Road Rage
The point of this research project is to understand how people experience road rage. Typically, road rage is an experience people live through with others when they are in the process of traveling and, in this way, it is characteristically an experience that happens between people.
By clicking on the ‘create my road rage story’ button below, you will be directed to a consent to participate acknowledgement followed immediately by questions designed to collect your road rage experience.
Other participants will not be able to view your responses. Only the Principal Investigator and research team members will have access to the data. Responses from all participants will be analyzed together to develop an understanding of how people live through an experience of road rage.
To prevent potential identification, any names of people or places will be removed and replaced with pseudonyms. You will not be asked to provide your name or any contact information during this study. You will not be contacted for the purposes of this study. This research is concerned with how the experience of road rage is understood, not who is having the experience.
Based on a specific experience that you have had with road rage, please answer four road rage lived experience questions. Don’t worry about providing too much information. The more detail you can provide about your road rage experience, the better! On average, stories will take 10 to 20 minutes to create.
