Anger amongst New Zealand drivers (2006, background): “In support of this, Deffenbacher et al.

The Driver's Angry Thoughts Questionnaire: A Measure of Angry Cognitions When Driving (2003, background): “Adaptive/Constructive Expression forms small negative correlations with measures of anger while driving, whereas aggressive forms of expression correlate positively and form larger relationships with indices of driving anger (Deffenbacher et al., 2001, 2002).”
Driving anger in Spain (2007, background): “Research has also found significant relationships to exist between driving anger and near misses (Underwood et al., 1999) and crash related conditions, such as losing control of their vehicle, losing concentration and crashing in simulator studies (Deffenbacher et al., 2001, 2003).”
The expression of anger on the road (2015, background): “…anger is that most peer-reviewed research has focused mainly or exclusively on introductory psychology students (e.g. Dahlen and Ragan, 2004; Deffenbacher et al., 2001a; Deffenbacher et al., 2002; Deffenbacher et al., 2003; Deffenbacher et al., 2004; Deffenbacher et al., 2007; Esiyok et…”
