Social Impacts of Transport: Literature Review and the State of the Practice of Transport Appraisal in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom (2009, background): “There is a growing body of literature, which shows that travel time is experienced as something positive; some commuters seem to enjoy the commuting time in itself (e.g. Redmond and Mokhtarian, 2001; Jain and Lyons, 2008).”
Discussing the “positive utilities” of autonomous vehicles: will travellers really use their time productively? (2019, background): “Jain and Lyons (2008) discuss how travelling can be viewed by some as a gift, providing both “transition time” and “time out” for travellers to experience distance, prepare for performing destination activities, escape from home and work obligations, or simply spend some time alone with oneself.”
The influence of the impedance function on gravity-based pedestrian accessibility measures: A comparative analysis (2017, background): “…on travel behavior that proposes the existence of an acceptable travel time, revealing a tolerance toward travel and/or the existence of a travel time budget (Getis, 1969; Hjorthol, 2001; Hupkes, 1982; Jain and Lyons, 2008; Marchetti, 1994; Metz, 2004; Van Ommeren et al., 1997; Zahavi, 1979).”
Travel-based multitasking: review of the empirical evidence (2018, background): “This paper starts from the premise that travel can be one of the simultaneous multitasking activities (Bjørner, 2016; Circella et al., 2012; Jain & Lyons, 2008; Mokhtarian et al., 2014).”
Still Feeling the Car – The Role of Comfort in Sustaining Private Car Use (2015, background): “The comfort of the cocoon of the car is regularly positioned as a relief from the stresses associated with modern life (Hiscock et al. 2002; Mann and Abraham 2006; Jain and Lyons 2008).”
Jography: Exploring Meanings, Experiences and Spatialities of Recreational Road-running (2016, unknown): “(Video-Ethnography) These sentiments also chime with Jain and Lyons’ (2008) discussion of the role of travel in facilitating transition – adjusting mind frames, shedding burdens and experiencing distance – between work and home.”
Technology and Psychological Well-being: Commuting and well-being (2009, background): “(1995) and Kluger (1998), Evans, Wener, & Phillips (2002) investigated whether commute predictability for train passengers affected perceived stress of the commute, salivary cortisol, and performance on a proof reading task.”
A Conceptual Typology of Multitasking Behavior and Polychronicity Preferences (2012, background): “There is, in fact, a burgeoning literature on activities conducted while traveling (e.g. Jain and Lyons, 2008; Watts and Urry, 2008; Zhang and Timmermans, 2010) which largely takes the same perspective, whereas waiting seems to be less often studied (but see, e.g., Bissell, 2007; Durrande-Moreau…”
Travel and Subjective Well-Being: A Focus on Findings, Methods and Future Research Needs (2013, background): “Well-being enhancing activities can also be conducted while travelling to a destination, and there is growing empirical evidence that people use travel time to work, read, watch people, sleep and so forth (Jain & Lyons, 2008; Lyons, Jain, & Holley, 2007; Ohmori & Harata, 2008).”
Travel satisfaction revisited : on the pivotal role of travel satisfaction in conceptualizing a travel behavior process (2017, background): “On the other hand, travel time can give travellers the opportunity to mentally prepare for the activity ahead, facilitating the performance of that activity (Jain and Lyons, 2008; Ory and Mokhtarian, 2005).”
Does commuting matter to subjective well-being? (2018, background): “Jain and Lyons (2008) suggest that commuting provides transition time”
Highway to health? Commute time and well-being among Canadian adults (2014, background): “There was more support for a resource drain explanation for the association of commute time with well-being than for the benefits or gift discourse outlined by Jain and Lyons (2008).”
