This study examined the validity of the Propensity for Angry Driving Scale (PADS). Measuring road rage: Development of the Propensity for Angry Driving Scale in predicting aggressive driving.
The PADS and the Driving Anger Scale. Development of a driving anger scale. Psychological reports, 74, 83-91.) were administered to 232 college student volunteers with measures of aggressive and risky driving.
Convergent and discriminant validity of the PADS were supported through relationships among measures of similar constructs. The PADS significantly (p<.05) predicted moving tickets, minor accidents, aggressive driving, risky driving, and maladaptive driving anger expression, above and beyond gender, miles driven per week, and trait anger.
Findings suggest that the PADS is a useful predictor of aggressive driving and has some advantages over the DAS.
The PADS is an effective predictor of aggressive driving that complements established measures like the DAS and provides researchers with another valuable tool for the assessment of aggressive driving.
本研究检验了愤怒驾驶倾向量表（PADS）的有效性。测量路怒症：愤怒驾驶倾向量表在预测攻击性驾驶方面的编制。
对232名大学生志愿者施测PADS和驾驶愤怒量表。（驾驶愤怒量表的编制。《心理报告》，74，83 - 91。）同时测量他们的攻击性驾驶和危险驾驶情况。
通过相似构念测量之间的关系，支持了PADS的聚合效度和区分效度。PADS显著（p<.05）预测了交通违规罚单、轻微事故、攻击性驾驶、危险驾驶以及适应不良的驾驶愤怒表达，且超出了性别、每周行驶里程和特质愤怒的影响。
研究结果表明，PADS是攻击性驾驶的有效预测指标，并且比驾驶愤怒量表（DAS）具有一些优势。
PADS是攻击性驾驶的有效预测指标，它补充了像DAS这样的既定测量方法，并为研究人员提供了另一个评估攻击性驾驶的有价值工具。
