"Raymond Novaco, an associate of professor of social ecology at the
University of Callifornia at Irvine, his studies show that there are few
people who get stressed out while driving. Greenwald states,
"automobiles often are marketed to appeal to our aggressive instincts and
our drives for power, freedom, and self-assertion. We step into a
'high-performance automotive machine' and expect to dominate. And
dominace menas controlling a chunk of territory- in this case our car and
it immediate vicinity. When either is threatened, we can react like
territorial animals, snarling and making aggressive gestures."
