LED lights, tinted windows and tuning are not just ways to improve the car's performance and make it look interesting. These are moments that reflect your personality. Psychologists are sure that by car you can easily determine the nature of its owner.
Some cars are designed to attract attention. This is primarily sports cars, very expensive VIP class or bright red. Driving such a car will surely attract the interest of others to you, only it is not known what - with positive emotions (enthusiasm, approval, respect) or negative (envy, ridicule). "But your determination to get behind the wheel of a sports car shows that you are willing to take a chance and get a dose of negativity from others," said Susan M. Henney, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Houston Center. Studies have shown that red and sports cars are often intercepted by the police, and they are also targeted at thieves. Therefore, their owners seem to say that the attention of others is worth those risks.
Professor SM Hanni says that people buy such transport for the convenience and safety of the family, so that there is room for the transportation of a significant amount of things during travel. Most likely, you have three or more children, lots of relatives and a favorite dog, and you are ready to carry them all with joy in your car. "And the more people fit in the car, the more comfortable you feel," adds Susan. The driver seems to be telling the world: "This is my ship, and I'm his captain." The safety of passengers depends on me! "
The newest headlights use LED technology to make the light more vivid. Such lights shine even more powerful than halogen, while consuming much less energy. Although this can be a boon on dark roads, it can also be dangerous, as they dazzle other drivers. LED lights have become such a problem that some regions tend to ban them on a legislative level. Using these lights, you simply tell everyone around: "My comfort is more important than your safety." This approach demonstrates a real lack of empathy and anxiety about others, the psychologist believes.
These are very popular stickers with images of family members and pets. The drivers place them directly on the car's glass, but this does not interfere with the review and traffic safety. These stickers look great, improve the mood and the driver, and passengers, and all others.
Most security experts agree: these stickers are still dangerous. They demonstrate your family composition, the names of your children, their age, their hobbies and even your dog's name - all the information that criminals can potentially use. Nevertheless, despite the warnings of specialists, parents continue to strengthen them in a conspicuous place. What for? "It's a way to establish yourself in the social hierarchy, declare your status and show others that you are superior to them," says the psychologist.
SUVs literally dominate the road, taking up more space than most cars, and raising the driver above the others, revealing a broad view. If you drive an SUV, then, most of all in life you care about your safety, because jeeps more often than other cars "survive" in accidents on the roads.
According to the psychologist Nicole Cutts of the Business Community, if your car is full of different things - mail, magazines, food packaging, banks, old socks and other trifles, this is a physical manifestation of your mental state. And this mess says that you are not picked up and busy, busy, busy or just do not care about health and cleanliness.
