Abstract:
The present study focuses on the identification and evaluation of factors that influence simulator sickness in driving simulators. The exact reasons for the occurrence are still not entirely understood. In 2016, a series of intercultural driving simulation studies in Germany, the United States and China with a total of N=233 participants was conducted. The frequency of dropouts due to simulator sickness varied between the different countries. A binary logistic regression approach was used to evaluate the influence of five factors (age, gender, country of origin, display medium and driving distance per year) on simulator sickness, which was operationalized as a dichotomous variable of either dropping out or successfully finishing the experiment. The factors age, gender and country of origin had a significant influence on the dropout rate in this study. With increasing age, the probability of quitting a driving simulation session increased. Furthermore, female participants terminated the driving simulation session more often than males. Chinese participants quit most frequently, followed by German participants and American participants quit least often. Mileage per year and display medium had no significant influence on the dropout rates. Even though influence factors were found, they can only explain about 16% of the appearance of dropouts. Conclusions are drawn and directions for future research are discussed.
