Peppermint Decreases Driving Frustration |

The scent of peppermint or
cinnamon in your car might make your
morning commute less frustrating and you more alert when behind the
wheel. That's according to the results of a recent study led by Dr.
Bryan Raudenbush, an associate professor of psychology at Wheeling
Jesuit University in Wheeling, WV. According to the study drivers demonstrated decreased levels of frustration, anxiety and fatigue when exposed to peppermint and cinnamon scents. The study also revealed that drivers were more alert. The results of the study, Effects Of Odor Administration On Driving Performance, Safety, Alertness, And Fatigue, were presented at the recent Association for Chemical Reception Sciences Conference in Sarasota, FL. |
The study
builds on Raudenbush's past research, which indicated the odors of
peppermint and cinnamon enhance motivation, performance, and
alertness, decrease fatigue, and serve as central nervous system
stimulants. "In general, prolonged driving led to increased anger, fatigue, and physical demand, and decreased vigor. However, fatigue ratings were decreased in the cinnamon condition. Both cinnamon and peppermint administration led to increased ratings of alertness in comparison to the no-odor control condition over the course of the driving scenario. Periodic administration of these odors over long term driving may prove beneficial in maintaining alertness and decreasing highway accidents and fatalities," says Raudenbush. |
