The aim of this study was to examine the links between primary psychopathic traits and driving behavior on the one hand, and driving anger expression on the other hand, through the specific contribution of empathy, impulsiveness, and sensation seeking, in a sample of French driving offenders.
One thousand six hundred and eighty-six driving offenders completed a paper-and-pencil questionnaire during 110 drivers' rehabilitation programs.
Primary psychopathic traits were positively associated with violations and aggressive driving anger expression, and negatively associated with prosocial driving behaviors. These associations were partially mediated by empathy, impulsiveness, and sensation seeking. In addition, the negative relation between primary psychopathic traits and adaptive anger expression was fully mediated by these three personal dispositions.
Low empathy, high impulsiveness and sensation seeking are important characteristics of driving offenders with high psychopathic traits. Our results provide a better understanding of French driving offenders' risky behaviors and the role of primary psychopathic traits.
本研究旨在通过同理心、冲动和寻求刺激的特定贡献，考察原发性精神病特质与驾驶行为之间的联系，一方面是驾驶行为，另一方面是驾驶愤怒表达，在法国驾驶违法者样本中。
1686 名驾驶违法者在 110 个驾驶员康复计划中完成了一份纸笔问卷。
原发性精神病特质与违法行为和攻击性驾驶愤怒表达呈正相关，与亲社会驾驶行为呈负相关。这些关联部分由同理心、冲动和寻求刺激来调节。此外，原发性精神病特质与适应性愤怒表达之间的负相关完全由这三种个人倾向来调节。
同理心低、冲动和寻求刺激是原发性精神病特质高的驾驶违法者的重要特征。我们的研究结果为理解法国驾驶违法者的危险行为和原发性精神病特质的作用提供了更好的认识。
