Abstract
Driving, as a multifaceted daily task, is intricately intertwined with our emotional states. However, the integration of affective states into driving research is conspicuously lacking in the existing literature. The primary goal of this study is to systematically examine and elucidate the relationship between these affective states and driving actions, with a particular focus on driving behavior. The review synthesizes findings from 21 articles that specifically address the interplay between emotional states and driving behaviors. Despite the complexity and variability of the relationship between emotional states and driving, the review highlights that both positive and negative affect are associated with risky and reckless driving behaviors. The synthesis of findings presented in this review serves as a comprehensive and holistic overview of affect-integrated driving studies. Based on the findings, future intervention techniques, such as in-vehicle assistance systems, could be developed to assist drivers in managing their emotional states while driving.
