“…So far, specific sets of driving related attitudes have been identified (Iversen and Rundmo, 2002;Miles and Johnson, 2003;Ulleberg and Rundmo, 2003;Yilmaz and Ç elik, 2008), but as yet no study has identified general antisocial attitudes as predictors of DUI. On this basis, the results from the ROC analysis showed personality and attitudes to be good predictors of DUI offending; the AUC = .85 suggests that personality and antisocial attitudes are good indicators of group assignment.…”

“…Impulsivity has been extensively related to risky driving (Dahlen et al, 2005), but sensation-seeking is the trait that has shown the most consistent predictive power (Dahlen et al, 2005;Dahlen & White, 2006;Fernandes et al, 2010Fernandes et al, , 2007Iversen & Rundmo, 2002). Other personality traits have also been related to risky driving.…”

“…Other researchers have proposed related constructs such as trait driving anger, which is defined as the propensity to become angry while driving (Dahlen et al, 2005;Dahlen and White, 2006;Iversen and Rundmo, 2002;Sullman et al, 2007). But in general, the predictive power of personality traits is quite limited, especially when controlling for confounding variables (Schell et al, 2006).…”

a b s t r a c tSeveral studies have related personality variables with antisocial behavior. Among antisocial behaviors, driving under the influence (DUI) has received growing attention in recent years, particularly in relation to the role of personality. However, it has been shown that personality alone is not sufficient to accurately predict DUI. As a result, there is growing interest in identifying other types of individual differences that might predict this behavior better, such as attitudinal variables. The aim of this study was to examine differences in personality dimensions and attitudes between a group of DUI offenders and a comparison group. Ninety-eight subjects were assessed: 51 subjects who had been convicted of a DUI offense following a diversion program, and 47 drivers without criminal records. Personality was measured with the NEO-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) and antisocial attitudes were assessed with the Jesness InventoryRevised. Results indicated that offenders were more prone to show antisocial attitudes (p < .001) than comparisons. In terms of personality, there were no significant differences between the two groups. These findings suggest that attitudes may be useful predictors of DUI and should be taken into account in interventions designed to avoid recidivism.

“…Individual characteristics are related to risky driving behavior and to driving outcomes such as offenses and crashes (Iversen & Rundmo, 2002). Personality characteristics such as aggressiveness, hostility, sensation seeking, normlessness, disinhibition, susceptibility to boredom, impaired risk perception, and perceived invulnerability, are associated with higher rates of risky driving behaviors and negative driving outcomes (Burns & Wilde, 1995;Furnham & Saipe, 1993;Greene et al, 2000;Iversen & Rundmo, 2002;Jonah, 1997;McMillen et al, 1991;van Beurden et al, 2005;Vavrik, 1997;Wells-Parker et al, 2002).…”

“…12 The DAS has satisfactory psychometric properties, has been adapted and validated in several countries and has been used in many studies with diverse samples of individuals with driving anger and aggressive behaviors. 2,6,13,14 The Brazilian version of the DAS may significantly contribute to this field of study in Brazil. Future studies should assess the validity and reliability of this instrument.…”

Introduction: Driving anger has attracted the attention of researchers in recent years because it may induce individuals to drive aggressively or adopt risk behaviors. The Driving Anger Scale (DAS) was designed to evaluate the propensity of drivers to become angry or aggressive while driving. This study describes the cross-cultural adaptation of a Brazilian version of the short form and the long form of the DAS. Methods: Translation and adaptation were made in four steps: two translations and two back-translations carried out by independent evaluators; the development of a brief version by four bilingual experts in mental health and driving behaviors; a subsequent experimental application; and, finally, an investigation of operational equivalence. Results: Final Brazilian versions of the short form and of the long form of the DAS were made and are presented. Conclusions: This important instrument, which assesses driving anger and aggressive behaviors, is now available to evaluate the driving behaviors of the Brazilian population, which facilitates research in this field.
