TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Prevalence of affective states in Australian truck and train drivers JO - Journal of the Australasian College of Road Safety A1 - Chalmers, Taryn A1 - Lal, Sara SP - 13 EP - 18 VL - 27 IS - 1 N2 - Within this exploratory preliminary study, data is presented regarding the prevalence of specific mood states within a sample of Australian truck and train drivers. A total of 49 heavy vehicle truck drivers and 58 train drivers were recruited from the local community. Subjects completed a mood state questionnaire. Numerous mood states (tension anxiety, depression-dejection, anger-aggression, fatigue inertia, confusion-bewilderment and total mood disturbance score) were found to be significantly higher (p<0.05) in the truck-driving sample than the train driving sample, and higher than the advised normative values.p />
