本研究以新西兰普通人群为样本，研究了由14个项目组成的DAS（驾驶愤怒量表）和pad（愤怒驾驶倾向量表）的因素结构。研究人员还调查了这两种量表与愤怒、危险驾驶行为、交通事故以及各种交通事故相关情况的关系。验证性因子分析支持两个量表都是单维的，尽管PADS量表从19个项目减少到18个项目。PADS和DAS都与特质性愤怒、危险驾驶行为和未遂事件显著相关。然而，一旦剔除人口统计变量和特质愤怒的影响，PADS和DAS的加入对预测违规行为有显著贡献，但只有PADS显著。相比之下，在人口统计变量和特质愤怒被剔除后，DAS和PADS的加入再次对近射概率的预测做出了重大贡献，但这一次只有DAS做出了重大贡献。目前的研究清楚地表明，这两个量表都是可靠的测量方法，测量的是驾驶愤怒的相似但略有不同的方面。
The present study investigated the factor structures of the 14-item version of the DAS (Driving Anger Scale) and the Propensity for Angry Driving Scale (PADS) using a sample of New Zealand drivers drawn from the general population. The two scales were also investigated with regards to their relationships with general trait anger, risky driving behaviour, along with crash involvement and a variety of crash-related conditions. Confirmatory Factor Analysis supported both scales as unidimensional, although the PADS was reduced from a 19-item to an 18-item scale. Both the PADS and DAS were significantly related to trait anger, risky driving behaviour and near-misses. However, once the influence of the demographic variables and trait anger had been partialled out, the addition of the PADS and DAS made a significant contribution to predicting violations, but it was only the PADS which was significant. In contrast, after the demographic variables and trait anger had been partialled out, the addition of the DAS and PADS again made a significant contribution to the prediction of near-misses, but this time it was only the DAS which made a significant contribution. The present study clearly shows that both scales are robust measures, measuring similar, but slightly different aspects of driving anger.
