“…In this case, the coefficient was higher in the case of the anger measure than in the case of risky behavior and risk perception. The significant but lower relationship with risk measures is congruent with previous driving related research, which show that risk and anger are both theoretically and empirically related, as a same behavior could be risky or aggressive depending on the intention of the person who makes it (Herrero-Fernández & Fonseca-Baeza, 2017). Finally, when both risk and anger measures were analyzed together as predictors in the hierarchical regression, risk measures lost their significance, showing the incremental validity of the PAS.…”

“…Then, an efficient assessment and intervention could be crucial for the person. Regarding the road safety viewpoint, it has already been commented the relationship between anger, aggression, risky behavior and crash-related events (Herrero-Fernández & Fonseca-Baeza, 2017).…”

“…Then, predictors of risky behavior should be analyzed in order to prevent this kind of behavior, and ultimately road accidents. In this sense, one of the variables that has been closely related to risky behavior is anger, both in a general context (Ferrer, Maclay, Litvak, & Lerner, 2017) and in the specific field of driving (Herrero-Fernández & Fonseca-Baeza, 2017). Anger has also shown strong relationships with aggressive behavior, both in a general context (Spielberger, Krasner, & Solomon, 1988) and in driving (Deffenbacher, Deffenbacher, Lynch, & Richards, 2003).…”

Anger has been closely related to risky behavior, and this last has been related to road accidents. The current research aimed to develop and validate a self-report questionnaire to measure anger in pedestrians (n = 550, 40.73% male) of a wide age rage (14–65 years, M = 27.91, SD = 13.21). The Parallel Analysis showed that the 15 items of the Pedestrian Anger Scale fitted satisfactorily in a four-factor solution: Anger because of obstructions or slowdowns caused by other pedestrians (α = .79), Anger because of hostility from drivers (α = .64), Anger because of bad conditions of the infrastructure (α = .62), and Anger because of dangerous situations caused by vehicles (α = .71). The global scale had also a good internal consistency (α = .83). Further analyses suggested convergent, divergent and incremental validity by correlating the global score of the questionnaire with both risk and anger measures. Middle-aged people (19–30 years) scored higher in anger as pedestrians than eldest (> 45 years), η2 = .02, but no significant effect were obtained by gender. Practical implications from both clinical and road safety viewpoints are discussed, and both future research proposals and limitations of the current study are also commented.

“…Salah satu penyebab kecelakaan tersebut adalah buruknya infrastruktur jalan. Selain itu, perilaku berkendara pengemudi juga menjadi faktor lain yang dapat meningkatkan angka kecelakaan [3,4]. Untuk mengurangi resiko kecelakaan berkendara, setiap kasus kecelakaan yang terjadi biasanya direkonstruksi ulang dengan seksama sehingga penyebab kecelakaan dapat terungkap [5].…”

“…Driver aggression involves behaviour such as driving at excessive speed, improper following, improper lane changing and passing, intimidation of other road users, drink-driving and drug-driving offences, verbal outbursts and gestures aimed at other drivers, etc. Numerous studies have shown a high predictive power of aggressiveness in explaining the occurrence of traffic offences and even traffic accidents [10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17].…”
