两个样本的致命受伤的男性司机进行了回顾性比较，与正常人群的18项措施的个人和社会的调整，通过卡茨调整量表，一种设备，通过与知识渊博的线人访谈的人的行为特征进行评估。从第一个样本中获得的结果基本上复制在第二个，并表明，男性司机的死亡，平均而言，被视为被举报人已显着更具好战性，消极的，口头扩张，多动，并显示更多的精神病理比可比的正常男性。先前的存在和突出的这些特征的情况下，研究的支持部门的机动车辆记录表明交通违规的发生率很高，并在大多数尸检血液中的酒精含量过高。在这些样本中，所涉及的行为特征与尸检时的年龄或血液酒精水平之间缺乏关联，这表明，无论年轻还是年老，饮酒还是不饮酒，社会上粗暴的司机都有增加的死亡风险。
Two samples of fatally injured male drivers were retrospectively compared with a normative population on 18 measures of personal and social adjustment by means of the Katz Adjustment Scales, a device for assessing the behavioral characteristics of persons through interviews with knowledgeable informants. Results obtained from the first sample were essentially replicated in the second, and suggest that fatalities in male drivers, on the average, are seen by informants as having been significantly more belligerent, negative, verbally expansive, hyperactive, and displaying more psychopathology than comparable normative males. Prior existence and prominence of these traits among the cases studied was supported by Department of Motor Vehicles records indicating a high incidence of traffic violations and by excessive blood alcohol levels at autopsy in the majority. The lack of association in these samples between the behavioral traits implicated and either age or blood alcohol level at autopsy suggests the conclusion that whether young or old, drinking or nondrinking, the socially obstreperous driver is at increased risk of becoming a fatality.
