The present study empirically examined a novel dual process model of self-reported aberrant driving behavior in young and novice drivers that incorporates both impulsive and self-regulatory processes. Four hundred and nine participants aged 18-25 years ( age = 21.18 years, = 2.12; 65.5% females) completed online questionnaires on impulsivity, normlessness, sensation seeking, emotion and self-regulation, and attitudes toward driving safety. Path analysis showed that motor impulsivity was associated with self-reported driving violations, errors, and lapses, whereas sensation seeking was uniquely directly associated with self-reported errors. Non-planning impulsivity, normlessness and sensation seeking had significant indirect effects on self-reported errors, via self-regulation. Finally, motor impulsivity and normlessness had a significant indirect effect on self-reported violations, errors and lapses, via attitudes to driving safety. Based on our findings we suggest that a dual-process approach is relevant to the study of aberrant driving behavior in young and novice drivers, and the results of the present study have important implications for initiatives to promote driving safety in this population.
本研究通过实证检验了一个关于年轻和新手驾驶员自我报告的异常驾驶行为的新型双过程模型，该模型纳入了冲动和自我调节过程。409名年龄在18 - 25岁之间的参与者（年龄 = 21.18岁，标准差 = 2.12；65.5%为女性）完成了关于冲动性、无规范感、寻求刺激、情绪和自我调节以及对驾驶安全态度的在线问卷。路径分析表明，运动冲动性与自我报告的驾驶违规、失误和差错相关，而寻求刺激则独特地直接与自我报告的失误相关。非计划性冲动、无规范感和寻求刺激通过自我调节对自我报告的失误有显著的间接影响。最后，运动冲动性和无规范感通过对驾驶安全的态度对自我报告的违规、失误和差错有显著的间接影响。基于我们的研究结果，我们认为双过程方法与年轻和新手驾驶员异常驾驶行为的研究相关，并且本研究结果对促进该人群驾驶安全的举措具有重要意义。
