Subject(s): Online resources: Dissertation note: Diss. Leidschendam : Stichting Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek Verkeersveiligheid, SWOV, 2006 Abstract: Emotions are relevant for driving behaviour, because driving is a complex and risky task, and the state of the driver is crucial for the safe performance of this task. Systematic research on the process of emotion elicitation and the consequences of emotions for driving related performance and road safety is, however, scarce. This thesis aims to clarify the role of emotions in traffic. Two questions are central: which are the aspects in the interaction between person and task environment that elicit emotion, and which are the consequences of emotions for driving related performance and road safety.
