Abstract
Fifty-two couples were surveyed about their behavior while driving together. Each was asked to individually rate the driver's behavior, the passenger's amount of complaining about the driver's behavior, the effect of that complaining on the driver, the driver's use of vengeance while driving, and the driver's ability and safety. Drivers and passengers gave similar responses: the riskier the driver's behavior, the more the passenger complained. The more the passenger complained, the less both reported that it helped. Judged ability of the driver was not related to the driver's risky behavior by either the drivers or passengers, although passengers, but not drivers, saw more risky driving behaviors as less safe.
