Exploration Of The Factor Structure And Internal Consistency Of The Aggressive Driving Behavior Questionnaire (Adbq)

The present investigation is part of a series of studies to develop a questionnaire for assessing propensity to engage in aggressive driving behavior. The 20-item Aggressive Driving Behavior Questionnaire (ADBQ) was administered to a sample of 495 college students from two universities. The data were factor analyzed, yielding six factors accounting for 56% of the variance and representing distinct aspects of aggressive driving. The ADBQ was also found to have a high internal consistency (Cronbach\u27s alpha = .77). Directions for future development and validation of the ADBQ are discussed.
