We examined the interactive effects of task load and music tempo on cognition, affect, cardiac response, and safety-relevant behaviour during simulated driving. Using a counterbalanced, within-subjects design, participants ( = 46) were exposed to fast-, slow-, and no-music conditions at high and low loads in a high-grade simulator. Task load had the most salient effect across a broad swath of variables. For core affect, the Load × Music Condition interaction showed that, under high load, affective arousal scores were higher in the fast-tempo condition vs. slow. A main effect of tempo emerged for the HRV index of SDNN, with fast-tempo music eliciting lower scores than both slow- and no-music conditions. Behavioural data showed a main effect of tempo for risk ratings, with fast-tempo music eliciting the highest scores for a traffic-light trigger. Our findings indicate that drivers in high-load, urban environments should exercise caution in their use of fast-tempo music. We examined the interactive effects of task load and music tempo in simulated driving (urban and highway). Cognition, mood, cardiac response, and driving behaviour were assessed. Participants exhibited more risky behaviours in response to fast-tempo music. Drivers should exercise caution in their use of up-tempo music in urban settings.
我们研究了任务负荷和音乐节奏对模拟驾驶过程中的认知、情绪、心脏反应和与安全相关行为的交互影响。使用平衡、被试内设计，参与者（n=46）在高级模拟器中处于高、低负荷下的快、慢和无音乐条件下进行暴露。任务负荷对广泛的变量具有最显著的影响。对于核心情绪，负荷×音乐条件交互表明，在高负荷下，快节奏条件下的情感唤醒评分高于慢节奏条件。音乐节奏对 HRV 指数 SDNN 有一个主效应，快节奏音乐比慢节奏和无音乐条件产生的分数都低。行为数据表明，音乐节奏对风险评分有一个主效应，快节奏音乐引起交通信号灯触发的评分最高。我们的研究结果表明，在高负荷、城市环境中驾驶的驾驶员应谨慎使用快节奏音乐。我们研究了任务负荷和音乐节奏对模拟驾驶（城市和高速公路）的交互影响。评估了认知、情绪、心脏反应和驾驶行为。参与者对快节奏音乐表现出更冒险的行为。驾驶员在城市环境中应谨慎使用快节奏音乐。
