Negativity Bias in Dangerous Drivers.
The behavioral and cognitive characteristics of dangerous drivers differ significantly from those of safe drivers. However, differences in emotional information processing have seldom been investigated. Previous studies have revealed that drivers with higher anger/anxiety trait scores are more likely to be involved in crashes and that individuals with higher anger traits exhibit stronger negati...
متن کاملNegativity Bias, Negativity Dominance, and Contagion
We hypothesize that there is a general bias, based on both innate predispositions and experience, in animals and humans, to give greater weight to negative entities (e.g., events, objects, personal traits). This is manifested in 4 ways: (a) negative potency (negative entities are stronger than the equivalent positive entities), (b) steeper negative gradients (the negativity of negative events g...
متن کاملPreparing drivers for dangerous situations
Shared control (also known as continuous haptic guidance or haptically active controls) has recently been introduced in car driving. With shared control, the driver receives continuous force feedback on the gas pedal or steering wheel, so that human and machine conduct the driving task simultaneously. Experiments in driving simulators have shown that shared control reduces control variability a...
متن کاملHow Dangerous Are Drinking Drivers?
We present a methodology for measuring the risks posed by drinking drivers that relies solely on readily available data on fatal crashes. The key to our identification strategy is a hidden richness inherent in twocar crashes. Drivers with alcohol in their blood are seven times more likely to cause a fatal crash; legally drunk drivers pose a risk 13 times greater than sober drivers. The external...
متن کاملA dangerous bias.
A dangerous bias Sir, In their recently published paper (Domar et al., 2013), the authors' conclusion that 'there is little evidence of benefit from the antide-pressants prescribed for the majority of women of childbearing age—and there is ample evidence of risk', is based on a biased reading of the literature. Rather than including a balanced analysis of the studies on the subject, they cite f...
