Impulsivity-like traits and risky driving behaviors among college students
Open accessAbstract
The present study examined the predictive effects of five impulsivity-like traits (Premeditation, Perseverance, Sensation Seeking, Negative Urgency, and Positive Urgency) on driving outcomes (driving errors, driving lapses, driving violations, cell phone driving, traffic citations, and traffic collisions). With a convenience sample of 266 college student drivers, we found that each of the impulsivity-like traits was related to multiple risky driving outcomes. Positive Urgency (tendency to act impulsively when experiencing negative affect) was the most robust predictor of risky driving outcomes. Positive Urgency is a relatively newly conceptualized impulsivity-like trait that was not examined in the driving literature previously, suggesting a strong need to further examine its role as a personality trait related to risky driving. These findings generally support the multidimensional assessment of impulsivity-like traits, and they specifically support the addition of Positive Urgency to a list of risk factors for risky driving behaviors.

Individuals highly sensitive to rewards or impulsive tend to engage in risky behaviors such as texting on cell phones while driving.
“Evidence indicates that individuals, who are highly sensitive to rewards or impulsive, have a tendency to engage in risky behaviors such as texting on their cell phones while driving (Hayashi et al., 2015; Pearson et al., 2013).”

The Results (section 3.2; page unavailable) report that several impulsivity-like traits were associated with cell-phone driving among college students. The Measures (section 2.2) include sending and reading texts in that outcome, but do not report texting separately. Sensation Seeking was associated with cell-phone driving only in bivariate analysis; the association was no longer significant after controlling for other impulsivity-like traits (section 4.2). The paper does not establish the broader claim about reward sensitivity or individuals generally. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
