A REVIEW OF INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN FIELD DEPENDENCE AS A FACTOR IN AUTO SAFETY
Several studies suggest that field-dependent drivers may have more accidents than field-independent drivers. However, much more research is needed to specify the nature of the driver behaviors involved. In this report, several hypotheses are considered concerning how field- dependent and field-independent drivers may differ in response to developing emergencies and with respect to defensive behaviors. Methodological problems involved in testing these hypotheses are also discussed. /Author/
