Abstract:

Internationally, young novice drivers (aged 17-25 years) are often overrepresented in road-related crash injury and fatality statistics. Compared with older, more experienced drivers, prominent contributors to young driver crash-risk is their lower perceived risk, higher engagement in risky driving behaviours (e.g., speeding), and poorer hazard perception skills. This thesis describes seven studies conducted to address three research aims. The first aim was to model and examine three psychological theories of personality, social–cognitive, and social-learning, to propose a new conceptual frame

Abstract:

The overall aim was to elucidate the effects of vehicle passengers on young drivers. This generated two specific aims and four papers. The first aim was to investigate the crash risk for young drivers with passengers and to establish whether such accidents involve any special circumstances compared to those that occur without passengers. This goal was achieved by analysing accident and exposure data from two registers. The second objective was to analyse the group processes that develop between four young men in a vehicle and to ascertain how those interactions affect driving behaviour. Those

Abstract:

Road trauma is recognized as a major public health problem worldwide (particularly for younger drivers), and risky driving has been identified as an important contributor to road crashes. It is often assumed that similar factors influence all risky driving behaviours, although direct and systematic examination of the differences between risky driving behaviours in terms of precipitating factors is lacking. The present thesis sought to undertake a systematic investigation of relevant factors in the prediction of four key risky driving behaviours (speeding, drink-driving, driving while fatigued,

Abstract:

This program of research aimed to contribute to reducing the high road trauma rate among young drivers by identifying ways to enhance their compliance with the existing road rules. Specifically, this research refined the application of deterrence theory to road safety and investigated both legal and non-legal factors that influence young driver's road rule compliance, with a focus on speeding, mobile phone use while driving and graduated driver licensing restrictions. The results present a number of theoretical implications for deterrence theory and practical implications for road safety.

Worldwide, young drivers are involved in more road traffic collisions than any other age group (Taubman & Katz, 2012). Comprehensive driver training and various forms of pre- and- post-test road safety interventions (RSIs) are in place, but young drivers continue to be involved in more at-fault, fatal collisions than older, newly qualified drivers (e.g. Emmerson, 2008; Braitman et al, 2008; Clarke et al, 2010).

Abstract:

Young drivers have markedly higher motor vehicle crash-risk and crash involvement rates than do older drivers, and are severely over-represented in both morbidity and mortality rates related to vehicle crashes. Underpinning these findings is the tendency for young drivers to engage in more risk-taking whilst driving than older drivers. The current research focuses on unsafe driving behaviours. Unsafe driving behaviours satisfy Arnett’s (1992) three criteria of recklessness: they lack mainstream social approval and may even involve violations of the law; they carry strong connotations of negati

Research suggests that MCD use plays a role in almost 400,000 traffic crashes each year, resulting in over 3,000 deaths (NHTSA, 2013). Drivers using an MCD are as much as four times more likely to crash as other motorists (Redelmeier & Tibshirani, 1997). Since 2001 forty-eight states have adopted one or more laws aimed at reducing the use of MCDs by drivers, many of which have been strengthened through subsequent amendments.

Abstract:

The introduction of advanced technologies into novice driver education may improve its efficacy as a young driver crash countermeasure. Underpinned by the Goals for Driver Education and the Technology Acceptance Model, and using a mixed-methods approach, this thesis examined how young drivers, professional driver educators, and parents perceive five advanced technologies used for professional driver education, with a particular focus on driving simulators. Findings suggest that the perceptions of these groups are largely aligned. However, there is complexity in the way they view some technolog

INTRODUCTION : Les jeunes de moins de 25 ans constituent le groupe de conducteurs le plus impliqué dans les collisions routières (CR). L’objectif de cette étude est de déterminer l’importance de certains facteurs humains et de l’environnement routier dans les collisions les nuits de la fin de semaine chez les jeunes conducteurs. Les hypothèses postulent des chances plus élevées de CR les nuits de la fin de semaine, comparativement aux CR survenant à d’autres moments de la semaine, en présence d’un seul facteur de risque et de deux facteurs de risque.

A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Management from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics<br>When I first took up this project the goal was to conceive a communication strategy for Continente. My first impression was that the biggest drawback of Continente was their localization and lack of convenience. After carrying out a market research I confirmed this theory and began strategizing against it. Although my initial brainstorm varies in target and objective, I’ve realized that all the solutions focused at some point, on the Continen

Abstract:

A slight majority of American households headed by 55–64-year-olds do not have any savings for retirement, and those who have retirement savings have a median of around $109,000 saved, which is equivalent to an inflation-protected annuity of $405 per month (i.e., well below the official poverty level). Among the main reasons cited for the lack of retirement savings among parents is a desire to provide financial support to their young adult children. Indeed, on the whole, parents spend twice as much on financial support of their adult children as they save for retirement (Merryl Lynch, 2018). U

Abstract:

Background: While the overall proportion of young people who report drinking alcohol in the UK appears to have decreased over the past fifteen years, those who do drink are consuming in larger quantities, and drinking more frequently. An association between industry-driven alcohol marketing and young people’s drinking behaviour has been demonstrated in a number of cross-sectional, longitudinal and qualitative studies, but less is known about how young people are affected by alcohol marketing and how marketing processes knit with other widely studied influences on young people’s drinking behavi

Abstract:

The project investigated road crashes and traffic offences committed by novice drivers, using licensing and crash data from learner and provisionally-licensed drivers in New South Wales. The nature and extent of illegal driving behaviours was established. To address illegal driving behaviours, a novel online novice driver offender intervention was developed and implemented as part of a statutory driver education course. A framework to assess recidivism by novice drivers was developed, focusing on 2-year and 5-year follow-up of repeat offending for novice drivers who had received the interventi

Abstract:

This thesis examined the effects of a novel blue-green light intervention, together with caffeine, on sleepiness and driving performance in young adults, a population that is overrepresented in sleepiness-related road crashes. Light, caffeine, and the combination of light and caffeine each improved alertness after chronic-partial sleep deprivation to a greater extent than did a placebo. Each condition improved subjective sleepiness, objective psychomotor performance, and objective driving performance, with the greatest effect found for light and caffeine in combination. These findings have imp

Abstract:

This research explores the complexities of young peoples’ personal understanding and experiences of violence and safety in public spaces. The research itself is constructed through establishing the interrelationships between the theories, practices and policies of safety and young people. Working through these links has facilitated an original framework for understanding by accessing data using young people’s own experiences and views. There is a significant body of published research exploring young people as offenders but a real absence, especially in the UK literature, of young people as po

Abstract:

This PhD thesis contributes to social marketing research and practice in five main ways. First, this thesis provides a state-of-the-art review on eHealth weight management interventions targeting young adults identifying limitations of the current evidence base, namely a lack of optimal theory application. Second, this thesis illuminates a lack of and/or underreporting of theory in social marketing more broadly, and reveals a fundamental flaw in the discipline's assessment of theory use when reviewing the evidence base. Third, the TITE theory application process developed offers a procedural c
