“…Extended versions of the TBP have also highlighted the role of injunctive, descriptive, personal and moral norms in predicting such behaviours (e.g., Cestac, Paran, & Delhomme, 2011, 2014Cooke, Dahdah, Norman, & French, 2016;Elliott, Armitage, & Baughan, 2003;. Also, research on the psychosocial determinants of aberrant driving behaviours have investigated the influence of sex roles, gender stereotypes (Degraeve, Granié, Pravossoudovitch, & Lo Monaco, 2015;Granié, 2009;Özkan & Lajunen, 2005;Pravossoudovitch, Martha, Cury, & Granié, 2015;Sullman, Paxion, & Stephens, 2017) and that of such personality traits as aggressive behaviours (Lajunen, Parker, & Stradling, 1998), sensation seeking (Iversen & Rundmo, 2004;Ulleberg & Rundmo, 2003), empathy and conformity (Nordfjaern & Şimşekoğlu, 2014). More recently, Nordfjaern and colleagues have questioned the role of cultural factors in determining risky behaviours for both pedestrians (Nordfjaern & Şimşekoğlu, 2013;Nordfjaern & Zavareh, 2016) and drivers (Nordfjaern & Şimşekoğlu, 2014) in Middle East .…”

Driving offences can be a cause of road crashes and their psychosocial determinants have been studied using different approaches. Recent studies have found that cultural values, transposed at individual level through the vertical-horizontal individualism-collectivism model, may be relevant for understanding offending behaviours in drivers and pedestrians. Within this framework, we propose to test these relationships in a sample of French drivers (N = 666). In addition, we aim to explore the role of situational factors and gender differences, as potential moderators for the effects of individualist and collectivist values on offending behaviours. In an online survey experiment, drivers had to evaluate their probabilities of committing several driving offences in three driving situations, manipulating traffic density level and the probability of being caught by the authorities. Statistical analyses showed that, compared to a control situation, probabilities of offending were lower in the heavy traffic condition and even lower in the high probability of being caught condition. Probabilities of offending were also higher for men than women and were positively predicted by vertical individualism. However, the main effects suggested that horizontal collectivism and vertical individualism predicted posit offences for men only, depending on situation for vertical individualism. These results were qualified by significant interactions between driving situation, gender and vertical individualism and between gender and horizontal collectivism. These findings are discussed in relation to gender differences in value expression. Perspectives to improve the relevance of the value framework mobilized, the importance to consider situational context to understand driving offending behaviours and safety implications are also discussed.

“…Overall, a different risk profile between female and male adolescents was confirmed, with males having a higher risk propensity (Cordellieri et al, 2016(Cordellieri et al, , 2019. Males' greater propensity to engage in risky road behavior also seems to be encouraged by gender stereotypes (Yeung and von Hippel, 2008;Chateignier et al, 2011;Moè et al, 2015;Pravossoudovitch et al, 2015).…”

BackgroundExtensive research showed that multitasking negatively affects driving performance. Multitasking activities can range from talking and texting to listening to music; particularly among young drivers, multitasking behavior is caused mainly from mobile phone use while driving which is one of the main causes of road accidents.ObjectiveThe main purpose of this study was to investigate whether some variables (e.g., Sensation-Seeking, preferences of Multitasking) could affect mobile phone use while driving in young drivers and whether any gender differences were present among the examined variables.Setting and participantsThe sample consists of 424 Italian students (56% males) with an age range of 18–21 years. A self-report questionnaire was specifically developed to assess variables such as: Attitude toward Multitasking, Perceived Self-efficacy in Multitasking, Accident Risk Perception, General Multitasking Habits, and Sensation Seeking.ResultsThrough SEM modeling, we found the attitude to multitasking while driving to be largely explained by the considered variables. Using multigroup analysis (MGSEM), the model we developed appears to be suitable for explaining the behaviors of both male and female young drivers. Furthermore, data comparison showed that females were more likely to risk perception toward multitasking, and risk perception when using a mobile phone while driving, while males obtained higher mean scores in Sensation Seeking, Perceived Self-Efficacy in Multitasking, and in Multitasking caused by mobile phone use while driving.ConclusionOur research showed how some variables may influence the inclination of some subjects to engage in multitasking while driving. Furthermore, we discussed the importance of considering these variables in the implementation of effective road safety education projects on driving multitasking.

“…A study looking at the trends in recurrent coronary heart disease (CHD) after myocardial infarction (MI) among US women and men between 2008 and 2017 found that the rates of recurrent MI, recurrent CHD events, heart failure hospitalization, and mortality in the first year after an MI declined considerably between 2008 and 2017 in both men and women, with proportionally greater reductions for women than men (Peters et al, 2021). Behavioural factors Overestimate risks (Bergdahl, 2005;Bramness, Skurtveit, Morland, & Engeland, 2012;Pravossoudovitch, Martha, Cury, & Granie, 2015).…”

The motivation for happiness research rather than GDP is becoming important to the role of many governments across the globe. When people are asked to list the key characteristics of a good life, they are more likely to include happiness, health, living well and longer. This study investigates whether factors that predict men’s happiness and life satisfaction explain why men die earlier than women. The present research analyses data (N=426,452; 51.90% females) collected by the World Value Survey from 1981 to 2020 in 102 countries, and from six continents. A multilevel random-effects regression analysis was conducted in which individuals were nested by countries. We investigated variations across nations, country-level of development, and geographical regions. Men were slightly less happy and less satisfied with their lives compared to women. State of health, household’s financial satisfaction, freedom of choice, family importance, and being married were positively associated with happiness/life satisfaction. In contrast, being men, being in a low-income household, or being unemployed were negatively associated with happiness/life satisfaction. Unemployed men and men who were living in Africa or the Middle East regions were less satisfied with their lives compared to women. The excess mortality burden on men is due to a mix of biological, behavioural, and social factors. Happy people may live longer because of underlying factors such as health status, household financial satisfaction, and social connections. Policies targeting men’s health and social connections are needed.
