Abstract

Recent research suggests that driving anger is an important psychological determinant of traffic accidents and violations in a variety of driving settings. The purpose of the present study was to develop a valid and reliable driving anger scale and to investigate the relationship between the driving anger and overspeed driving in Korea. Based on the Driving Anger Scale (DAS) proposed by Deffenbacher and colleagues (1994), a Korean version of Driving Anger Scale (K-DAS) was developed to reflect the traffic and road conditions in Korea. In Study 1, an exploratory factor analysis on the data from 1,125 adult Korean drivers revealed a 6 factor structure of driving anger scale. In study 2, which employed 410 adult Korean drivers, the 6 factor structure of the scale was cross-validated through confirmatory factor analysis, and its predictive utility was examined. The Results from a confirmatory factor analysis showed satisfactory fitness of 6 factor model. Moreover, a multiple regression analysis indicated that the six factors of the K-DAS well predicted overspeed driving in Korea. In study 3, which employed 476 adult Korean drivers, the results from multiple regression analysis showed the addition of driving anger led to the significant increment in explaining overspeed driving in amount of explained variance in attitude toward overspeed driving, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. Limitations of the present study and implications for future research were discussed.
