The current study firstly aimed to develop an attitude scale to measure attitudes towards disabled drivers in traffic environments (Study-1). During development of the scale process, to gain knowledge about disabled driving semi-structured interviews were conducted with 28 active drivers (12 disabled drivers, 16 non-disabled drivers). Interview results were analyzed and results provided a basis for the development of ‘Attitudes towards disabled drivers scale (ADDS). After that, in the main study, it was aimed to understand human factors of disabled drivers and attitudes of disabled and non-disabled drivers towards disabled driving. 189 disabled drivers and 349 non-disabled drivers were participated to the study. In order to measure drivers’ evaluation of self-driver behaviors and other group’s driver behaviors, Turkish version of Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) adapted by Lajunen & Özkan (2004) and The Positive Driver Behaviors Scale developed by Özkan & Lajunen (2005) were applied to both groups of drivers. Similarly, to measure drivers’ evaluation of self-driving skills and other group’s driving skills, Driver Skill Inventory (DSI) developed by (Lajunen & Summala, 1995) was applied to both groups of drivers. Lastly, to test both disabled drivers’ and non-disabled drivers’ attitudes towards disabled driving newly developed scale (ADDS) was used. The results of the Study-1 and Main study will be discussed in detail.

Development of the professional driver behavior questionnaire
Yılmaz, Şerife; Öz, Bahar; Özkan, Türker; Department of Psychology (2018)
The aim of the present study was to develop a comprehensive scale measuring professional drivers' driver behaviors. For this reason, a semi-structured interview form was prepared and applied to different professional driver groups in order to collect behavioral examples displayed in traffic context (Study 1). These examples were grouped based on Reason's taxonomy of human error and Professional Driver, Driver Behavior Scale (PDBQ) was developed. PDBQ along with some other behavior scales such as ODBQ and DB...
Self-regulatory driving practices of old and young drivers
Azık, Derya; Özkan, Türker; Department of Psychology (2015)
The aim of the current study was to investigate self-regulatory driving practices of old and young drivers by examining underlying factors and possible benefits on drivers’ aberrant behaviors. 258 active male drivers (120 older, 138 younger) participated in the study. Older drivers’ age range was determined as 60-75 and younger drivers’ age range was determined as 21-30. For testing motivator factors of self-regulatory driving practices, Health and Functional Abilities Scale (Molnar et al., 2013), Self-Rate...
The Relationship between the health belief model constructs and driver behaviors: mediating role of driving skills
Özbay, İrem; Öz, Bahar; Özkan, Türker; Department of Psychology (2017)
The aim of the present study is to examine the relationship between driver behaviors (emphasized violations), the Health Belief Model (HBM) constructs, and driver skills. Although the HBM is a widely used model in health settings, there are very few studies investigating the model at traffic settings. In the present study a total of 505 drivers (217 female, 288 male) whose mean age was 27 participated. The Driver Behavior Questionnaire was used to measure driver behaviors; that is, violations within the sco...
Assessment of computer-based and self-reported hazard perception skills among drivers : the role of personality and driving skills
Ünal, Ayça Berfu; Sümer, Nebi; Department of Psychology (2006)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlates and predictors of hazard perception skill among drivers. Specifically, it was examined whether novice and experienced drivers would differ from each other in terms of hazard perception skill. In addition, the role of personality factors and driving skills in predicting hazard perception among drivers was inspected. Drivers’ hazard perception skills were assessed by using both a computer-based hazard perception latency test (Turkish Hazard Percep...
Trip-focused organizational safety climate: Investigating the relationships with errors, violations and positive driver behaviours in professional driving
Öz, Bahar; Özkan, Türker (Elsevier BV, 2014-09-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between trip-focused organizational safety climate, and driver behaviours, (i.e., errors, violations and positive driver behaviours) in professional driving. A total of 219 male professional drivers participated in the study. The participants were asked to fill out the Driver Behaviour Questionnaire together with the Positive Driver Behaviours Scale; Trip-focused Organizational Safety Climate Scale (TOSCS); and a demographic information form. Factor ...
