Drivers’ Age, Gender, Driving Experience, and Aggressiveness as Predictors of Aggressive Driving Behaviour
2011
ABSTRACT Recent years have seen a growing interest in the problem of aggressive driving. In the present study two demographic variables (gender and age), two non-psychological driving-experience related variables (annual mileage and legal driving experience in years) and aggressiveness as a personality trait (including behavioural and affective components) as psychological variable of individual differences were examined as potential predictors of aggressive driving. The aim of the study was to find out the best predictors of aggressive driving behaviour. The study was based on an online survey, and 228 vehicle drivers in Latvia participated in it. The questionnaire included eight-item Aggr…
ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT VISUAL STRATEGIES OF 'ISOLATED VEHICLE' AND 'DISTURBED VEHICLE'
2017
This paper analyses the driver’ visual behaviour in the different conditions of ‘isolated vehicle’ and ‘disturbed vehicle’. If the meaning of the former is clear, the latter condition considers the influence on the driving behaviour of various objects that could be encountered along the road. These can be classified in static (signage, stationary vehicles at the roadside, etc.) and dynamic objects (cars, motorcycles, bicycles). The aim of this paper is to propose a proper analysis regarding the driver’s visual behaviour. In particular, the authors examined the quality of the visually informa-tion acquired from the entire road environment, useful for detecting any critical safety condition. …
Attitude Function as a Moderator in Values-Attitudes-Behavior Relations
2011
Abstract The aim of the present study was to find whether attitude functions could be useful in predicting aberrant driving. One of the attitudes functions is to express values; hence, we hypothesized that attitudes whose function is to express values will better predict traffic violations. We explored: (i) values in relation to attitudes towards aberrant driving behavior by regression analysis; (ii) and we explored moderating role of attitude functions in value-attitude-behavior relations. The study sample included 305 respondents who completed self-report questionnaires. Current research confirms previous results and also shows that values do predict attitudes when individual had formed h…
Miega problēmu saistība ar autovadīšanas kvalitāti
2021
Konkrētā pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot vai starp miega problēmām un autovadīšanas kvalitāti pastāv nozīmīgas saistības, kā arī kādi varētu būt autovadīšanas uzvedības un attieksmes prognozētāji. Datu analīzē tika izmantoti 94 respondentu dati vecumā no 19 līdz 75 (M=36, SD=13). Respondenti aizpildīja Aiovas miega traucējumu, Autovadītāju uzvedības un Attieksmes pret pārgalvīgu braukšanu aptaujas. Tika secināts, ka gurdums ir pozitīvi nozīmīgi saistīts ar pārkāpumiem, bīstamām kļūdām un nejaušības kļūdām, kā arī attieksmi pret pārkāpumiem. Gurdums nozīmīgi prognozēja attieksmi pret pārkāpumiem. Attieksme pret pārkāpumiem un izdevību izmantošanu, kā arī vecums nozīmīgi prognozēja pārkāpumus…
