Key result
Induced anger in 24 drivers significantly increased risk-taking propensity and evoked larger P300 amplitudes during high-risk choices compared to baseline.

May heighten road safety concerns with acute anger; hypothesis-generating for emotional regulation trials in drivers.
Does anger induction increase risk-taking propensity and alter P300 amplitude in drivers?
Anger increases risk-taking propensity in drivers, which is reflected in altered neural responses (P300 amplitude).
Li et al. (2019) studied Drivers (n=24). Induced anger state vs. Baseline state was evaluated on Risk-taking propensity (percentage of high-risk choices minus low-risk choices) and P300 amplitude. Induced anger in 24 drivers significantly increased risk-taking propensity and evoked larger P300 amplitudes during high-risk choices compared to baseline.
