Are aggressive people aggressive drivers? A study of the relationship between self-reported general aggressiveness, driver anger and aggressive driving

TL;DR: Investigation of the original factorial structure of the Manchester Driver Behaviour Questionnaire was replicated in Finland and The Netherlands showed that the DBQ four-factor structures were congruent but not perfect with the target structure found in Britain.

TL;DR: High anger drivers drove at higher speeds in low impedance simulations and had shorter times and distances to collision and were twice as likely to crash in high impedance simulations, and high anger drivers were more generally angry.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify determinants of road user behaviour and accident involvement with the aim of developing effective accident countermeasures. But the role of personality in risk research still remains debatable and unclear.

TL;DR: This article investigated the utility of combining these variables in the prediction of self-reported driving anger expression and the frequency of aggressive and risky driving behaviors and found that different combinations of predictors are needed to explain different aspects of driving behavior.

TL;DR: Self-reports of certain aspects of driver behaviour can be used as surrogates for observational measures, thus providing a convenient extension to the researcher's methodological armoury and one such aspect is speed which appears to play an important role in accident involvement.

TL;DR: In this article, a new inventory, the Driver Social Desirability Scale (DSDS), for measuring driver impression management (DIM) and driver self-deception (DSD), was introduced.

TL;DR: Investigation of beliefs about aggression found that instrumental and expressive beliefs were relatively independent of one another, and the position that the beliefs represent rhetorical devices is assessed in the light of these findings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors postulate that aggression is always a consequence of frustration and indicate manifestations of this sequence in almost every field of human behavior and interpret aggression as assuming many forms and as being affected by other psychological factors.
