However, the psychological mechanisms of anger and\/or aggression on the roads remain largely unclear. This study examines a large cohort of French employees followed over the period 1994\u20132001 to establish whether psychometric measures of aggression\/hostility were significantly associated with an increased risk of an injury accident (I-A). An I-A was defined as a traffic accident in which someone was injured, that is required medical care.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Method.<\/jats:bold> A total of 11754 participants aged from 39 to 54 years in 1993 were included in this study. Aggression\/hostility was measured in 1993 using the French version of the Buss\u2013Durkee Hostility Inventory (BDHI). Driving behaviors and I-A were recorded in 2001. Sociodemographic and alcohol consumption data were available from annual follow-up of the cohort. The relationship between aggression\/hostility scores and I-A was assessed using negative binomial regression models with time-dependent covariates.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results.<\/jats:bold> The overall BDHI scoring was not statistically predictive of subsequent I-A: adjusted rate ratio (aRR) 1\u00b702, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0\u00b781\u20131\u00b728, for participants with intermediate scores and aRR 1\u00b725, 95% CI 0\u00b798\u20131\u00b761 for those with high scores, both compared to those with low scores. The only BDHI subscales found to be associated with I-A were \u2018irritability\u2019 (aRR 1\u00b733, 95% CI 1\u00b702\u20131\u00b775 for participants with high scores) and \u2018negativism\u2019 (aRR 1\u00b732, 95% CI 1\u00b701\u20131\u00b771 for participants with high scores).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion.<\/jats:bold> Overall aggression\/hostility personality traits did not predict I-A in this large cohort of French employees, suggesting that aggressiveness on the roads and\/or anger behind the wheel extend beyond the individual's general propensity for aggression.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291705006562","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,7]],"date-time":"2005-12-07T07:08:56Z","timestamp":1133939336000},"page":"365-373","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Aggressive\/hostile personality traits and injury accidents: an eight-year prospective study of a large cohort of French employees \u2013 the GAZEL cohort"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"HERMANN","family":"NABI","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SILLA M.","family":"CONSOLI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"MIREILLE","family":"CHIRON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SYLVIANE","family":"LAFONT","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JEAN","family":"FRAN\u00c7OIS CHASTANG","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"MARIE","family":"ZINS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"EMMANUEL","family":"LAGARDE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,7]]},"container-title":["Psychological Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S0033291705006562","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,4]],"date-time":"2019-04-04T17:35:21Z","timestamp":1554399321000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S0033291705006562\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,7]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2006,3]]}},"alternative-id":["S0033291705006562"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/s0033291705006562","relation":{},"ISSN":["0033-2917","1469-8978"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0033-2917","type":"print"},{"value":"1469-8978","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,7]]}}}
