      <title>Risk-perception and dangerous driving among adolescents: Outcome- and behavior-focused questions yield opposite results</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1439880</link>
      <description><![CDATA[While some studies have found that those who perceive a behavior to be more risky are less likely to engage in it, others have found that those who engage in more risky behaviors see themselves as being more at-risk. Using an online questionnaire the authors investigated whether such conflicting findings may be due to the types of risk-questions employed in past studies. They assessed risk-perception using outcome-focused questions (e.g. the likelihood of being in an accident) and a behavior-focused question (the riskiness of speeding). Participants who reported engaging in more risky driving gave higher estimates of their chances of experiencing a negative outcome. However, those same participants gave lower estimates of the general riskiness of risky driving. Drivers may think about the risks of risky driving in different ways depending on the focus of the questions.]]></description>

      <title>The Pedestrian Behaviour of Spanish Adolescents</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1106665</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Adolescent pedestrians are a particularly vulnerable group pf road users. This research tested the applicability of the recently developed Adolescent Road User Behavior Questionnaire (ARBQ) amongst a sample of 2006 Spanish adolescents. Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the full scale found that the original three factors did not adequately fit the data, but an acceptable hit was obtained for the shortened 21-item version of the scale. In line with research from the United Kingdom (UK), the present study found that males reported more unsafe road crossing behavior and playing on the roads, but there was no gender difference for engaging in planned protective behavior. The research also confirmed that unsafe road crossing behavior increased with age, while dangerous playing in the road and planned protective behaviors both decreased with age. The present study also confirmed that the ARBQ  is a useful tool for investigating the safety-related behavior of adolescences on the road.]]></description>

      <title>Acceptance of and Engagement in Risky Driving Behaviors by Teenagers</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/756467</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Data gathered from 1430 teenager student drivers and 880 teenage traffic violators were used to examine the levels of exposure to risky driving behaviors and perceptions concerning the level of danger of such behaviors.  For student drivers, 55% reported exposure to risky driving by being is a car with a driver engaging in such activities as drunk driving, drag racing, and reckless driving.  For the traffic violators, 43% had been engaged in one or more the risky driving behaviors.  Teenagers who had been exposed to risky driving practices were more accepting of risky driving behaviors.]]></description>

      <title>THE EFFECTS OF SLEEP DEBT ON VIGILANCE IN YOUNG DRIVERS: AN EDUCATION/RESEARCH PROJECT IN HIGH SCHOOLS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/701513</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This study assesses and compares the vigilance levels of 59 high school students in two time periods: the daytime (9:00-11:00 a.m.) and early Sunday morning (2:30-5:00 a.m.).  The differences in performance impairment associated with different Saturday night social activities and the effect of alcohol consumption were evaluated.  Results indicate a vigilance decrease during the night, and this was greater in subjects who consumed more alcohol.  Students who spent their Saturday night in a discotheque showed the most prominent nocturnal vigilance decrease, even when the effect of alcohol consumption was covaried.  The effect of social activities on vigilance levels was also associated with the different time in which subjects performed the vigilance task and different lengths of time spent awake.]]></description>

      <title>RISKY ROAD BEHAVIOR OF ADOLESCENT MOTORCYCLISTS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/711435</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Adolescent motorcyclists are involved over-proportionately in road accidents, due mainly to youth-specific risk-taking behavior.  This risk-taking behavior is the possible result of an unproductive strain-coping-process that can be based on a gender-specific stress-theoretical socialization model.  This paper reports on a study of 137 male adolescent (16-18 years old) motorcyclists.  Risky road behavior was examined within the frame of other risky behavior and discussed as a stress compensating and gender identity reproducing function in the development of adolescents.  Findings confirmed psychosocial stress potentials next to general risk seeking as factors influencing risk road behavior.]]></description>

      <title>RISKY DRINKING AND DRIVING/RIDING DECISIONS: THE ROLE OF PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/507672</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Factors related to risky drinking and driving/riding decisions were explored presenting vignettes to 135 older adolescents, 17-24 years of age, with vignettes related to drinking and other social behaviors engaged in at a party. Analyses revealed that alcohol-related behaviors, attitudes toward the acceptability of drinking and driving and previous drinking and driving/riding experiences were all significant predictors of decisions about driving or riding while intoxicated. Indeed, the model accounted for 46 percent of risky drinking and driving/riding decisions. As predicted, older respondents had more previous experiences with driving while intoxicated and riding with intoxicated drivers than did younger respondents and they reported that drinking and driving was more acceptable among their peers. However, contrary to expectations, there were not differences in the number of decisions made by the two age groups or between males and females. The importance of previous experiences is discussed.]]></description>

      <title>CAR AVAILABILITY AND THE DAILY LIFE OF THE TEENAGE MALE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/216719</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The relationship between driving a car and the adolescent male's daily life was examined.  Drivers with unrestricted access to a car (N=11), drivers with limited car access (N=10), and non-drivers (N=7) completed behavioral diaries and were then interviewed regarding changes in their life associated with driving.  Drivers (compared to non-drivers) manifested more discrete and varied environmental visits, more time with friends and in teenage settings, more freedom from parental control, and more socially responsible behaviors.  Driving appeared to have a positive impact upon teenagers' behavior and experience. The relationship between driving (including its concomitants) and themes of adolescent development is discussed.]]></description>
