Re: .

je ne considère pas le gars comme un monstre, mais bien comme un pair

Mais lui ce conducteur, ne te considères probablement pas comme un pair, ni comme un humain d'ailleurs. Pour certains conducteurs nous ne sommes que des chicanes mobiles, surtout si on porte un casque et un gilet réflechissant et qu'ils ne sont pas eux-même cyclistes réguliers. Quelques études:

The effect of safety attire on perceptions of cyclist dehumanisation

Highlights

• 30 % of respondents (n = 563) considered cyclists less than fully human.
• Cyclists with helmets were perceived as less human compared to those without.
• Cyclists with safety vests and no helmets were perceived as least human.
• Dehumanisation related more to visible safety gear than obstruction of hair/eyes.
• Perceptions of dehumanisation varies based on respondent gender.

Dehumanization of cyclists predicts self-reported aggressive behaviour toward them: A pilot study

Highlights

• Conducted a pilot test of the dehumanization of cyclists.
• Around half of non-cyclists view cyclists as ‘less than fully human’
• Dehumanization measures were significantly correlated with aggression toward cyclists.
• ‘Dehumanization of cyclists’ concept deserves further research.

Car driver attitudes, perceptions of social norms and aggressive driving behaviour towards cyclists

Highlights

• This study finds that more negative attitudes towards cyclists relate to more aggressive driving towards cyclists.
• Perceived social norms concerning aggressive driving related to aggressive driving directed at cyclists.
• Attitudes towards risky driving did not influence aggressive driving towards cyclists.
• The influence of perceived social norms on driving behaviour was more pronounced in non-cyclist–drivers.
• The influence of attitudes towards cyclist on driving behaviour was more pronounced in cyclist–drivers.
