Abstract

According to the two-component view of attitude, attitudes have both affective and cognitive components, and affective-cognitive consistency is an attitude strength construct, which may contribute to the inconsistent findings of the predictive effect of attitudes on driving behaviors in previous studies. Thus, this study aimed to explore the role of overall attitudes and affective-cognitive consistency in predicting driving behaviors. The results showed that affective-cognitive consistency plays different roles in different driving behaviors. For driving behaviors with high enforcement (speeding and seat-belt wearing), affective-cognitive consistency significantly moderated the predictive effect of overall attitudes on the frequency of driving behaviors, showing a protective effect on risky driving behaviors and a facilitative effect on positive driving behaviors. For driving behaviors with low enforcement (distracted driving), affective-cognitive consistency significantly predicted distracted driving frequency. The results suggest the need to focus on drivers’ affective-cognitive consistency when administering intervention programs to promote safe driving.

这很危险，但我喜欢：情感认知一致性如何影响驾驶行为

根据态度双成分观，态度既有情感成分，也有认知成分，而情感-认知一致性是一种态度强度结构，这可能是导致以往研究中态度对驾驶行为预测作用结果不一致的原因。因此，本研究旨在探讨整体态度和情感认知一致性在预测驾驶行为中的作用。结果表明，情感认知一致性在不同驾驶行为中起着不同的作用。对于高执法驾驶行为（超速驾驶和系安全带），情感认知一致性显著调节了整体态度对驾驶行为频率的预测作用，对危险驾驶行为表现出保护作用，对积极驾驶行为表现出促进作用。对于执行力低的驾驶行为（分心驾驶），情感认知一致性显著预测分心驾驶频率。结果表明，在实施干预计划以促进安全驾驶时，需要关注驾驶员的情感-认知一致性。
