Abstract

Background

Driving anxiety can have deleterious effects not only on driving behavior, but also on life quality. The interaction between motor vehicle collision (MVC) experiences and driving anxiety has been studied from different standpoints. However, the comparison with other events triggering it has been scarcely considered. Objectives: To analyze the body manifestations and the driving cognitions related to the accident, social and panic concerns in people suffering from different levels of driving anxiety. Method: A total of 260 participants suffering from driving anxiety were included in a survey, including Driving Cognition Questionnaire and Body Sensation Questionnaire. Results: Panic attacks and criticisms are the most relevant onsets of driving anxiety, more than MVC. Only 11.4% of MVC victims considered it as the onset. People with MVC history showed lower scores in social concerns than people without MVC experience and neither the responsibility of the MVC nor the role (driver/passenger) seemed to have an impact on the anxiety level. Conclusions: Although the most relevant body sensations, heart palpitations and sweating, were the same in people with panic attack experiences and MVC victims, a discrimination of the emotions behind the concept of “driving anxiety” is desirable to clarify the psychological effects of different onsets.

不同发作期的驾驶焦虑的认知和身体表现

摘要

背景

驾驶焦虑不仅会对驾驶行为产生有害影响，还会对生活质量产生有害影响。已经从不同的角度研究了机动车碰撞 (MVC) 体验和驾驶焦虑之间的相互作用。然而，几乎没有考虑与触发它的其他事件的比较。目的：分析不同程度驾驶焦虑患者的身体表现和与事故、社交和恐慌相关的驾驶认知。方法：对260名患有驾驶焦虑症的参与者进行调查，包括驾驶认知问卷和身体感觉问卷。结果：恐慌发作和批评是驾驶焦虑最相关的发作，而不是 MVC。只有 11.4% 的 MVC 受害者认为这是发病。有 MVC 历史的人在社会关注方面的得分低于没有 MVC 经验的人，MVC 的责任和角色（司机/乘客）似乎都对焦虑水平没有影响。结论：虽然最相关的身体感觉、心悸和出汗在有惊恐发作经历的人和 MVC 受害者中是相同的，但对“驾驶焦虑”概念背后的情绪的区分是需要澄清不同发作的心理影响.
