The Prosocial and Aggressive Driving Inventory is a self-report questionnaire that includes two scales measuring safe (prosocial) and unsafe (aggressive) driving practices. The prosocial behavior refers to a way of driving that potentially protect the well-being of passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians. The aggressive behavior is a way of driving that puts the driver and others at risk. The questionnaire consists of 29 items, rated on a 6-point scale: never, almost never, sometimes, fairly often, very often, and always.
