Gender, driver aggression, and driver violence: An applied evaluation

Drivers completed a questionnaire assessing the likelihood of engaging in m ild forms of driver aggression, the frequency of past driver violence, and a disposition toward driver stress. Both male and female drivers reported s imilar levels of mild driver aggression, supporting the notion that context is important in arousing female aggression. In contrast, driver violence w as more frequent among male drivers, demonstrating the relevance: of behavi oral form within gender linked aggression research. Suggestions for the exi stence of a gender difference in driver violence, but not mild driver aggre ssion are offered. Finally, driver stress susceptibility was linked to both mild driver aggression and driver violence.
