研究发现，人们开车时表达愤怒的方式有四种。言语攻击性表达(阿尔法=0.88)评估愤怒的口头攻击性表达(例如，对另一名司机大喊大叫或咒骂)；个人身体攻击性表达(阿尔法=0.81)，个人利用自己表达愤怒的方式(例如，试图下车并训斥另一名司机或与另一名司机发生肢体争斗)；使用车辆表达愤怒(Alpha=0.86)，个人使用自己的车辆表达愤怒的方式(例如，愤怒地向另一名司机闪灯或将其拦下)，以及适应性/建设性表达(Alpha=0.90)，即该人积极应对愤怒的方式(例如，专注于安全驾驶或试图放松)。攻击性形式可归结为总攻击性表达指数(α=0.90)。攻击性表达形式与适应性/建构性表达呈正相关(r_s=0.39~0.4)，与适应性/建构性表达无相关性或负相关(r_s=-0.02~-0.22)。攻击性愤怒表达形式与驾驶相关的愤怒、攻击性和危险行为呈正相关；适应性/建设性表达倾向于与这些变量负相关。相关性和回归分析强度的差异支持区分效度和递增效度，建议的愤怒表达形式对理解与驾驶相关的行为有不同的贡献。探讨了理论和治疗方面的意义。(C)2002爱思唯尔科学有限公司。保留所有权利。
Four ways people express their anger when driving were identified. Verbal Aggressive Expression (alpha=0.88) assesses verbally aggressive expression of anger (e.g., yelling or cursing at another driver); Personal Physical Aggressive Expression (alpha=0.81), the ways the person uses him/herself to express anger (e.g., trying to get out and tell off or have a physical fight with another driver); Use of the Vehicle to Express Anger (alpha=0.86), the ways the person uses his/her vehicle to express anger (e.g., flashing lights at or cutting another driver off in anger), and Adaptive/Constructive Expression (alpha=0.90), the ways the person copes positively with anger (e.g., focuses on safe driving or tries to relax). Aggressive forms can be summed into Total Aggressive Expression Index (alpha=0.90). Aggressive forms of expression correlated positively with each other (rs=0.39-0.4), but were uncorrelated or correlated negatively with adaptive/constructive expression (rs=-0.02 to -0.22). Aggressive forms of anger expression correlated positively with driving-related anger, aggression, and risky behavior; adaptive/constructive expression tended to correlate negatively with these variables. Differences in the strengths of correlations and regression analyses supported discriminant and incremental validity and suggested forms of anger expression contributed differentially to understanding driving-related behaviors. Theoretical and treatment implications were explored. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
