The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between driving self-regulation (i.e., strategical, tactical, and life-goal) and aberrant driver behaviors (i.e., violations, errors, and lapses). 120 old and 138 young, a total of 258 active drivers participated and filled Revised version of Advanced Decisions and Patterns of Travel Scale (Molnar, et al, 2013) and Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) (Reason et al., 1990; Lajunen, & Özkan, 2004). The results showed that tactical self-regulation was negatively related to ordinary violations scores, while strategical self-regulation was positively related to ordinary violations, errors, and lapses for older driver sample. For younger drivers, aberrant driving behaviors were negatively predicted by tactical self-regulation while errors and lapses scores were positively predicted by strategical self-regulation. These results indicate that contrary to general belief, self-regulatory practices might not be always related to safer travel and the type of self-regulation plays an important role. Moreover, interestingly while selfregulatory practices mostly studied for older drivers, safety benefits of these practices (especially tactical level) might be higher for younger driver population. Thus, the role of different type of driving self-regulatory decisions and possible drawbacks should be taken into account before encouraging the drivers to adopt self-regulation strategies.

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 ...
Impulsivity and driver behaviors, offences and accident involvement: A systematic review
BIÇAKSIZ, Pinar; Özkan, Türker (2016-04-01)
The present literature review study investigated the relationship between impulsivity and driver behaviors, offences and road traffic accidents through the lenses of characterological perspective. The studies published from 1970 to 2014 that examined and reported a relationship between impulsivity and at least one driving related outcome (e.g., a self-report measure of driver behavior) were included. The relevant 38 out of 288 studies are presented in four sections based on the driving related outcomes as; ...
Traffic locus of control and driver coping styles: the moderating role of dispositional affect
Arslan, Burcu; Öz, Bahar; Department of Psychology (2018)
The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between traffic locus of control, driver coping styles and the moderating role of dispositional affect on this relationship. The results showed that drivers who are more enthusiastic, more active reported that they have more adopted confrontive coping style in a stressful situation. Negative affect was found to be the only moderator in two relationships; the relationship between self locus of control and task-focused coping and the relationship between fat...
Illusion of control, optimism bias and their relationship to risk-taking behaviors of Turkish drivers
Doğan, Ebru Burcu; Lajunen, Timo; Department of Psychology (2006)
The aim of the represent research was to investigate the relationship between illusion of control, optimism bias, locus of control, and drivers’ risk-taking behavior among Turkish drivers. A total of 307 drivers completed the Driver Behavior Questionnaire, the Driver Skills Inventory, the Optimism Bias Scale, the Multidimensional Traffic Locus of Control Scale, and Rotter’s Internality Externality Scale. In chapter one, comparison between perceived risk as driver and perceived risk as passenger demonstrated...
A new addition to DBQ: Positive Driver Behaviours Scale
Özkan, Türker (Elsevier BV, 2005-7)
The aims of the present study were to develop an instrument for measuring "positive" driver behaviours and to investigate the relationship between these behaviours, DBQ scales (violations and errors), aggression, traffic offences, and accidents. Participants were 306 Turkish drivers (194 male and 112 female) who completed a questionnaire including the newly developed Positive Driver Behaviour Scale, Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ), Driver Aggression Indicators Scale (DAIS), and items related to drivers...
