摘要:This research investigated the psychometric properties and the factorial invariance across genders of the Propensity for Angry Driving Scale (PADS), using data from a Romanian college sample (n = 227). Exploratory factor analysis supported the unidimensionality of the scale, while confirmatory factor analysis revealed a good fit for the initial 19 items version, as well as for two shortened versions of 13 and 8 items, respectively. All three forms of the scale showed optimal reliability. The metric invariance across genders was achieved for the 8 items version of the scale. Also, men reported higher levels of aggressive driving than women (medium effect size). Overall, the present results suggest that the Romanian version of the PADS is a reliable tool for assessing aggressive driving
