Up to one-third of community participants report being perpetrators of road rage, indicating that various forms of road rage are relatively commonplace. However, only two percent or less of incidents culminate in serious damage to persons or vehicles. The most common offenders appear to be young and male. A number of factors may contribute to road rage, including environmental factors (e.g., greater number of miles driven per day, traffic density), nonspecific psychological factors (e.g., displaced aggression, attribution of blame to others), and bona fide Axis I and II disorders. The most common Axis I disorders appear to be related to alcohol and substance misuse, whereas possible Axis II disorders include borderline and antisocial personality disorders. Being aware of these contributory factors to road rage may improve general clinical awareness of the nature and treatment of perpetrators.
高达三分之一的社区参与者报告称自己有过路怒行为,这表明各种形式的路怒相对较为常见。然而,只有2%或更少的事件会导致人员重伤或车辆严重受损。最常见的肇事者似乎是年轻男性。路怒可能由多种因素导致,包括环境因素(例如,每天行驶里程数更多、交通密度)、非特定心理因素(例如,转移攻击、将责任归咎于他人)以及真正的轴I和轴II障碍。最常见的轴I障碍似乎与酒精和物质滥用有关,而可能的轴II障碍包括边缘型和反社会型人格障碍。了解这些导致路怒的因素可能会提高临床对肇事者的性质和治疗的总体认识。
