Increased speed leads to a reduction of time available to a person for a particular action. This has the effect that the demands on the mental regulation of this action are increased and thus the person-environment-interaction is intensified.

This doctoral thesis deals with precisely this question of the optimal action using the example of high speed, which is discussed on the basis of practical experience reports from aviation and sport, reflected using theoretical approaches from various disciplines and presented in process models.

The topic is of interest both for the situations studied and for everyday situations. The author wants to encourage his readers to relate the empirical results to individual and collective issues in everyday economic or societal life that result in increased speed and thus stress.
