Young riders involved in traffic accidents, who received verbal education from the traffic management department, and who did not purchase insurance showed a lower risk perception ability compared to other young cycling groups.

This study used ERP and eye-tracking measures to investigate attentional allocation in 44 pilots during 1v1 simulated aerial engagements. ERP data were analysed using spatiotemporal cluster-based permutation tests; eye-tracking measures were compared using one-way ANOVA. An event-wise significant winner-loser ERP difference was found following the Enemy Tracking event, characterised by a right frontal P3a in winners, with losers showing the opposite polarity (161-317 ms, <i>p</i> = 0.046). Winners also exhibited smaller pupil diameter, higher fixation proportion, and higher AOI hit rate. These findings suggest the Enemy Tracking event is a critical attentional window, where attentional allocation and behavioural responses - reflected in distinct right frontal processing modes - are closely associated with engagement outcomes.

The scale, along with the PADI, was administered to a sample of 1,538 Portuguese drivers (902 female), aged between 18 and 80 years; a subsample of 278 completed the DAS-Short Form and the BIS-11. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original two-factor structure, with acceptable model fit. The ADBS exhibited satisfactory internal consistency, whereas evidence for convergent and discriminant validity was mixed, partially supported by correlational analyses and the HTMT ratio.
