“…Anger Anger was assessed with the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI; Spielberger 1996), a widely used self-report measure with sound psychometric properties (Deffenbacher et al 1996). Robust weighted least squares EFA (using polychoric correlations) indicated that the 10 items from the Trait Anger scale did not load onto a single factor (RMR=.06), which was consistent with results from other studies (e.g., Forgays et al 1997).…”

Rumination is a risk factor for aggression and depression, yet few studies have incorporated both aggression and depression in a unitary model that reflects how rumination predicts these distinct conditions. The current study examined rumination on anger and sadness to assess their unique relations with aggression and depressed mood, respectively. Analogous anger rumination and sadness rumination questionnaires were used to minimize measurement variance, and were completed by 226 undergraduate students. Factor analysis suggested one general rumination factor comprised of two distinct sub-factors of anger rumination and sadness rumination. Path analysis confirmed unique relations between anger rumination and aggression, and sadness rumination and depressed mood. Further, anger rumination and anger were independent predictors of aggression. Results supported the conceptualization of anger rumination and sadness rumination as distinct constructs and underscore the importance of pursuing research that incorporates both forms of rumination to better understand how they impact development, mental health, and behavior.

“…The more recent STAXI-2 is a revised version of the original instrument [49]. The STAXI-2 comprises 57 items that measure both the experience and expression of anger, and studies of the measure have supported adequate discriminant and convergent validity [50]. The psychometric properties of the measure have also been supported in military samples [17], and partner-violent men score higher than nonviolent men, indicating at least adequate discriminant validity [51].…”

Abstract-The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense's (DOD) recently published and updated Department of Veterans Affairs/Department of Defense VA/ DOD Clinical Practice Guideline for Management of PostTraumatic Stress includes irritability, severe agitation, and anger as specific symptoms that frequently co-occur with PTSD. For the first time, the guideline includes nine specific recommendations for the assessment and treatment of PTSDrelated anger, irritability, and agitation. This article will review the literature on PTSD and its association with anger and aggression. We highlight explanatory models for these associations, factors that contribute to the occurrence of anger and aggression in PTSD, assessment of anger and aggression, and effective anger management interventions and strategies.

“…La ira en conducción se ha caracterizado como un rasgo personal, específico de la situación de conducción, enmarcado dentro de la teoría de la ira estado-rasgo (Deffenbacher, Oetting, Thwaites et al, 1996) y, de forma aún más general, inserto dentro de los modelos de la interacción entre la personalidad y la situación. El interés por el estudio de la ira al conducir tiene varias razones que lo justifican.…”

Propiedades psicométricas de la versión abreviada de la Escala de Ira al Conducir (DAS) en población española: diferencias por edad, sexo e infracciones de tráfico.

Resumen: Uno de los grupos de factores asociados a los accidentes de tráfico son los factores de personalidad. En concreto, la ira en la conducción resulta uno de los potencialmente más relevantes, ya que puede motivar y elicitar conductas agresivas. Para medir este factor de personalidad, Deffenbacher, Oetting & Lynch (1994) desarrollaron la Driving Anger Scale (DAS) y una versión reducida de la misma (de tan sólo 14 ítems). Dada la amplia difusión de esta última, debido a su validez y rapidez, también ha comenzado a ser adaptada al español (Herrero-Fernández, 2011). Esta adaptación inicial no se ha realizado en población general y presenta una estructura factorial de tres dimensiones. Nuestro estudio ha llevado a cabo una ampliación de trabajos anteriores realizando una adaptación en población general, incluyendo datos sobre infracciones cometidas por los participantes y obteniendo propiedades psicométricas adecuadas de la escala, así como una nueva propuesta en cuanto a la composición del constructo «ira en la conducción». La estructura de la versión breve ha sido explicada por tres factores: «ira ante el avance impedido por otro», «ira ante infracción de otro conductor» e «ira ante ofensa directa»; nuestra propuesta añade un nuevo factor que hemos denominado «ira ante posible sanción». Su inclusión viene apoyada por razones teóricas y prácticas. Palabras clave: Ira al conducir, Escala; Adaptación española; Propiedades psicométricas.Title: Psychometric properties of the brief version of the Driving Anger Scale (DAS) in Spanish language: Differences by age, gender and traffic violations. Abstract: The personality factors are an important group of factors associated to traffic accidents. Specifically, driving anger can be one of the more remarkable variables because it can motivate and elicit aggressive behavior. To measure this personality factor Deffenbacher, Oetting & Lynch (1994) developed the Driving Anger Scale (DAS) and its abbreviated version (with only 14 items). Because of the widely dissemination of this short version, owing to its validity and time-saving properties, it have been accomplished its adaptation into Spanish too (Herrero-Fernández, 2011). This first Spanish adaptation did not use general population and found a three-factorial structure. In the present study we have carried out an extension to general population, including data on traffic violations. Appropriate psychometric properties and a new four-factorial structure of «driving anger» have been achieved. The three factors on previous short versions of the DAS have been called «traffic obstructions», «illegal driving», and «hostile gestures», but we have find a fourth factor we have named «possibility of being fined». Its rationale is both empirically and theoretically discussed. Key words: Driving Anger, Scale; Spanish adaptation; psychometric properties. IntroducciónSe puede hablar de los accidentes de tráfico como un problema de salud de primera magnitud, tanto en sociedades desarrolladas como en vías de desarrollo. En los países de...
