Zusammenfassung
This paper addresses the effect of social awareness on road rage in everyday driving situations. In the user study we conducted subjects experienced three everyday traffic situations. They where either enriched by information about the driver in front or no information was presented. The subject's interaction with the system was limited to angry comments, honking or showing a happy face. We found an effect of presentation condition on the reaction type: When displaying information that matched subject's personal preferences, more friendly reactions were observed than in the other conditions. The results of this study serve as a basis for a large-scale study in a social network.
