THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A UNIFORM TRAFFIC SCHOOL CURRICULUM FOR NEGLIGENT DRIVERS

THE REPORT COVERS AN EVALUATION OF THE UNIFORM DRIVER IMPROVEMENT SCHOOL (UDIS) CURRICULUM. OVERALL, THE RESULTS DIRECTIONALLY FAVORED THE UDIS OVER THE CONTROL ON BOTH POST ACCIDENTS AND CONVICTIONS, ALTHOUGH NOT CONCLUSIVE DUE TO SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT TREATMENT INTERACTIONS. FURTHER, RESULTS DIFFERED BETWEEN UDIS AND THE REGULAR SCHOOL. ANALYSIS OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE ITEM DEALING WITH TRAFFIC SCHOOL EVALUATION GAVE INDICATION THAT UDIS SUBJECTS WERE MORE POSITIVELY ORIENTED TOWARD TRAFFIC SCHOOL THAN WERE CONTROL SUBJECTS. /AUTHOR/
