Abstract

This paper is intended to develop Indonesian Driving Anger Scale by adopting several items of driving anger short scale developed by Deffenbacher et al in the USA. The respondents were asked to rate the amount of anger that would be provoked from none at all, a little, some, much and very much if the items in the questionnaire were actually happened. Respondents were 176 car drivers or motorcycle riders aged at least 17 years old and hold a valid driving license from Greater Jakarta. The proportion of respondents by gender was 116 males and 60 females. There were only 4 items trigger anger more than average (more than mean score 3.00), i.e. other driver yell at you rudely (3.90), someone weaving in and out of traffic (3.67), other driver drove very slowly in the fast lane and therefore slowing traffic (3.26) and someone backs right out in front of you without looking (3.68). Male respondents (2.85) were significantly (α=0.003) more hot-tempered than female respondents (2.55) in terms of mean score of 14 items
