Jerry L. Deffenbacher’s research while affiliated with Colorado State University and other places

... La escala fue desarrollada por Deffenbacher y otros (1994) para medir la intensidad del enojo que surge mientras se opera un vehículo auto-motor. La escala, en su versión mexicana (Alcázar-Olán et al., 2019), está compuesta de cinco factores (16 ítems) que miden la magnitud del enojo cuando el automovilista se expone a estas situaciones: a) gestos hostiles de otros automovilistas (3 ítems, α = 0.82, p. ej.: "Alguien te toca el claxon por tu forma de manejar"); b) presencia de la policía (3 ítems, α = 0.73, p. ej.: "Una patrulla de tránsito va manejando cerca de ti"); c) conducción ilegal (4 ítems, α = 0.72, p. ej.: "Alguien va manejando con exceso de velocidad"); d) obstrucciones de tráfico (3 ítems, α = 0.61, p. ej.: "Estás detrás de un tráiler que no te deja ver"), y e) descortesías de otros automovilistas (3 ítems, α = 0.65, p. ej.: "Alguien se mete en el lugar de estacionamiento que estabas esperando"). El alfa de Cronbach para los 16 ítems es de 0.85 y la confiabilidad test-retest es de 0.72 para un periodo de nueve semanas. ...

... This profile was similar to Sutton's (2004) study, in which most of the participants reported that many behavioural (e.g., physical withdrawing and deep breath) and cognitive (e.g., self-talk and reappraisal) strategies were often used simultaneously to regulate their anger and frustration. It also shared some similarities with the effective emotional management programs which suggested individuals combat two aspects of intense emotion: the physiological arousal and the intrusive negative thoughts that accompany the arousal (Deffenbacher & Stark, 1992). ...

... Esta escala mide las formas en que la gente expresa su enojo durante la conducción del automóvil (Deffenbacher et al., 2002). La versión mexicana (Alcázar-Olán et al., 2018) está formada de seis factores: a) expresión personal físico agresiva (7 ítems, α = 0.89, p. ej.: "Salgo del carro y le echo bronca al otro conductor"); b) uso del vehículo para mostrar enojo (6 ítems, α = 0.83, p. ej.: "Intento meterme enfrente del otro conductor"); c) expresión adaptativa constructiva (10 ítems, α = 0.84, p. ej.: "Pongo música o la radio para calmarme"); d) agresión verbal en voz alta (4 ítems, α = 0.82, p. ej.: "Le grito groserías al otro conductor"); e) agresión verbal en voz baja (3 ítems, α = 0.78, p. ej.: "Insulto al otro conductor en voz baja"), y f ) agresión no verbal (3 ítems, α = 0.76, p. ej.: "Miro feo al otro conductor"). Las personas responden con qué frecuencia tienen estas reacciones cuando se enojan mientras manejan y eligen una de cuatro opciones de respuesta: 1 = Nunca o casi nunca, 2 = A veces, 3 = Frecuentemente o 4 = Siempre o casi siempre. ...

... While the broader relationship between anger and attention is apparent, there is some uncertainty as to how age and gender may play a role. For example, while males have been shown to report a greater incidence of driving aggression compared with females, there is less disparity between the overall experience of driving anger (Deffenbacher et al. 2016). Similarly, while research has shown that females may be more prone to attentional lapses while driving, there was no apparent difference in the reported tendency for driving errors (Aluja et al. 2023). ...

... Finally, those children who are more prone to aggressive behaviors navigated the VE faster, but there was no significant correlation with time savings. This result is in line with studies confirming that the feeling of anger predicts faster motor behavior (e.g., Deffenbacher et al., 2003;Roidl et al., 2014). ...

... Thus, people who have a strong tendency to act impulsively under the influence of negative or positive emotions in everyday life are also more likely to make dangerous mistakes when cycling. Interestingly, several studies have shown that brief and low-cost sessions to improve emotion management, inspired by cognitivebehavioral or mindfulness therapies, are effective in reducing certain harmful emotions in car and bus drivers (e.g., Baltruschat et al., 2021;Deffenbacher, 2016;Feng et al., 2018). These interventions could be adapted and tested with cyclists. ...

... Esta conclusión está en la misma línea de un estudio metaanalítico (Archer, 2004) donde no hubo diferencias en la frecuencia en que se enojan los hombres y las mujeres. Tampoco se ha encontrado que el sexo influya para reconocer problemas de enojo (Alcázar-Olán et al., 2015). Así, en las comparaciones por sexo parece que "no existe un patrón fijo que describa con precisión las diferencias disposicionales en el enojo para hombres o para mujeres" (Fischer y Evers, 2010, p. 350). ...

... Consistent with the notion that smoking cessation treatment that is personalized to the psychological needs of the client is needed (e.g., Banducci, Long, & MacPherson, 2015;Rath, Walitzer, & Deffenbacher, 2016), Treatment for Anxiety and Smoking Cessation (TASC) integrates FSET with CBT for smoking cessation to simultaneously treat smoking and anxiety disorders. TASC integrates CBT techniques designed to help patients quit smoking (e.g., refusal skills, coping with craving) with FSET skills designed to help patients learn to manage their anxiety (e.g., elimination of FSBs). ...
