Cognitive–Behavioral Group Treatment for Driving‐Related Anger, Aggression, and Risky Driving in Combat Veterans: A Pilot Study

“…Primary outcome measures showed significant improvement; 88.9% of participants demonstrated reliable reduction in driving‐related aggressive behavior, while 66.7% demonstrated reliable reduction in driving‐related anger. The present findings are comparable to previous studies in community samples (Deffenbacher et al, ; Deffenbacher, Filetti, Lynch, Dahlen, & Oetting, ; Galovski & Blanchard, ). Improvements were also evident on secondary treatment targets including risky driving behavior, PTSD symptom severity, and depression symptom severity.…”

The Influence of Aggressive Driving Behavior and Impulsiveness on Traffic Accidents

“…Based on these results we can conclude that there is a similarity between the behavioral correlates of general impulsiveness and aggressive expression while driving. These results are in accordance with the results obtained in earlier studies that have addressed the same issue (Stanford and Barratt, 1992;Deffenbacher et al, 2000;, Dahlen et al, 2005. On the other hand, demographic variables of age and driving experience, also, not unexpectedly, showed the correlation with the number of accidents that drivers had experienced.…”

Aggressive/hostile personality traits and injury accidents: an eight-year prospective study of a large cohort of French employees – the GAZEL cohort

“…In accordance with the literature, in the present study younger participants and unskilled workers were more likely to score higher on overall aggression/hostility (Deffenbacher et al 2000(Deffenbacher et al , 2003b. Also consistent with previous findings, participants who exceeded road speed limitations scored higher on overall aggression/ hostility measures.…”
