period of months. As males age and continue to fall in rank, F0 declines, hoo syllables shorten, and formant dispersion decreases. Independent of age and rank, within bouts of calling F0 declines and hoo syllables become shorter. Because wahoos are often given while males are running or leaping through trees, variation in these acoustic features may function as an indicator of a males stamina. The acoustic features of contest wahoos thus potentially allow listeners to assess a males competitive ability.Communicated by C. Nunn 相似文献

The elongated eye span of male Diopsid flies is a sexually selected character that scales positively with body size. Previously,
the duration of agonistic contests was found to increase as rival body size and eye span disparities decreased. Hence, along
with its role in mate choice, eye span seems to facilitate mutual assessment of rival size. However, such results are also
expected in the absence of rival assessment, when each individual persists according to its own size-dependent internal threshold.
Here, we reanalyze these contests to distinguish between these two hypotheses using two measures of size: body length and
eye span. Mutual assessment predicts that contest duration should increase with loser size and decrease with winner size.
In contrast, our results were more consistent with self-assessment: We found a positive relationship between loser size and
contest duration, whereas winner size did not affect contest duration. Thus, flies did not appear to assess the size of their
rivals, indicating that the mutual assessment function of eye span elongation may be less important than previously suspected.

Risky, aggressive, or emotional driving: addressing the need for consistent communication in research 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Problem. Researchers agree that a consistent definition for aggressive driving is lacking. Such definitional ambiguity in the literature impedes the accumulation of accurate and precise information, and prevents researchers from communicating clearly about findings and implications for future research directions. This dramatically slows progress in understanding the causes and maintenance factors of aggressive driving. Summary. This article critiques prevailing definitions of driver aggression and generates a definition that, if used consistently, can improve the utility of future research. Pertinent driving behaviors have been variably labeled in the literature as risky, aggressive, or road rage. The authors suggest that the term “road rage” be eliminated from research because it has been used inconsistently and has little probability of being clarified and applied consistently. Instead, driving behaviors that endanger or have the potential to endanger others should be considered as lying on a behavioral spectrum of dangerous driving. Three dimensions of dangerous driving are delineated: (a) intentional acts of aggression toward others, (b) negative emotions experienced while driving, and (c) risk-taking. Impact on Industry. The adoption of a standardized definition for aggressive driving should spark researchers to use more explicit operational definitions that are consistent with theoretical foundations. The use of consistent and unambiguous operational definitions will increase the precision of measurement in research and enhance authors' ability to communicate clearly about findings and conclusions. As this occurs over time, industry will reap benefits from more carefully conducted research. Such benefits may include the development of more valid and reliable means of selecting safe professional drivers, conducting accurate risk assessments, and creating preventative and remedial dangerous driving safety programs. 相似文献

Suppression pheromone and cockroach rank formation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Although agonistic behaviors in the male lobster cockroach (Nauphoeta cinerea) are well known, the formation of an unstable hierarchy has long been a puzzle. In this study, we investigate how the unstable
dominance hierarchy in N. cinerea is maintained via a pheromone signaling system. In agonistic interactions, aggressive posture (AP) is an important behavioral
index of aggression. This study showed that, during the formation of a governing hierarchy, thousands of nanograms of 3-hydroxy-2-butanone
(3H-2B) were released by the AP-adopting dominant in the first encounter fight, then during the early domination period and
that this release of 3H-2B was related to rank maintenance, but not to rank establishment. For rank maintenance, 3H-2B functioned
as a suppression pheromone, which suppressed the fighting capability of rivals and kept them in a submissive state. During
the period of rank maintenance, as the dominant male gradually decreased his 3H-2B release, the fighting ability of the subordinate
gradually developed, as shown by the increasing odds of a subordinate adopting an AP (OSAP). The OSAP was negatively correlated
with the amount of 3H-2B released by the dominant and positively correlated with the number of domination days. The same OSAP
could be achieved earlier by reducing the amount of 3H-2B released by the dominant indicates that whether the subordinate
adopts an offensive strategy depends on what the dominant is doing. 相似文献

Size assessment in simulated territorial encounters between male green frogs (Rana clamitans) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We examined the ability of male green frogs to assess the size of an opponent based on the dominant frequency of their advertisement
call, which is negatively correlated with size, using synthetic stimuli to simulate intruders of different sizes. In one field
playback experiment, we broadcast a pair of stimuli representing a small and a large male; in a second experiment, we broadcast
calls of a medium and a large male. In both experiments, males produced calls with significantly lower dominant frequencies
in response to each stimulus. Contrast analyses revealed that males lowered the dominant frequency of their calls more in
response to the large-male stimulus than in responses to the small- and medium-male stimuli. In the second experiment, males
also responded to the large-male stimulus by calling at higher rates. There were no differences in mean note duration or the
number of moves made toward or around the playback speaker in response to any stimulus. Thus, the frequency of an opponent's
calls elicits a differential modification of calling behavior, primarily in the form of differential dominant frequency alteration,
suggesting that males use dominant frequency to assess the size of opponents during aggressive encounters.
