Frustration is a complex emotional phenomenon subject to various triggers and manifested through multifaceted behavioral and affective responses. This study investigates the relationship between distinct frustration-inducing situations encountered during driving and the corresponding affective responses, focusing on the mediating role of behavioral dimensions. A total of 2244 participants answered a questionnaire on driving behavior, the likelihood of experiencing frustration in various driving situations, and affective responses in frustrating situations. Latent factors and triggers of frustration were determined using Exploratory Factor Analysis, and their relationship to driving behavior was assessed using Multiple Regression Analysis. We identified four primary clusters of situations that could trigger frustration in drivers: Unpredictable Experiences, Achievement Obstacles, Distress Elicitors and External Distractions. The emotions accompanying driver frustration clustered into four distinct dimensions: Irritation, Anxiety, Boredom, and Embarrassment. While anxiety-related emotions were central in all frustrating responses (i.e., all four clusters), the other emotion dimensions were specifically related to some of the frustration clusters. Additionally, different types of frustrating situations were characterized by different emotional responses. Furthermore, having more lapses was related to heightened frustration levels. Unraveling the complexities of frustration may aid in the further further development of traffic safety by attempting to eliminate frequent frustration triggers in driving situations.
挫折是一种复杂的情绪现象，会受到各种触发因素的影响，并通过多方面的行为和情感反应表现出来。本研究调查了驾驶过程中遇到的不同挫折诱发情境与相应情感反应之间的关系，重点关注行为维度的中介作用。共有2244名参与者回答了一份关于驾驶行为、在各种驾驶情境中经历挫折的可能性以及在挫折情境中的情感反应的问卷。使用探索性因素分析确定挫折的潜在因素和触发因素，并使用多元回归分析评估它们与驾驶行为的关系。我们确定了可能引发驾驶员挫折感的四种主要情境类别：不可预测的经历、成就障碍、困扰引发因素和外部干扰。伴随驾驶员挫折感的情绪分为四个不同维度：愤怒、焦虑、无聊和尴尬。虽然与焦虑相关的情绪在所有挫折反应（即所有四个类别）中都很核心，但其他情绪维度与某些挫折类别具体相关。此外，不同类型的挫折情境具有不同的情绪反应特征。此外，失误较多与更高的挫折水平相关。通过试图消除驾驶情境中频繁出现的挫折触发因素来解开挫折的复杂性，可能有助于交通安全的进一步发展。
