Abstract

The current study aimed to investigate the relationship of frustration tolerance and impulsivity with driving anger. A Purposive sample of 279 participants was taken from University of the Punjab, Lahore which included 179 students, 50 teachers and 50 employees. The mean age of the sample was 27 years. Measures used in the study included Driving Anger Scale, new self-report measure of Impulsivity and Frustration Tolerance Scale of Symptom Checklist-R. After taking consent from the participants’ data was collected. Regression analysis showed that impulsivity was a significant predictor of driving anger in students whereas in employees’ frustration tolerance was a significant predictor of driving anger. None of the variables predicted driving anger in teachers’ group. Results were discussed in the light of currently available literature.
