Intrinsic Religious Orientation: Implications in the Study of Religiosity and Personal Adjustment in the Aged

Abstract

The behavior of 600 automobile drivers was unobtrusively observed at stop signs during the day and at night. The frequency of complete stops and of no-stops increased at night, at least for single drivers approaching the sign in the absence of oncoming traffic. This pattern of response appeared to result from increased stops for females and increased no-stops for males.
