The aim of this article was to describe the driving behavior profile of drivers aged 18 to 25 years old. Four hundred young adults were interviewed, 320 (80%) of them male and 80 (20%) female. Cluster analysis identified a group characterized by sensation-seeking behavior (Cluster 1), a group that did not show any risky driving behavior (Cluster 2), and a group engaged in transgressive behavior and driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs (Cluster 3). Discriminant analysis classified successfully and correctly 81.3% of the young adults into their original profiles. Function 1 distinguished cluster 1 from clusters 2 and 3, on the basis of the following factors: higher frequency of alcohol consumption, intrusive behavior, and motorcycle riding, as well as younger age, more aggressive behavior, and lower education level. Function 2 distinguished cluster 3 from cluster 1 and 2, especially as to higher amounts of alcohol consumption, higher frequency of marijuana use and delinquent behavior, larger number of traffic tickets and motor vehicle accidents, higher paternal education level, which were the variables with discriminant values above .20. Characteristics of vulnerability were identified, especially those related to alcohol consumption, drug use, and externalizing issues.
本文旨在描述 18 至 25 岁驾驶员的驾驶行为特征。共对 400 名年轻人进行了访谈，其中 320 名男性（80%）和 80 名女性（20%）。聚类分析确定了一个具有寻求刺激行为特征的群体（聚类 1）、一个没有表现出任何危险驾驶行为的群体（聚类 2），以及一个从事越轨行为并在酒精和/或药物影响下驾驶的群体（聚类 3）。判别分析成功地将 81.3%的年轻人正确分类到其原始特征中。功能 1 根据以下因素将聚类 1 与聚类 2 和聚类 3 区分开来：饮酒频率更高、侵入性更强的行为以及骑摩托车，以及更年轻的年龄、更具攻击性的行为和更低的教育水平。功能 2 将聚类 3 与聚类 1 和聚类 2 区分开来，特别是与更高的饮酒量、更高的大麻使用频率和犯罪行为、更多的交通罚单和机动车事故、更高的父亲教育水平有关，这些变量的判别值高于.20。确定了易感性特征，特别是与酒精消费、药物使用和外化问题有关的特征。
