We motivate and describe a holistic comfort model to account for the impact of driver and passenger activities on their comfort experiences in vehicles. The proposed model is an expansion of existing ones and postulates two dimensions of comfort that are linked with cognitive moderation processes toward holistic experience: physiological comfort combines multiple physiological experiences such as thermal, auditory, and postural comfort and is moderated via cognitive processes of focusing or masking. On the other hand, emotional comfort reflects the experience of activities and is moderated by cognitive appraisal processes.
Using this model, we derive three hypotheses that are examined.
In a driving simulator study, 32 participants assessed holistic and physiological comfort while driving under various conditions.
The participant responses on various comfort questions loaded on two main principal components that closely resemble the distinction between holistic and physiological comfort. Also, the driving and non-driving activity types seemed to have a different impact on holistic versus physiological comfort as predicted by our model.
我们提出了一个整体舒适模型,旨在解释驾驶员和乘客在车内的活动对其舒适体验的影响。所提出的模型是对现有模型的扩展,并假设了舒适体验的两个维度,这两个维度与认知调节过程有关:生理舒适结合了多种生理体验,如热舒适、听觉舒适和姿势舒适,并通过聚焦或屏蔽等认知过程进行调节。另一方面,情感舒适反映了活动体验,并受到认知评价过程的调节。
使用该模型,我们得出了三个假设,并进行了检验。
在驾驶模拟器研究中,32 名参与者在不同条件下驾驶时评估了整体舒适度和生理舒适度。
参与者对各种舒适度问题的回答加载到两个主要的主成分上,这与整体舒适度和生理舒适度的区别非常相似。此外,正如我们的模型所预测的那样,驾驶和非驾驶活动类型似乎对整体舒适度和生理舒适度有不同的影响。
