“…For example, Hannold et al (2013) found that OEF/OIF veterans sought to implement specific strategies to mitigate most of their driving-related difficulties, with the notable exception of aggressive driving. Individuals with PTSD have been found to be more likely to perceive threat and to attribute hostile intentions to perceived provocation by others (Dodge, Bates, & Pettit, 1990; Taft et al, 2015), and PTSD-related aggression has been found to be largely impulsive in nature (Heinz, Makin-Byrd, Blonigen, Reilly, & Timko, 2015; Miles, Menefee, Wanner, Teten Tharp, & Kent, 2015; Teten et al, 2010) and associated with symptoms of hyperarousal (Kachadourian et al, 2013; Pavic et al, 2003). In the context of driving, then, veterans with PTSD may be more likely to perceive threat and to attribute hostile intent to other drivers, diminishing their motivation to inhibit impulsive aggressive responses for which they are already physiologically primed.…”
