Abstract/Summary
The current study looked into aggression-triggering road cues, the manifest driving behavior after exposure to them and the mediating role of resilience within the setting of car driving. The goal of the study was to examine the role of resilience in frustrating and difficult driving situations, the role of aggression-triggering road cues, and the exploration of concepts such as the aggression-frustration model and manifest driving behavior, and their relationship with resilience as a factor. Participants were selected based on specific criteria. Using a combination of two scales to form a questionnaire, 10 drivers were selected for in-depth interviews with the goal of enrichment of the knowledge with regards to the driving experience of an individual in the Philippine setting. Drivers from each end of the aggression spectrum, 5 from the low and 5 from the high extremes were selected and interviewed about their driving experiences. The results study not only showed that resilience is present in the driving setting, but also that emotional regulation, the individual's capacity for coping behavior on the roadways, and the possibility that an individual's frequency of driving may affect their perception of the activity. Between the two aggression level groups it was found that the previously mention attributes could be more significant in the driving setting than previously assumed.
