The main aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between human's basic values and driving related vengeance within the traffic setting. Based on the postulates of Refined Theory of Basic Individual Values (Schwarts et al., 2012), this study expected specific relationships among human's value orientations, value prioritizations and driving vengeance. A total of 226 participants have taken an online survey to measure self-reports of driving vengeance and value importance and driver-relevant demographics. The results of the regression analysis revealed that Self-Enhancement values of Power-Dominance and Achievement were positively; Security value of Conformity-Rules were negatively related to driving vengeance. Moreover, contrast analysis has revealed how value orientations of males can play a role in the manifestation of socially aberrant driving behaviors that are based on taking retribution. The findings of the study have provided an understanding with regards to the value dynamics that took place within the traffic setting. Specifically, it has been indicated that the value trade-off between Self-Enhancement values Security values were prominent in determination of traffic related behaviors. Based on this, value-based interventions that target early education of individuals and future drivers may reduce the occurrence of driving related aggression. Consequently, this might lead to improved road safety and a healthier driving environment.
