A GROUP OF 28 ACCIDENT AND 27 ACCIDENT-FREE DRIVERS WERE REQUESTED BY THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES TO PARTICIPATE IN A DRIVER RESEARCH SURVEY, THE PURPOSE BEING TO EVALUATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FIELD DEPENDENCE ANE MOTOR-VEHICLE-ACCIDENT INVOLVEMENT. THE MULTIPLE REGRESSION RESULTS INDICATED THAT FIELD DEPENDENCE WAS SIGNIFICANTLY RELATED TO ACCIDENT INVOLVEMENT. THE RESULTS SUGGEST THAT MEASURES OF PERCEPTUAL STYLE SUCH AS FIELD DEPENDENCE MAY HOLD PROMISE FOR FUTURE RESEARCH IN TRAFFIC SAFETY. /AUTHOR/
