Psychologists explain the mechanism of those who drunk driving

なぜ飲酒運転をする人が後を絶たないのか? そのメカニズムについて心理学者に聞いてみた

According to data from the National Police Agency, in 2020, there were 2522 traffic accidents due to drunk driving and 159 fatal accidents.Compared to 2019, the number of traffic accidents has decreased by 525, and the number of fatal accidents has decreased by 17.[Image 8 points] See the time zone, age, and situation in police data. Drunk driving accidents are strictly punished, flyers and videos that appeal to the danger of drunk driving, etc. In accidents due to drinking driving due to various initiatives.Is declining year by year.In addition, in Ibaraki Prefecture, where the number of deaths and deaths caused by drunk driving and the number of deaths in Japan for the second consecutive year in 2016 and 2017, the number of people in the whole year has increased the opportunity to drink at the end of the year, so from December 2021.They are cracking down on drunk driving around the downtown area in the prefecture and around the main roads.However, the danger of drunk driving should be widely conveyed due to news and police public relations activities, but why is the accident due to drunk driving?So, in this article, I asked Akira Hinata, a psychologist, about the psychological status of people who drunk and drunk, and measures to keep the temptation of drunk driving.

I tend to think that I'm okay with me

─ In the first place, it is illegal and there is a risk of accidents, but what kind of psychological situation do you drunk?That's because people who drive drunk tend to think that they are the only one.This can be explained in psychology with the self -centered psychological phenomenon of "cognitive bias", which is irrational due to intuition and prejudice based on his experience so far.These beliefs are called "confirmation bias", a type of cognitive bias (to justify convenient information and your own beliefs), but among them, it is very dangerous when the idea of "normal bias" is biased.is.A normal bias is to think that "only you are OK", and in the case of drunk driving, you believe that you can avoid danger even if you drunk driving.One of the characteristics of those who have fallen into "normal bias" is that optimism tends to be underlying and say that it is "OK" and move on to action.For example, no one usually runs on a suspension bridge made of rope that is likely to be cut.However, if there is a looseness somewhere in your feelings, you will do reckless things even if it is not realistic, and later you will notice your mistakes.On the other hand, people with strong ego have a strong belief, so they can take efforts and actions that do not cause drunk driving.Those who are well adapted to difficulties and threats are called "resilience."で し ょ う Some people who are drunk driving are overconfident that they are good because they are good at driving.Those who think that their driving is good is certainly sharp, and the movements that are not usually used tend to be quick.That said, if you overconce your driving skills, you tend to run for unreasonable interrupts, suddenly turning right left, and ignoring signals.I tend to think.One of the characteristics of these people is that they tend to have poor linguistic expressiveness and unbalanced.The difference between the two between operability and the linguistic, and the bias of intelligence is called "disk lepany", but I am not good at verbalizing my own behavior.In addition, people who are selfish, high impulse, and those who do not work with ephemeral and self -control tend to cause problems even during daily driving.Even if there is an accident due to drunk driving, "conscience" does not work as a stopper for these people.You are not interested in the impact on others that can be caused by your actions.Therefore, some people who drunk driving are likely to cause accidents because there is little awareness of trying to adhere to traffic rules in the first place.So, are there any measures that you can do to win the temptation of drunk driving?Drinking driving is an extremely dangerous behavior that your judgment is slow and you will not be able to drive as you want.If you drink alcohol, your willingness to comply with the law will weaken, and you will be able to take a quick action, saying, "It will be a little fine."And ultimately, they will take dangerous actions.Therefore, in order to win the temptation of drunk driving, it is necessary to have a strong awareness of "drunk driving is dangerous" in the first place.For example, it would be useful to always see articles, news, videos, etc. about drunk driving.Also, it is important to objectively detect the dangers of themselves, saying that even if you see a tragic accident caused by drunk driving, it is never a other person.。People are not always strong in their minds and body.It may be important to have such awareness because you have a weakness in yourself and you may lose temptation.Supervision ● Akira Hinata
