THE ROAD RAGE AND AGGRESSIVE DRIVING DICHOTOMY: PERSONALITY AND ATTRIBUTION FACTORS IN DRIVER AGGRESSION
- Date Issued:
- 2015
- Abstract/Description:
- Aggressive driving is not clearly and consistently defined in the literature, neither in terms of the specific behaviors chosen for inclusion nor the degree to which the emotional state of the driver is taken into account. Principally, the aim of this current research is to determine the extent to which aggressive driving and road rage overlap. This will be accomplished primarily by applying two well-supported dichotomies in aggression research: hostile/instrumental and impulsive/premeditated. Relevant personality traits will also be measured to help discern the aggressive driving- road rage overlap and to explore secondary areas of interest, such as sex and age differences in driver aggression.
