This study assesses whether anger in the context of driving is associated with the negative driving outcomes experienced by individuals with ADHD.
ADHD adults (n = 56) complete measures of driving anger, driving anger expression, angry thoughts behind the wheel, and aggressive, risky, and crash-related behavior. Results are compared to two non-ADHD control groups: one from the same community as the ADHD sample (n = 106) but that did not complete all instruments and the other from college students (n = 432) who completed all instruments.
ADHD participants report more driving anger and aggressive expression through the use of their vehicle and less adaptive and constructive anger expression than their non-ADHD peers. Adult ADHD drivers rate themselves as more angry, risky, and unsafe drivers and report experiencing more losses of concentration and vehicular control than college students.
Results are discussed with regard to drivingrelated problems for drivers with ADHD.
本研究评估在驾驶情境中的愤怒情绪是否与患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的个体所经历的负面驾驶结果相关。
ADHD成年患者（n = 56）完成了关于驾驶愤怒、驾驶愤怒表达、驾驶时的愤怒想法以及攻击性、冒险性和与撞车相关行为的测量。将结果与两个非ADHD对照组进行比较：一个来自与ADHD样本相同的社区（n = 106），但未完成所有工具测量；另一个来自完成了所有工具测量的大学生（n = 432）。
与非ADHD同龄人相比，ADHD参与者报告在驾驶时更愤怒，通过驾驶车辆表现出更多攻击性表达，且适应性和建设性的愤怒表达更少。成年ADHD驾驶员认为自己是更愤怒、更冒险和更不安全的驾驶员，并报告比大学生更容易出现注意力不集中和车辆失控的情况。
针对ADHD驾驶员与驾驶相关的问题对研究结果进行了讨论。
