This study examines the effects of season and weather on mood (valence and activation) and travel satisfaction (measured by the Satisfaction with Travel Scale). Analyses are presented of 562 time-sampled morning commutes to work made by 363 randomly sampled people in three different Swedish cities asking them to use smartphones to report their mood in their home before and directly after the commutes. These reports as well as satisfaction with the commute obtained in summer and winter are linked to weather data and analyzed by means of fixed-effects regression analyses. The results reveal main effects of weather (temperature and precipitation) on mood and travel satisfaction (temperature, sunshine, precipitation, and wind speed). The effects of weather on mood and travel satisfaction differ depending on travel mode. Temperature leads to a more positive mood, wind leads to higher activation for public transport users, and sunshine leads to a more negative mood for cyclists and pedestrians. Sunshine and higher temperatures make travel more relaxed although not for cycling and walking, and rain and snow lead to a higher cognitive assessed quality of travel.
本研究考察季节和天气对情绪（效价和激活度）以及出行满意度（通过出行满意度量表衡量）的影响。对瑞典三个不同城市的363名随机抽样人员进行的562次定时抽样早晨上班通勤情况进行了分析，要求他们使用智能手机在通勤前和通勤后直接在家中报告自己的情绪。这些报告以及夏季和冬季获得的通勤满意度与天气数据相关联，并通过固定效应回归分析进行分析。结果揭示了天气（温度和降水）对情绪和出行满意度（温度、日照、降水和风速）的主要影响。天气对情绪和出行满意度的影响因出行方式而异。温度会带来更积极的情绪，风会使公共交通使用者的激活度更高，而日照会使骑自行车者和行人的情绪更消极。日照和较高温度会使出行更轻松，不过对骑自行车和步行者而言并非如此，而雨和雪会使出行的认知评估质量更高。
