Summary Lin uses two separate studies with independent samples and different measures to explore how self-control personality traits - sensation seeking, impulsivity, CFC, and anger/temper arousal - relate to risky driving and aggressive driving within the framework of the GAM.

The findings not only validate the meditational model of the GAM, but also imply that it could serve as a useful framework to study violent/property crime in future r
