To outline the causes and consequences of air rage, describe victims and perpetrators, suggest hypotheses for further study and compare road rage to air rage cases.
We analyzed 29 air rage cases reported in the Canadian Press for the time period 1998 to 2000.
It was found that excessive alcohol use and tobacco smoking were the most important precipitating factors. Physical aggression was common in air rage but serious injuries were not. The psychological stress of air rage for passengers must be considerable but it has not been assessed. Air rage and road rage are predominantly attributable to young males. However, alcohol and tobacco use are not important factors in road rage.
Preventing air rage will be difficult and will depend on better training for airline staff. More research is needed on air rage, especially the role of mental illness and prescription drug use. Prospective studies of air rage cases are needed.
概述空中暴怒的原因及后果，描述受害者和肇事者，提出有待进一步研究的假设，并将路怒与空中暴怒案例进行比较。
我们分析了加拿大新闻社报道的1998年至2000年期间的29起空中暴怒案例。
发现过量饮酒和吸烟是最重要的诱发因素。身体攻击在空中暴怒中很常见，但严重伤害并不常见。空中暴怒给乘客带来的心理压力肯定很大，但尚未得到评估。空中暴怒和路怒主要归因于年轻男性。然而，酒精和烟草的使用在路怒中并非重要因素。
预防空中暴怒将很困难，这将取决于对航空公司工作人员进行更好的培训。需要对空中暴怒进行更多研究，尤其是精神疾病和处方药使用的作用。需要对空中暴怒案例进行前瞻性研究。
