This paper presents the results of a national survey of drivers in the Republic of Ireland that sought to examine psychological predictors of specific driving behaviours. 1638 respondents attending National Car Testing (NCT) centres nationwide completed a questionnaire battery that included personality, attitudinal, locus of control and social influence measures. The driving behaviours examined were drawn from a Driving Behaviour Scale (Iversen, 2004) and included Speeding and Rule Violation, Reckless Driving, Wearing of Seat Belts, Cautious Driving and Drink Driving. Cross-group comparisons suggested that males engaged in more risky and less cautious driving behaviours than females, and participants under the age of 25 were more risky and less cautious than those 25 years or older. Statistically significant models of each driving outcome emerged. The best model fit was for speeding and rule violation, which was predicted by a model including positive attitudes towards speeding, greater normative influences of friends and higher perceived behavioural control, extraversion and driving anger. These findings offer important insights into the correlates of different driving behaviours and can help inform the work of road safety practitioners.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0001-4575</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1879-2057</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.aap.2012.09.020</identifier><identifier>PMID: 23154054</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Kidlington: Elsevier Ltd</publisher><subject>Acceleration ; Adolescent ; Adult ; Alcohol Drinking - epidemiology ; Alcohol Drinking - psychology ; Attitudes ; Automobile Driving - psychology ; Battery ; Biological and medical sciences ; Correlation ; Dangerous driving ; Drivers ; Driving ; Drunkenness ; Female ; Forensic engineering ; Humans ; Ireland - epidemiology ; Male ; Medical sciences ; Miscellaneous ; Models, Statistical ; Personality ; Prevention and actions ; Public health.
