“…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.…”

A complex set of factors may affect transportation mode choice. While earlier studies have often considered objective factors in determining preferences of public transport use as a sustainable transportation, subjective factors such as personality traits are underexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of personality traits on the number of future public transport use. Additionally, “car habit” and “intention toward using public modes” were considered to be important. For this purpose, a case study from departure passengers at Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKIA, Tehran, Iran) was conducted between January and February 2015 at IKIA. Results of structural equation modeling (SEM) shows that only neuroticism and extraversion personality traits were significant in determining future public transportation mode choice. However, the model indicates that these traits indirectly influence intention and car habit. Neuroticism was found to have a total effect of −0.022 on future public transport use, which represents a negative association with public transport use, while extraversion positively influenced future public transport use with a total effect of 0.031. Moreover, the results found interestingly that car access had a better fit to the data than the number of cars in household (NCH); both had significant positive effect on car habit, but only car access had a significant influence on intention. Furthermore, the effect of socio-demographic variables such as age, gender, educational level, income level, and body mass index (BMI) were determined to be significant in identifying choice of future transport mode to airports, which is explained in the discussion section of this paper.

“…Z kolei dane francuskiego koncernu motoryzacyjnego PSA oraz niepublikowane wyniki obserwacji przeprowadzonej przez praktyków z zakresu psychologii transportu w Polsce pokazują, że starsze osoby ekstrawertywne uzyskują niższe wyniki w testach sprawności w ruchu drogowym niż introwertycy w okresie późnej dorosłości (37). Według kolejnych doniesień francuskich (38) wśród kierowców uczęszczających na kursy reedukacyjne dla osób łamiących przepisy ruchu drogowego przeważają, w odniesieniu do grupy porównawczej, ekstrawertywni męż-czyźni z widocznym rysem neurotycznym.…”

StreszczenieWstęp: Istotnym predyktorem zachowań drogowych kierowców są determinanty temperamentalno-osobowościowe. Głównym celem pracy było określenie zależności między determinantami temperamentalno-osobowościowymi (neurotyzm, ekstrawersja, poziom lęku jako cechy) a drogowymi zachowaniami ryzykownymi przejawianymi przez kierowców transportu medycznego. Materiał i metody: Badaniu poddano 106 mężczyzn z terenu województwa wielkopolskiego -kierowców pracujących w opiece zdrowotnej, mających uprawnienia do prowadzenia pojazdów uprzywilejowanych. Do realizacji celów badawczych pracy zastosowano ankietę własnego autorstwa dotyczącą drogowych zachowań ryzykownych wśród kierowców transportu medycznego. W celu określenia predyspozycji temperamentalno-osobowościowych zastosowano metody kwestionariuszowe oparte na samoocenie: Kwestionariusz Osobowości Eysencka (Eysenck Personality Questionnaire -Revised -EPQ-R) oraz polską wersję Inwentarza Stanu i Cechy Lęku (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory -STAI). Wyniki: Wykazano, że kierowcy o cechach introwertywnych częściej niż osoby ekstrawertywne deklarują prowadzenie pojazdów o obniżonej sprawności technicznej. Poziom lęku jako cechy może wpływać na przejawianie zachowań rozpraszających, podejmowanie decyzji o jeździe niesprawnym pojazdem, a także na prowadzenie pojazdu w złym stanie psychofizycznym oraz utrzymywanie zbyt małej odległości od pojazdu poprzedzającego. Im wyższe natężenie cechy lęku, tym wyższe natężenie ww. danych zachowań. Wnioski: Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań można przyjąć, że istnieje zależność między determinantami temperamentalno-osobowościowymi a deklarowanymi przez kierowców transportu medycznego zachowaniami ryzykownymi na drodze. W myśl uzyskanych wyników cechami różnicującymi badane osoby są wymiary ekstrawersji i lęk jako cecha. Med.

The main objective of the study was to determine the relationship between personality determinants (neuroticism, extraversion, level of anxiety -features) and distinguishable risky behaviors of drivers of medical transport vehicles. Material and Methods: The study covered 106 male drivers from the Wielkopolskie Voivodeship, working in health care, having a license to drive emergency vehicles. To achieve the research objectives a questionnaire was developed and applied. It concerned risky road behaviors among drivers of medical transport. The personality suitability was determined using the questionnaire methods on self-assessment: Polish versions of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire -Revised (EPQ-R) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire. Results: It was shown that drivers with introverted characteristics declare driving vehicles of reduced technical efficiency more often than extroverts. The level of the anxiety as a trait A-characteristic affects the display of distra...

“…Both participants had different temperament and character profiles according to the TCI-R, yet neither was characterized as novelty seeking, a temperament trait that is correlated with risk-taking behaviors (34). Although researchers (35–37) examined personality traits on the fitness to drive abilities of middle-age and older drivers, to our knowledge, no study to date has examined the relationship between temperament and character traits in the TCI-R and driving outcomes, in the youth population. Future research is needed with adequately powered samples to identify any existing correlations.…”

Introduction: The DriveFocus™ intervention addresses the ability of young drivers to detect and respond to critical roadway information. DriveFocus is an interactive video-based tablet application that teaches users how to detect and prioritize critical roadway items. However, young drivers with and without experience may respond differently to the intervention. Objectives: We compared the simulated driving performance of two 17 year-old licensed drivers with (novice) and without (learner) driving experience, after three (post-test 1) and six (post-test 2) intervention sessions. Methods: We collected clinical, driving performance (number of visual scanning, adjustment to stimuli, and total driving errors) and acceptability data. Results: The learner driver made more visual scanning, adjustment to stimuli and total errors when compared to the novice. Both participants exhibited a decrease in both types and number of driving errors from baseline to post-test 2 and the learner also made less driving errors at post-test 1. Both participants rated the perceived ease of use of the intervention favorably. Conclusions : This study lays the foundation to examine the impact of the DriveFocus™ intervention among novice and more experienced young drivers.
