Abstract

Gender difference in risk perception for overtaking was explored with respect to sensitivity, response bias, and reaction time. The results showed the followings. First, although male drivers showed higher response sensitivity and more lenient response bias than female drivers in overtaking judgment in general. this difference was prominent in straight lane and slow driving speed conditions than in curved lane or fast driving speed condition. Second, female drivers tended to show slower overtaking judgment than male drivers, especially in the conditions of straight lane and slow driving speed. Third, female drivers' reaction time in miss and correct rejection was slower than male drivers. These results suggested the necessity of considering physical condition of overtaking situation as well as various dependent measures such as response sensitivity, response bias and reaction time in understand gender difference in overtaking judgment.
