Several studies have shown that risky driving is especially prevalent among young drivers and recent research has pointed out that driving in adolescence should be investigated in the more general context of adolescent development. The first aim of this contribution was to analyze involvement in risky driving in a normative sample of 645 Italian adolescents, boys and girls, aged 14-17, through a self-report questionnaire. A second aim was to evaluate the association between risky driving and lifestyle, defined as involvement in other health risk behaviors and leisure activities. The main results showed that many adolescents drove cars and motorcycles without the required driving license and the most frequent offences were speeding and failure to maintain a safe braking distance. Gender and age differences were also investigated. Results concerning the association between risky driving and lifestyle showed that risky driving was not an isolated behavior. Boys who displayed risky driving practices were more likely to adopt a lifestyle characterized by high involvement in antisocial behaviors, tobacco smoking, comfort eating and time spent in non-organized activities with friends. Girls involved in risky driving were more likely to be involved in other risk-taking behaviors, antisocial behaviors and drug use.
多项研究表明，危险驾驶在年轻驾驶员中尤为普遍，最近的研究指出，应在青少年发展的更广泛背景下对青少年驾驶行为进行调查。本研究的首要目的是通过一份自我报告问卷，分析645名年龄在14至17岁之间的意大利青少年（包括男孩和女孩）的规范样本中危险驾驶行为的参与情况。第二个目的是评估危险驾驶与生活方式之间的关联，生活方式被定义为参与其他健康风险行为和休闲活动。主要结果显示，许多青少年在没有所需驾驶执照的情况下驾驶汽车和摩托车，最常见的违规行为是超速和未能保持安全制动距离。同时还调查了性别和年龄差异。关于危险驾驶与生活方式之间关联的结果表明，危险驾驶并非孤立行为。表现出危险驾驶行为的男孩更有可能采取一种以高度参与反社会行为、吸烟、情绪化进食以及与朋友进行无组织活动的时间为特征的生活方式。参与危险驾驶的女孩更有可能参与其他冒险行为、反社会行为和吸毒。
