“…However, in the event that no interactions proved significant on the first run, the main effects would be entered stepwise on the second run. This strategy has been reported in greater detail elsewhere (e.g., Kohn & Macdonald, 1992b;.…”

“…A great deal of stress and hassles research has been focussed on determining potential links between stress and psychological or physiological symptomology, therefore conceptual overlap and common items found in the Daily Hassles Scale may lead to inflated relationships. Also, response options to the Daily Hassles Scale provide no alternative for those who have not recently experienced a particular item as distressing (Kohn & Macdonald, 1992b). Judgements of the severity of individual hassles may actually reflect, rather than predict, subjective distress; accordingly, Kohn and Macdonald (1 992a) based their response format on the degree of exposure to each hassle rather than its judged severity.…”

State driver stress was measured in both low and high traffic congestion using cellular telephones. The contributions of time urgency, trait driver stress, and hassles were also examined. Drivers showed substantially more state driver stress under high than low congestion. Time urgency made a significant positive contribution to state driver stress at both congestion levels. Trait driver stress also contributed positively under low congestion. There was a significant hassles X trait stress interaction under high congestion. Hassles exposure moderately increased state driver stress for high trait stress drivers, but reduced state driver stress for medium and low trait stress drivers. These findings indicate that state driver stress is influenced by a combination of situational and personal factors, including factors external to the driving context.

“…Hassles have been defined as the seemingly minor, chronic, or everyday pressures that are experienced and perceived as "somewhat severe" difficulties [Kohn and Macdonald, 1992a]. Repeated exposure to daily hassles, even under perceptibly low levels, has been linked with minor physical illness [Kohn and Macdonald, 1992b]. Research has recently turned to automobile driving as a salient source of everyday stress [see Gulian et al, 1990;Hennessy and Wiesenthal, 1997;Novaco et al, 1990].…”

“…However, recent attention has also focused on the issue of spillover in which workplace attitudes and behaviors are influenced by non‐work factors (Leiter & Durup, 1996). The notion is that unresolved daily hassles from one domain can persist, even when no longer in conscious awareness, and add to the pressures of subsequent hassles in other life contexts (Kohn & Macdonald, 1992; Lazarus, 1981; Taylor, 1991).…”

The Impact of Commuter Stress on Workplace Aggression

Immediately following their regular commute to work, participants completed questionnaires regarding state driver stress and anger during that commute. Then, immediately following completion of that work day, they completed a state version of the Workplace Aggression Scale. As state driver stress increased, the frequency of both expressed hostility and obstructionism increased (independently) during that work day, but only among male employees. In contrast, overt aggression during that work day was greatest among males who were higher in physical aggressiveness as a general trait characteristic. The present study highlights the interactive nature of traffic and workplace environments, in that negative experiences in the traffic environment may spill over for some individuals to influence nondriving events.
