Do you ever get angry at people walking slowly in front of you? If you do, you might be suffering from Intermittent1 Explosive Disorder2 (IED). A University of Hawaii professor, Leon James, has studied people’s emotions as they walk along busy streets in New York City. He discovered that many people have “serious problems” when someone walking at a snail’s pace in front of them impedes3 their progress. Dr James, a psychology4 professor, called the condition “sidewalk rage”. James is developing a Pedestrian Aggressiveness Syndrome5 Scale (PASS) to measure the different levels of sidewalk rage. It measures 15 different behaviors that indicate sidewalk rage. These include muttering to yourself, bumping into other pedestrians6 on purpose, glaring, and walking too closely to other people.

你会不会因为行人走路慢而气愤?如果真是这样,你或许已经患上了冲动控制障碍。来自夏威夷大学的利昂·詹姆斯教授对纽约行人的情绪变化进行了研究。他发现如果前路行人走得异常缓慢,许多研究对象会感到极端“不适”。心理学教授詹姆斯将这种情况称之为“人行道狂怒症”。詹姆斯正在对狂怒等级进行研究,从而测量不同水平的“人行道狂怒症”。并判定了15种症状。包括小声嘀咕,故意撞向行人,怒目而视,紧挨他人行走。

Dr James'research found that tourists are those most likely to cause IED. They are the slowest walkers, at an average of 1.16 metres per second. IED sufferers should easily be able to spot tourists and change course to avoid any chances of getting angry. Next slowest are smokers7, cellphone users, and people with bags. These walk between 1.27 and 1.3 metres per second. The fastest walkers, at 1.4 metres per second, are those who listen to music. New York resident Jim Redman said he was shocked when he found out about the research. “That’s me!” he said. “I get sidewalk rage every day. I can’t stand it when people walk so slow in the city. I have no patience with them,” he added. Mr Redman confessed that he also showed signs of IED in his home when his children slow down his journey to the bathroom.

詹姆斯博士的研究发现,游人最容易引起冲动控制障碍。游人的平均行速为每秒1.16米,他们走得最慢。冲动控制障碍患者应该很容易发现游客,与他们绕道而行,避免造成恼怒情绪。第二类最慢行人为吸烟人士,低头族以及拎包人。他们的行速在每秒1.27到1.3米之间。步履最快的是听音乐者,每秒1.4米。纽约市民吉姆·雷德曼称他对这项研究表示震惊。他称:“这说的就是我!”他还补充道:“我每天都会因人行道而生气。我受不了人们走得太慢。我一点耐心都没有。”雷德曼承认如果孩子前往浴室的步伐缓慢,他也会表现出冲动控制障碍。
