How and why do men and women differ in their willingness to use automated cars? The influence of emotions across different age groups
Abstract
Men are more likely to associate positive emotions towards automated cars. Women are more likely to associate negative emotions towards automated cars. These findings partially explain sex differences in the willingness to use them. These findings cannot be explained by age or education effects. Age moderates the effect of biological sex on willingness to use through anxiety.
