A cluster analysis of responses from more than 1500 college students to 53 potentially angering driving-related situations yielded a 33-item driving anger scale (alpha reliability = .90) with six reliable subscales involving hostile gestures, illegal driving, police presence, slow driving, discourtesy, and traffic obstructions. Subscales all correlated positively, suggesting a general dimension of driving anger as well as anger related to specific driving-related situations. Men were more angered by police presence and slow driving whereas women were more angered by illegal behavior and traffic obstructions, but differences compensated so there were no gender differences on total score. A 14-item short form (alpha reliability = .80) was developed from scores more highly correlated (r = .95) with scores on the long form. Driving anger may have potential value for research on accident prevention and health psychology.
对1500多名大学生对53种可能引发愤怒的驾驶相关情境的反应进行聚类分析，得出了一个包含33个项目的驾驶愤怒量表（α信度=0.90），该量表有六个可靠的子量表，涉及敌意手势、非法驾驶、警察在场、驾驶缓慢、无礼行为和交通堵塞。各子量表之间均呈正相关，表明存在一个驾驶愤怒的总体维度以及与特定驾驶相关情境相关的愤怒。男性更容易因警察在场和驾驶缓慢而愤怒，而女性更容易因非法行为和交通堵塞而愤怒，但这些差异相互抵消，因此总分上没有性别差异。从与长式量表得分相关性更高（r=0.95）的得分中开发出了一个包含14个项目的简式量表（α信度=0.80）。驾驶愤怒可能对事故预防和健康心理学研究具有潜在价值。
