those psychological aspects that are important to consider in the context of behavior on the road:
1) Focus of attention: with moderate excitement, the volume of attention is balanced and flexible, with high excitement, there is a narrowing of attention, the driver focuses on one stimulus (for example, on the car in front of him) and ignores other stimuli (for example, traffic lights) – the phenomenon of “tunnel consciousness”.
2) Reaction speed: Moderate arousal improves reaction time, whereas excessive or low arousal promotes impulsivity or slowness, respectively.
3) Control of executive functions: Extreme levels of arousal impair the ability to control executive functions (planning, decision-making), leading to impulsive or aggressive behavior.
