This article investigates gender differences in psychological health indicators among drivers using Leonard Derogatis’ SCL-90-R. The study involved 527 drivers, including 411 males and 116 females. The findings revealed significant gender differences in somatization, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, anxiety, hostility, and phobic anxiety. Male drivers demonstrated higher levels of somatization, anxiety, hostility, and phobic symptoms, whereas female drivers showed higher obsessive-compulsive tendencies. No statistically significant differences were found regarding depression. The results emphasize the importance of considering gender factors when assessing drivers’ psychological health.
