abstract="Drivers who exhibit dangerous driving behaviours, such as aggressive, risky, and negative emotion cognition driving, are more likely to be involved in road crashes. A key motivator behind unsafe driving behaviours is driving anger. However, it is unclear whether lifestyle, driving anger, and dangerous driving behaviours are related. A total of 344 Chinese drivers with a formal driving license were asked to complete the socio-demographic information, the Chinese lifestyle questionnaire (Self-designed), the 14 items Driving Anger Scale (DAS), and the Dula Dangerous Driving Index (DDDI). The Chinese driver's lifestyles were analysed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), revealing a four-factor structure (&quot;Culture&quot;, &quot;Workaholism&quot;, &quot;Sports&quot; and &quot;Amusement&quot;). The 14 items DAS factor structure was determined using a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), yielding a two-factor structure (&quot;Safety Concern anger&quot; and &quot;Arrival Concern anger&quot;). Based on Hierarchical Multiple Regression (HMR), only &quot;Workaholism&quot; was associated with aggressive, risky, and negative emotion cognition driving. The trait driving anger was examined as a mediator between the &quot;Workaholism&quot; and dangerous driving (aggressive, risky, and negative emotion cognition driving) through a Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach. &quot;Workaholism&quot; was shown to influence these dangerous driving behaviours through trait driving anger. Lastly, this article discussed the theoretical and practical implications and research limitations.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
