A Longitudinal Study Examining The Priming Effects of Music on Driving Anger, State
Anger, and Negative-Valence Thoughts
Abstract
Aggressive driving is a serious problem throughout the United States (e.g., Mizell, 1997;
Tasca, 2001). Much of the literature addressing this phenomenon examines factors such
as demographics (e.g., Arnett, 1994), personality characteristics (e.g., Deffenbacher,
Huff, Lynch, Oetting, & Salvatore, 2000), and environmental circumstances (e.g., Turner,
Layton, & Simons, 1975) as aggressive driving predictors. Using Berkowitz’s (1993)
priming effects theory, the present study examines the effects of music (non-violent
music with non-violent lyrics, violent music with no lyrics, and violent music with
violent lyrics) on college students’ negative-valence thoughts, driving anger, and state
anger, using a longitudinal experimental design study. Within-subjects effects analyses
for each of the four music conditions indicated a significant quadratic contrast for driving
anger, negative-valence thoughts, and state anger. Additionally, results identify predictors
of driving anger along with a discussion of implications for communication researchers
and the radio broadcast industry.
