abstract="Examined the relation between anonymity and aggressive driving behavior. A confederate driver pulled in front of cars at a stoplight. When the light turned green, the confederate driver remained stationary and recorded the S's horn-honking behavior for 12 sec. Ss were driving convertibles or 4 × 4s with the tops down (identifiable condition) or up (anonymous condition). The 30 Ss in the anonymous condition displayed significantly shorter horn-honking latencies, longer horn-honking durations, and more frequent horn honks than did the 30 Ss in the identifiable condition. The significant effect of the anonymity variable obtained only when the 3 dependent measures were combined and analyzed with a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Results suggest that anonymity facilitates aggression.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
