164 underage female DUI offenders were evaluated on measures of personality, driving-risk, psychosocial stressors, alcohol and other drug use, alcohol abuse, and symptoms of depression. Empirical classification of 10 groups represented five distinct types. 31 youth who were classified as Antisocial exhibited highest rates of alcohol misuse, other drug use, deviant driving behavior, traffic offenses and accidents, and psychosocial stressors. About 56% or 92 appeared to experience impaired functioning serious enough to warrant interventions more intense than educational classes. A measure of driving-risk developed and used in studies of male adults, the Donovan Research Questionnaire, did not appear to differentiate driving-risk among the young women. In contrast to male drivers, who often expressed anger or aggression through driving, most subjects appeared to react to emotion-eliciting stimuli with feelings of low self-worth or dysphoric affect rather than anger. Specialized screening suitable for young female DUI offenders should be considered.
对164名未成年女性酒后驾车违法者进行了个性、驾驶风险、心理社会压力源、酒精及其他药物使用、酒精滥用和抑郁症状等方面的评估。对10组进行的实证分类代表了五种不同类型。被归类为反社会型的31名青少年在酒精滥用、其他药物使用、异常驾驶行为、交通违法和事故以及心理社会压力源方面的发生率最高。约56%（即92人）似乎存在严重到足以需要比教育课程更强化干预的功能受损情况。在成年男性研究中开发并使用的一种驾驶风险测量工具——多诺万研究问卷，似乎无法区分年轻女性中的驾驶风险。与经常通过驾驶表达愤怒或攻击性的男性司机不同，大多数受试者似乎对引发情绪的刺激做出的反应是自我价值感低落或烦躁情绪，而非愤怒。应考虑适合年轻女性酒后驾车违法者的专门筛查。
