Most research on aggressive driving has focused on identifying aspects of driver personality which will exacerbate it (e.g., sensation seeking, impulsiveness, driving anger, etc.). The present study was designed to examine two theoretically relevant but previously unexplored personality factors predicted to reduce the risk of aggressive driving: trait forgiveness and consideration of future consequences. The utility of these variables in predicting aggressive driving and driving anger expression was evaluated among 316 college student volunteers. Hierarchical multiple regressions permitted an analysis of the incremental validity of these constructs beyond respondent gender, age, miles driven per week, and driving anger. Both forgiveness and consideration of future consequences contributed to the prediction of aggressive driving and driving anger expression, independent of driving anger. Research on aggressive driving may be enhanced by greater attention to adaptive, potentially risk-reducing traits. Moreover, forgiveness and consideration of future consequences may have implications for accident prevention.
大多数关于攻击性驾驶的研究都集中在确定会加剧攻击性驾驶的驾驶员个性方面（例如，寻求刺激、冲动、驾驶愤怒等）。本研究旨在检验两个理论上相关但此前未被探索过的个性因素，预计这两个因素会降低攻击性驾驶的风险：特质宽恕和对未来后果的考虑。在316名大学生志愿者中评估了这些变量在预测攻击性驾驶和驾驶愤怒表达方面的效用。分层多元回归允许分析这些构念在受访者性别、年龄、每周行驶里程和驾驶愤怒之外的增量效度。宽恕和对未来后果的考虑都有助于预测攻击性驾驶和驾驶愤怒表达，且与驾驶愤怒无关。对攻击性驾驶的研究可能会因更多关注适应性的、潜在降低风险的特质而得到加强。此外，宽恕和对未来后果的考虑可能对事故预防有启示意义。
