High anger drivers who acknowledged problems with driving anger and were interested in treatment were compared to high and low anger drivers who did not acknowledge problems with driving anger or want treatment. Although high anger drivers who acknowledged problems reported greater anger on two measures than high anger drivers who did not acknowledge problems, both high anger groups tended not to differ from one another and were more frequently and intensely angered when driving, reported more aggressive and less adaptive/constructive forms of expressing anger while driving, engaged in more aggressive and risky behavior on the road, and experienced more of some accident-related outcomes than low anger drivers. High anger groups did not differ from each other, but reported more trait anxiety and anger and more outward negative and less controlled general anger expression than the low anger group. The two groups of high anger drivers, however, require different types of interventions given their state of readiness for driving anger reduction. Results were also interpreted as supportive of the state-trait model of anger and construct validity of the Driving Anger Scale.
将承认存在驾驶愤怒问题且对治疗感兴趣的高愤怒驾驶者与不承认存在驾驶愤怒问题或不想接受治疗的高愤怒和低愤怒驾驶者进行了比较。尽管承认问题的高愤怒驾驶者在两项指标上报告的愤怒程度高于不承认问题的高愤怒驾驶者，但两个高愤怒组之间往往没有差异，并且在驾驶时比低愤怒驾驶者更频繁、更强烈地发怒，报告在驾驶时表现出更具攻击性和更少适应性/建设性的愤怒表达方式，在路上从事更多攻击性和危险行为，并且经历更多与事故相关的一些结果。高愤怒组之间没有差异，但与低愤怒组相比，报告有更多的特质焦虑和愤怒，更多外向的负面情绪和更少受控制的一般愤怒表达。然而，鉴于两组高愤怒驾驶者在降低驾驶愤怒方面的准备状态，他们需要不同类型的干预措施。结果也被解释为支持愤怒的状态-特质模型和驾驶愤怒量表的结构效度。
