“…In contrast to the definition of the BF trait, which is conventionally assumed to be a relatively stable personality trait, research related to mindfulness shows that the mindfulness personality can change over time as a result of life experiences or through mindfulness practice [23,47,48]. It is also quite interesting to see the results of previous research [49] where the mindfulness variable is placed as an exogenous variable while BF is the mediator, showing the results that conscientiousness and neuroticism significantly mediated the effects of the relationship between the subject's mindfulness levels and the riding performance. These variations of mindfulness position as a variable supply a space to conduct more research regarding how mindfulness training could be used as a therapy for motorcyclists in intervening with personality interventions.…”

Human errors have commonly been perceived as the dominant cause of accidents. Different individuals may behave differently towards certain situations, leading to accidents. This study aims to model the relationship between the riders’ personalities, riding performance, and the probability of being involved in an accident. Adding mindfulness as a mediating variable and demographic factors as moderating variables are also essential points to developing the model. The Big Five Inventory (BFI) and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) were used to measure the respondents' traits, while the Honda Riding Trainer (HRT) was used as a simulation tool. The Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) analysis shows that only the neuroticism variable significantly predicts mindfulness and riding performance. The openness and conscientiousness variables only significantly predicted mindfulness, while agreeableness is the only Big Five personality that significantly predicted riding performance. The results also show that although the mindfulness (M) variable in this study has not been able to become a mediating variable, it is strong enough as an exogenous variable for riding performance. The logistic regression analysis found that the worse the rider's performance, the greater the chance of an accident. Female riders are more than twice as likely to have an accident as male riders. These results indicate the need to research road safety that is differentiated by sex and its characteristics based on it. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2023-09-018 Full Text: PDF
