Psychosocial determinants of road traffic offences in a sample of Spanish male prison inmates
Abstract
Convicted traffic offenders differ from no offenders in their psychosocial profile. Road traffic offenders had similar psychosocial characteristics as other offenders. Traffic offenders scored high on neuroticism–anxiety and activity personality traits. Alcohol dependence was highly prevalent in the group of road traffic offenders. The group of road traffic offenders scored high on the Driving Anger Scale.
