Decision-making style, driving style and self-reported involvement on road traffic accidents

Article Abstract:

A survey of 711 drivers conducted through mail resolved to discover the role of age, sex and decision-making manner to accident susceptibility. Driving control increases proportionally with age, with a notable increase between the under 20s and over 20s. Males score higher on control than females but differences level out by the age of 60. A constant improvement in thoroughness occurs between late adolescence and 30s and no perceptible alteration thereafter. Instinctiveness increased with age after the age of 50, with females relying more on instinct than males.

Speeding in relation to perceptions of risk, utility and driving style by British company car drivers

Article Abstract:

A survey was conducted on British company car drivers to study the relationship between speeding and risk and utility perceptions and perceived control and driver self-perceptions. Speeding drivers are less likely to consider their behavior as a risk factor, but are more likely to place emphasis on punctuality. They see themselves as more confident but less sociable and less aware.

The relationship between traffic congestion, driver stress and direct versus indirect coping behaviours

Article Abstract:

The link between traffic congestion, driver stress and coping behaviors is investigated. Driver disposition to stress and reactions to low or high traffic congestion are measured. Results show that driving in highly congested traffic congestions leads to higher state stress. Drivers who indicated predisposition to driver stress showed more elevation in state stress.
