Drivers’ subtypes in a sample of Italian adolescents: Relationship between personality measures and driving behaviors

The Role of Personality Traits through Habit and Intention on Determining Future Preferences of Public Transport Use

“…Specifically, in transportation studies, there is considerable literature about personality traits and their relationship with driving style and risk-taking behaviors [10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21]. Almost all of these studies conclude that assessing personality traits is useful for predicting driving behavior.…”

Impulsivity and Aggressive Driving as Mediators between Self-Esteem and Stress in Mexican Drivers

“…This paper provides theoretical insight onto how psychological constructs within individuals themselves have an impact on their driving styles and behaviors, such as was found in other studies (de Schutter et al, 2016;Hahn et al, 2016). It also paves the road towards the conception of a fixed set of driving styles or driver personalities in Mexico, such as Marengo et al(2012)propose in Italy.…”

“…There is research supporting this argument. A study carried out in Italian adolescents (Marengo et al, 2012) characterized three different subgroups of drivers, where there is a pattern of high risk, high sensation-seeking, high impulsivity, and low scores of altruism and anxiety, such as proposed. Additionally, Panayiotou (2015) posits that there is a driver profile that selfcenteredness and a lack of concern of other's well-being is based on a high level of impulsivity and a lack of selfcontrol, which again points to a distinct driver profile of an antisocial nature.…”

Drivers with higher levels of sensation seeking, impulsivity, and risk-taking, in general show a lack of concern for other people's well being and their personal safety, as well as an openness to participate in activities that put their lives in danger (Marengo et al, 2012), which suits Shinar's (2007) definition of aggressive driving.…”

Developing of an English Version of the Aggressive Driving Behavior Test (AVIS). Improving the Construct Validity of Aggressive Driving

“…It has been shown that aggressive driving is predicted by demographic variables such as gender and age (Marengo et al 2012;Schwerdtfeger et al 2010) as well as variables that refer to the psychological characteristics of the driver, such as personality factors (Krahe and Fenske 2002;Dahlen and White 2006;Dahlen et al 2012;Harris and Houston 2010;Herzberg 2009;Benfield et al 2007;Jovanovic et al 2011;Renner and Anderle 2000). Regarding the effect of driving aggression it was shown that high levels of aggressive driving predicts involvement in traffic accidents (Arnau-Sabates et al 2013;Sumer 2003;Lucidi et al 2010;Brandau et al 2011;Matthews et al 1991;Smith and Kirkham 1981;Loo 1979;Arthur and Doverspike 2001;Arthur and Graziano 1996), receiving a high number of fines and contraventions (Sansone et al 2012) as well as license suspension (Kim et al 2011).…”
