Anger is a key factor affecting drivers' subjective judgment and driving skills. The influence of anger on driving behavior has been widely studied, but there is a lack of comparative research under different lighting conditions. Through a driving simulation experiment, this paper studies the influence of anger on left-turn driving behavior under two light conditions day and night. In the experiment, 32 licensed participants were divided into two groups, one in emotional neutrality and the other in anger. Among them, the emotional state of anger is induced by a traffic-related video. The results showed that compared with daytime participants, participants at night had higher anger intensity, shorter gap acceptance, and post encroachment time (PET) when left-turn driving. In addition, compared with neutral emotion participants, angry participants tended to accept shorter gap acceptance and PET when turning left. This indicates that participants failed to respond correctly to left-turn driving behavior in a state of anger. However, the response of gender differences to situational driving anger was not affected by light conditions. The anger intensity of male participants during the day and night was higher than that of female participants, and the gap between acceptance and PETs during left-turn was shorter than that of female participants. This shows that male participants are more likely to produce high-intensity anger and are more likely to make dangerous driving decisions in a state of anger. This paper puts forward some suggestions on identifying anger and preventing angry driving.
愤怒是影响驾驶员主观判断和驾驶技能的关键因素。愤怒对驾驶行为的影响已经得到了广泛的研究，但在不同光照条件下的对比研究还比较缺乏。通过驾驶模拟实验，本文研究了在白天和夜间两种光照条件下愤怒对左转驾驶行为的影响。在实验中，32 名有驾照的参与者被分为两组，一组处于情绪中性，另一组处于愤怒状态。其中，愤怒的情绪状态是通过一个与交通相关的视频来诱发的。结果表明，与白天的参与者相比，夜间参与者的愤怒强度更高，左转时的间隙接受时间和后续侵入时间（PET）更短。此外，与情绪中性的参与者相比，愤怒的参与者在左转时更倾向于接受较短的间隙接受时间和 PET。这表明参与者在愤怒状态下无法正确应对左转驾驶行为。然而，性别差异对情境驾驶愤怒的反应不受光照条件的影响。白天和夜间男性参与者的愤怒强度高于女性参与者，左转时的间隙接受时间和 PET 之间的差距也比女性参与者小。这表明男性参与者在愤怒状态下更容易产生高强度的愤怒情绪，并且更有可能做出危险的驾驶决策。本文提出了一些识别愤怒和防止愤怒驾驶的建议。
