Abstract

Background: Despite the authorities' efforts to promote responsible driving, traffic accidents are a notable cause of death in many countries. Scientific research shows that variables such as alcohol abuse and personality dimensions can contribute to explaining this social phenomenon and the rising number of traffic offences. The present study aims to explore how alcohol abuse, personality disorders and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are associated with risky driving behaviour.

Method: The sample included 300 subjects: the study group (199 convicted of traffic offences) and the control group (101 subjects from the general driving population). The tools used were the International Personality Disorder Scale, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test and the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS).

Results: A higher incidence of signs of paranoid, antisocial, impulsive, borderline and anxious personality traits was detected for the study group, as well as a higher prevalence of alcohol abuse.

Conclusions: This research offers indications for the design of effective preventive and reinsertion interventions. It also highlights the importance of considering psychological dimensions to ensure road safety.

饮酒、人格和注意缺陷多动障碍对交通肇事者的影响。

背景:尽管当局努力促进负责任驾驶，但在许多国家，交通事故是一个显著的死亡原因。科学研究表明，酗酒和性格因素等变量可以解释这一社会现象和交通犯罪数量的上升。本研究旨在探索酒精滥用、人格障碍和注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)与危险驾驶行为之间的关系。方法:样本包括300名受试者:研究组(199名交通违章犯)和对照组(101名普通驾驶人群)。使用的工具是国际人格障碍量表、酒精使用障碍识别测试和成人多动症自我报告量表(ASRS)。结果:在研究组中检测到偏执、反社会、冲动、边缘和焦虑人格特征的发生率较高，以及酗酒的发生率较高。结论:本研究为设计有效的预防和再插入干预措施提供了指示。它还强调了考虑心理层面以确保道路安全的重要性。
