| Abstract |
Sources of stress among Western Australian car and truck drivers were investigated using a previously-developed Driver Behaviour Inventory. Associations between reported stress and drivers' accidents or violation records were also examined. Factor analyses related truck drivers' stress more to occupational demands and to imperturbability, whereas car drivers' stress was related more to psychological health, age, experience and aggression. The results are discussed and recommendations made for improvements in road safety. |
