HERRERO-FERNANDEZ, David; FONSECA-BAEZA, Sara  and  PLA-SANCHO, Sara. Factorial structure of Driving Log in a Spanish sample. Revista de Psicología [online]. 2014, vol.32, n.1, pp.67-90. ISSN 0254-9247.

The present study aimed the adaptation of the Driving Log, a questionnaire that assesses aggressive and risky driving behaviors in a day by day basis, with 395 Spanish participants. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the questionnaire fitted properly in two correlated factors, labeled as Risky Driving and Aggressive Driving. Subsequent analyses showed that the number of drives is significantly associated to Risky Driving, while the number of occasions in which anger is experimented correlated with Risky Driving as well as Aggressive Driving. Other findings suggest that men behave in a more risky and aggressive manner than women. Young people follow this same tendency in comparison to their elders.

Keywords : driving log; risky driving; aggressive driving.
