“…The Bulgarian version of the MDSI was developed from previous versions of the inventory, namely the original MDSI [9], the Argentinian version [10] and the Romanian version [11]. In order to maintain as much correspondence as possible between the Bulgarian version of the MDSI and these previous versions, the MDSI-BG included 44 items from the original instrument, 12 items from the Argentinian version and 7 items from the Romanian adaptation of the inventory.…”

“…The last dimension is the 'patient and careful driving' which includes two styles: careful and patient styles. These styles are characterized by patience, attention and tolerance while driving, as well as behaviour which is reasonable and healthy during driving [10,11].…”

“…Second, the MDSI determines positive driving behaviours that were mostly neglected in previous research because of focusing on the behaviours associated with risky driving. Third, the method was originally created in Israel in 2004, it was re-evaluated a decade later and was adopted in different cultural contexts in countries like Brazil, Argentina, Belgium, Netherland, Malaysia and Romania [10,11,[17][18][19]. The original development of the instrument reported several indicators of the MDSI's reliability and validity [9].…”

“…The original development of the instrument reported several indicators of the MDSI's reliability and validity [9]. The angry, risky and high-velocity driving styles were positively and significantly associated with self-reports of vehicle crashes as well as with traffic offences, and the careful driving style was significantly related to fewer traffic crashes [10]. All this evidence and the listed qualities suggest a clear advantage for the use of MDSI as a reliable and valid instrument in traffic psychology research.…”

Road safety is one of the main priorities for the European Union. Different strategies and policies strive to increase the level of road safety across Europe and although this level has increased in the last couple of years the number of injuries and fatalities resulting from traffic accidents is still very high. The multidimensional driving style inventory (MDSI) is a self-reported instrument for the assessment of a person’s habitual driving style and its connection to risky driving behaviour and involvement in different traffic accidents. The instrument was originally developed in Israel and there are several previous adaptations in different countries such as Argentina and Romania. The main objective of this study is to develop a valid and reliable version of the MDSI in Bulgaria. A study was conducted to evaluate the construction validity of the instrument and to test the validity of the factors in a Bulgarian sample (n = 456, male = 204; female = 252; average age = 37). Eight factors representing a specific driving style—dissociative, anxious, risky, angry, high-velocity, distress reduction, patient and careful and irrational—identified by previous versions of the MDSI are included in this study. The overall number of items in the inventory is 57 with Cronbach’s alpha = 0.78. The current study in Bulgaria confirmed the structural organization of the initial version of the inventory. The results of the conducted study supported the reliability and validity of the Bulgarian version of the MDSI. The possible implementation of the instrument for the development of different programs for preventions and interventions is discussed here within.

The purpose of this study was to translate and examine the psychometric properties of a driving self-efficacy scale developed by Dorn and Machin (2004). The factor structure, reliability and external validity of the scale were examined in a sample of 447 drivers from Cordoba, Argentina. In addition, measurement invariance across sex was also tested. Results from a confirmatory factor analysis support the unidimensional structure of the scale and the invariance of its parameters (configural, metric and scalar) between men and women. Reliability analyses using alpha and omega coefficients revealed high internal consistency (coefficients equal to .81 in both cases) and satisfactory evidence of external validity of the scale scores, with measures of risk perception, risky driving, history of traffic crashes and fines. Finally, results also showed that the scale seems to be relatively robust against response biases due to social desirability. In summary, findings support the validity and reliability of the scale in Argentina. However, further studies analyzing additional psychometric properties are needed.
