摘要：El presente estudio examino los eventos de la conduccion que generan ira en una muestra compuesta por 528 conductores espanoles, utilizando la version reducida de 14 items del Driving Anger Scale (Deffenbacher, Oetting, & Lynch, 1994). Los analisis factoriales explorato-rio y confirmatorio mostraron que la escala ajusto satisfactoriamente en tres factores, siendo etiquetados como Avance Impedido por Otros (a = .77), Conduccion Temeraria (a = .66) y Hostilidad Directa (a = .87), que pueden ser sumados para obtener una puntuacion global (a = .84). Los analisis posteriores demostraron que la edad y el sexo no tienen efecto de interaccion significativo en la ira, ni el sexo considerandolo por separado. Sin embargo, si que se observo un efecto significativo de la edad, de modo que los conductores jovenes informan de un mayor grado de ira que los mayores, globalmente (n2 = .04), ante el avance impedido por otros (n2 = .03), ante la conduccion temeraria (n2 = .02) y ante la hostilidad directa (n2 = .04).
其他摘要：The present study examined the events that provoke driving anger in a sample of Spanish drivers. With this aim, the 14-item short version of the Driving Anger Scale (Deffenbacheret al., 1994) was applied to a sample of 528 drivers. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit of three factors, which were called Impeded Progress by Others (a = .77), Reckless Driving (a = .66) and Direct Hostility (a = .87). These factors can be summed to obtain a global score (a = .84). Additional analyses showed that there was not significant interaction effect between age and gender in anger neither significant effect by gender. However, younger drivers scored higher than older in all the factors: Impeded Progress by Others (n2 = .03), Reckless Driving (n2 = .02), Direct Hostility (n2 = .04) and Global Score (n2 = .04).
