“…It was found that the chance of high anger expression was higher among males. The findings agree with [12], which confirmed that female pedestrians were less likely to express anger aggressively than male pedestrians. It can be interpreted that the cultural context and social values of the country can be a contributing factor to the result that females are less likely to show their anger.…”

“…Despite various studies in the field of pedestrian behavior [10,11], a recent study developed a questionnaire that measures pedestrian anger expression (PAX) [12]. A principal component analysis revealed that pedestrians deal with their anger in three major ways: externally, internally, and constructively.…”

“…While the effects of age and gender on PAX were investigated in [12], other studies on other road users have stated that, in addition to demographic characteristics, other factors, such as mindfulness, narcissism, forgiveness, and consideration, were also influential in explaining anger expression [13,14]. People with a higher level of "mindfulness" and "forgiveness and consideration" reported lower levels of anger expression.…”

Although the relationship between anger and personality characteristics in the literature is well-acknowledged for drivers, there is a lack of systematic investigation of pedestrians. The current study aimed to evaluate pedestrian anger expression (PAX) and its contributing factors, including demographics, travel habits, and the big five personality traits. To test the effects of different variables on PAX scales, data from 742 respondents were collected. The data were analyzed through a two-stage approach of clustering and a logistic regression model. Participants were clustered into two groups of low expression and high expression based on their responses to PAX items. An exploratory factor analysis identified significant constructs of PAX, including “Adaptive/Constructive Expression”, “Anger Expression-In”, and “Anger Expression-out”. It was found that males were more likely to show high anger expressions. Public transport usage and previous crash involvement could significantly increase the probability of high anger expression. On the other hand, life satisfaction and intention to avoid traffic were negatively associated with high anger expression. The results revealed that neuroticism, extraversion, and openness to experience could positively contribute to higher anger expression; however, agreeableness and conscientiousness were negatively associated with high anger expression for pedestrians.
