Abstract

This study tested a set of adolescent attributes, social experiences, and beliefs as predictors of risky driving maneuvers and driving in risky conditions. Newly licensed adolescents (n = 138, M_age = 17.07 years, 55 % female) reported on driving risk factors, driving exposure, parents' restrictions, risky driving maneuvers, and driving in risky conditions. Controlling for age, driving exposure and parents' restrictions, more risky driving maneuvers, both within the first six months of driving and after one year of driving experience, were linked with higher levels of sensation seeking, lower levels of self-control, and especially with stronger peer models of risky driving. The risk factors did not collectively predict driving in risky conditions. The risk factors are associated with more risky driving maneuvers and driving violations during the earliest stages of driving, when the behaviors are likely to be most risky because drivers are also inexperienced and more likely to make errors.

青少年危险驾驶动作及危险驾驶预测

这项研究测试了青少年的一系列属性、社会经验和信仰作为危险驾驶操作和危险条件下驾驶的预测因素。新获得驾照的青少年（n = 138，年龄17.07岁，55%为女性）报告了驾驶危险因素、驾驶暴露、父母限制、危险驾驶操作和危险条件下驾驶。在控制年龄、驾驶经历和父母限制的情况下，更危险的驾驶行为，无论是在驾驶的前六个月还是一年后，都与更高水平的感觉寻求、更低水平的自我控制，尤其是与更强的同伴风险驾驶模式有关。这些风险因素并不能共同预测在危险条件下的驾驶。这些风险因素与早期驾驶阶段更危险的驾驶动作和驾驶违规行为有关，因为驾驶员也缺乏经验，更容易犯错，因此这些行为可能是最危险的。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
