Abstract

This study aims to test the sensitivity of five personality tendencies to levers of carpooling to work. We launched a large-scale online questionnaire targeting daily car drivers in France (N = 1,134 respondents) to test the link between levers to engage in carpooling (environmental awareness, confidence in others, relationship to time, economic gain and easy access to carpooling) and five personality tendencies of car drivers’ (feeling of ecological responsibility/ FER, social affinity as a measure of level of extraversion/ SA, saving time tendency to individual with a time-pressure sensitivity/ ST, sensitivity to reward/ SR, and technophilia/ TECH). Respondents were questioned about their home-to-work carpooling habits and motives, their preferences according to some carpooling options, their assessments of a new carpooling to work concept and their projected use of it. The results show a strong link between the five chosen personality tendencies and carpooling practice, perception and overall acceptance, except for the sensitivity to reward (SR). Economic gain is a strong lever for the entire population, and this must be maintained for all and rendered more visible. Our results also reveal that a carpooling to work service, adaptable to all the driver’s requests at each step of carpooling would meet the various needs of the different personality tendencies. In addition, a carpooling application must allow adaptability to specific personality tendencies (FER, ST, SA as a minimum) regarding the choices to be made at each stage of carpooling, while ensuring user-friendliness to facilitate access to those who are least comfortable with new technologies.

性格对拼车上班倾向的影响

本研究旨在测试五种人格倾向对拼车上班杠杆的敏感性。我们针对法国的日常汽车驾驶员（1,134 名受访者）进行了大规模在线问卷调查，以检验参与拼车的杠杆（环境意识、对他人的信任、与时间的关系、经济收益和拼车的便利性）与汽车驾驶员的五种人格倾向（生态责任感/ FER、作为外向程度衡量标准的社会亲和力/ SA、对时间压力敏感的个人的节约时间倾向/ ST、对奖励的敏感性/ SR 和技术癖/ TECH）之间的联系。受访者被问及他们从家到单位的拼车习惯和动机、他们对一些拼车选择的偏好、他们对新的拼车上班概念的评估以及他们对这一概念的预计使用情况。结果表明，除了对奖励的敏感性（SR）之外，所选的五种个性倾向与拼车做法、看法和总体接受度之间存在密切联系。经济收益对所有人来说都是一个强有力的杠杆，必须对所有人都保持这一杠杆作用，并使其更加明显。我们的研究结果还表明，拼车上班服务如果能在拼车的每个步骤中适应所有司机的要求，就能满足不同性格倾向的各种需求。此外，拼车应用程序必须能够适应拼车每个阶段所做选择的特定个性倾向（至少是 FER、ST、SA），同时确保用户友好性，以方便那些最不适应新技术的人使用。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour focuses on the behavioural and psychological aspects of traffic and transport. The aim of the journal is to enhance theory development, improve the quality of empirical studies and to stimulate the application of research findings in practice. TRF provides a focus and a means of communication for the considerable amount of research activities that are now being carried out in this field. The journal provides a forum for transportation researchers, psychologists, ergonomists, engineers and policy-makers with an interest in traffic and transport psychology.
