Title: | Investigating risky, distracting, and protective peer passenger effects in a dual process framework | Authors: | ROSS, Veerle JONGEN, Ellen BRIJS, Kris BRIJS, Tom WETS, Geert |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Source: | ACCIDENT ANALYSIS AND PREVENTION, 93, p. 217-225 | Abstract: | Prior studies indicated higher collision rates among young novice drivers with peer passengers. This driving simulator study provided a test for a dual process theory of risky driving by examining social rewards (peer passengers) and cognitive control (inhibitory control). The analyses included age (17–18 yrs, n = 30; 21–24 yrs, n = 20). Risky, distracting, and protective effects were classified by underlying driver error mechanisms. In the first drive, participants drove alone. In the second, participants drove with a peer passenger. Red-light running (violation) was more prevalent in the presence of peer passengers, which provided initial support for a dual process theory of risk driving. In a subgroup with low inhibitory control, speeding (violation) was more prevalent in the presence of peer passengers. Reduced lane-keeping variability reflected distracting effects. Nevertheless, possible protective effects for amber-light running and hazard handling (cognition and decision-making) were found in the drive with peer passengers. Avenues for further research and possible implications for targets of future driver training programs are discussed. | Notes: | Ross, V (reprint author), Hasselt Univ, Transportat Res Inst IMOB, Sci Pk Bldg 5,Bus 6, BE-3590 Hasselt, Belgium. veerle.ross@uhasselt.be; ellen.jongen@uhasselt.be; kris.brijs@uhasselt.be; tom.brijs@uhasselt.be; geert.wets@uhasselt.be | Keywords: | young novice drivers; driving simulation; peer passengers; dual processes | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/21504 | ISSN: | 0001-4575 | e-ISSN: | 1879-2057 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.aap.2016.05.007 | ISI #: | 000379558900022 | Rights: | © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
