Outline § Field Observations § Behavior and Affective Categories § Data Collection Sheet § Driver Anxiety Parallel Video Capture 3

Field Observations § Based on quantitative field observation method in (Baker et al, 2004; Rodrigo et al, 2007) § Students used the software in groups of 10, one computer per student § Two coders observed each student for 20 seconds, moved on to the next student, circled back to the first student § Observers were synchronized by a common timekeeper 4

Field Observations § Observers coded only one behavior and affective state per time slice § Only the first behavior and affective state were coded § Observers stood diagonally behind the subjects § Observers stood still or moved, depending on the better vantage point 5
