TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - The influence of public self-consciousness and anger on aggressive driving JO - Personality and individual differences A1 - Millar, Murray SP - 2116 EP - 2126 VL - 43 IS - 8 N2 - This study examined how anger interacted with public self-consciousness to influence aggressive driving. It was hypothesized that when people were angry, more aggressive driving behavior would occur when public self-consciousness was low than when public self-consciousness was high. To test this hypothesis the participants were required to complete measures of driving anger and public self-consciousness. Then participants gave a retrospective self-report of aggressive driving behavior. Further, participants were required to keep a log in which they recorded aggressive driving behavior. The results supported the prediction. Public self-consciousness interacted with anger to influence aggression while driving.
