Predicting intentions to text and call while driving using the theory of planned behaviour Sullman, M. J. M.; Hill, T.; Stephens, A. N. (Elsevier BV, 2018-10-01) There is extensive evidence that using a mobile phone while driving causes degradation in driving performance, and thereby results in reduced safety on the road. The present study examined intentions to use mobile phones while driving using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). A total of 212 Ukrainian drivers (mean age = 35 years SD =10 years; males = 82%) completed a survey that included measures of the TPB components related to intentions to send or read text messages or to make or receive handheld phon...
Investigating driving instructors: The mediating roles of driving skills in the relationship between organizational safety strategies and driver behaviours Üzümcüoğlu, Yeşim; Öz, Bahar; Özkan, Türker; Lajunen, Timo (Elsevier BV, 2021-01-01) © 2020 Elsevier LtdThe aim of the present study is to investigate the mediating roles of driving skills in relationship between organizational safety strategies and driver behaviours among driving instructors. Driving skills consist of perceptual-motor skills and safety skills. Driver behaviours are investigated under four factors: violations, errors, lapses, and positive driver behaviours. Participants were 132 driving instructors (108 male and 24 female). In order to measure organizational safety strategi...
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.

Factors influencing intentions to text while driving among Polish drivers Przepiorka, Aneta M.; Blachnio, Agata P.; Sullman, Mark J. M. (Elsevier BV, 2018-05-01) Previous research has found that using a mobile phone while driving has a detrimental effect on driver safety and performance. The present study used the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to examine a number of factors thought to be related to intentions to send or read text messages while driving. A total of 298 Polish drivers completed a survey that included measures of the TPB components related to intentions to send or read text messages in four different scenarios. The scenarios differed according to w...
Lifestyle traits as predictors of driving behaviour in urban areas of Greece Chliaoutakis, JE; Koukouli, S; Lajunen, T; Tzamalouka, G (Elsevier BV, 2005-11-01) The aim of this study was to examine possible links between different lifestyle patterns and aberrant driver's behaviour. Personal interviews were conducted in a representative sample of 324 adults (18-65), all residents of Crete. Aberrant driver's behaviour was assessed by the 'driver behaviour questionnaire' (DBQ). Also to measure different dimensions of lifestyle, first, a 26-items questionnaire was used, and second, three questions measuring 'driving without destination', related in previous findings wi...
