Abstract

Social expectations significantly shape individual perceptions and behaviors and extend their influence to driving. We conducted two experimental studies to delineate the reciprocal influences of gender categories (male and female), gender roles (traditional masculinity and femininity), driving-related skills, and driving anxiety. Study 1 found that female portraits were associated with higher levels of driving anxiety, and feminine portraits were associated with safety skills. Higher levels of adherence to gender stereotypes associated with driving led to a stronger association between masculinity and perceptual-motor skills. Study 2 confirmed these findings, indicating that safety-oriented portraits were more likely to be perceived as female and feminine, and perceptual-motor-oriented profiles were more likely to be perceived as male and masculine. Addressing these stereotypes is critical to promoting equitable attitudes toward driving skills, regardless of gender.

告诉我你怎么开车，我就会告诉你你是谁：性别类别和角色对归因驾驶技能和焦虑的相互影响？

社会期望显著地塑造了个人的认知和行为，并将其影响扩展到驾驶。我们进行了两项实验研究，以描述性别类别（男性和女性）、性别角色（传统的男性气质和女性气质）、驾驶相关技能和驾驶焦虑的相互影响。研究1发现，女性肖像与更高水平的驾驶焦虑有关，女性肖像与安全技能有关。对驾驶的性别刻板印象的坚持程度越高，男性气质和感知运动技能之间的联系就越强。研究2证实了这些发现，表明以安全为导向的画像更容易被认为是女性和女性化的，而以感知运动为导向的画像更容易被认为是男性和男性化的。消除这些刻板印象对于促进对驾驶技能的公平态度至关重要，无论性别如何。

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.
