Methods Three hundred and forty drivers were investigated at random by DCQ and positive affect nagative affect scale (PANAS). Results Four factors were extracted, namely active appraisal and coping, confrontive coping, emotion-focused coping and avoidance coping. The correlation coefficients between the questionnaire and the four factors were 0.317 ～ 0. 813 (P ＜ 0.01 ), and the correlation coefficients among the four factors were 0.057 ～0.294. Positive appraisal and coping were correlated with PA positively( r=0. 171, P＜0. 01 ) ,and with NA negatively( r= -0. 349, P＜0.01 ),and the other three coping styles were positively correlated with NA( r=0. 242 ～0.262, P＜0.01 ). The split-half reliability was 0.734,the Cronbach α coefficients of the total questionnaire and four factors were 0. 807,0. 890,0. 621,0. 571and 0. 687 respectively.
