Abstract(s)
Na presente comunicação abordam-se os efeitos e o
impacto da ansiedade no comportamento e rendimento
motor, com especial enfoque para o papel da ansiedade
no comportamento dos motociclistas. Apesar do motociclo
ser, na maior parte das vezes, uma fonte de sentimentos
eufóricos, de prazer, de poder pessoal e de a
velocidade provocar emoções positivas e entusiasmo
nos condutores, pode também despertar sensações disfóricas,
de origem ansiogénica, nos motociclistas.
Tendo em conta que os acidentes de “motos” aumentam
de ano para ano, constituindo um problema
preocupante para a Psicologia do Tráfego devido às
suas taxas de implicação e de gravidade dos acidentes;
e tendo em consideração as vicissitudes da ansiedade e
da condução de motociclos, são igualmente analisadas
algumas implicações teóricas e práticas para a prevenção
dos acidentes nos veículos de duas rodas.
This paper addresses the impact and outcome of anxiety in behaviour and motor performance, with special emphasis given to the role of anxiety in the behaviour of motorcyclists. Despite the motorcycle being, most times, a source of euphoric, pleasurable feelings, providing a sense of personal fulfilment, with speed in itself creating positive emotions and enthusiasm amongst the riders, it can also awaken anxiogenic-based dysphoric sensations in motorcyclists. Considering the increasing number of motorcycle accidents year upon year, seen by Traffic Psychology as a serious problem due to both the implication rate and the usual gravity of the accidents themselves, and given the danger inherent to the combination of anxiety and motorcycle riding, some theoretical and practical implications on the prevention of two-wheel traffic accidents will also be analysed.
