Let me start by saying "Thank you, Captain Obvious." A British study tested volunteer drivers stuck in traffic peak hours and found that levels of stress in female drivers rose by 8.7%, while the levels of stress in male drivers increased by 60 per cent in the same circumstances. The test uses scientific methodology (measurement of the levels of hormones in saliva), so it is not like researchers have presents its compliments to the single digits or curses per mile. Of particular interest it is that the majority of volunteers not underlined feeling, while their bodies were clearly indicates otherwise. After 20 minutes in traffic, 66 per cent of female drivers and 50 per cent of male drivers does not intend to underline, still exhibits a measurable increase in the levels of the stress hormone.
Results in the short term of such stress may be aggressive or erratic driving, high blood pressure and greater agitation. In the longer term, stress is linked to the health conditions such as heart disease, which makes during rush hours of hazardous journey in more ways than one. A global study of the Tom Tom navigation company showed that 76 percent of respondents conducted daily, and 86 per cent considered that the traffic had a negative impact on their lives.
Why the difference in response between men and women? It is probably due to how our brain is connected. Women are more able to accept those things to her around, while men are more willing to change things around them; the inability to do so leads to greater agitation (and increased stress levels).
As someone who once carried a daily journey of 110 miles in the area of the city of New York, completely buy the results of this study. Not a day was to buy that I do not see under the steering wheel. Sometimes, my high blood pressure was caused by the detained traffic, while other times it was caused by inattentive drivers (usually by blocking the left lane, mobile phone stuck to the ear). I have invented thousands of derivatives of curses relating to fornication and scatological, but found this ineffective therapy. What your? Traffic stresses out you, and if so, how to tackle it?
