Effects of safe driving climate among peers on the reckless driving behaviours of young drivers: The moderating effects of family climate and safety attitudes
Purpose
Reckless driving is one of the main causes of road fatalities among young drivers. However, different facets of reckless driving behaviours (i.e., distraction, extreme behaviours, positioning behaviours, and substance use) have not been explored in depth. This study aims to investigate the effects of safe driving climate among peers on the different facets of the reckless driving behaviours of young drivers and to examine the moderating effects of family climate and safety attitudes.
Methods
The Reckless Driving Behaviours Scale (RDBS), the Safe Driving Climate among Friends Scale (SDCaF), the noncommitment factor (i.e., family’s tendency not to invest time in safety education and to ignore young drivers’ risky driving) from the Family Climate for Road Safety Scale, and the Safety Attitude Scale were administered to 249 young drivers.
Results
Significant associations were found between the RDBS factors, the SDCaF factors, safety attitudes, and noncommitment. The SDCaF factors, safety attitudes and noncommitment explained 34.7 % of the variance in extreme behaviour and 23.9 % of the variance in positioning behaviour. Noncommitment moderated the relationship between shared commitment (collective responsibility for safe driving among peers) and extreme behaviours, with a high level of shared commitment significantly counteracting the effect of a high level of parental noncommitment on extreme behaviour. Finally, there was a three-way interaction in which safety attitudes moderated the relationship between friend pressure and positioning behaviours only when young drivers scored higher on noncommitment.
Conclusion
This study provides a multi-factorial framework for understanding the reckless driving behaviours of young drivers, highlighting the interplay between influencing factors. The findings provide new insights for the formulation and training of intervention measures for reckless driving behaviour from a more comprehensive perspective of individuals (safety attitudes), parents (noncommitment), and peers (friend pressure and shared commitment).
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour focuses on the behavioural and psychological aspects of traffic and transport. The aim of the journal is to enhance theory development, improve the quality of empirical studies and to stimulate the application of research findings in practice. TRF provides a focus and a means of communication for the considerable amount of research activities that are now being carried out in this field. The journal provides a forum for transportation researchers, psychologists, ergonomists, engineers and policy-makers with an interest in traffic and transport psychology.
