Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.
Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.
Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...
Data Collection by Survey01:07

Data Collection by Survey

The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...
Strategies of Self-Presentation III: Self-Monitoring01:24

Strategies of Self-Presentation III: Self-Monitoring

Self-monitoring is a central construct in understanding individual differences in self-presentation strategies across social contexts. It refers to how individuals observe, regulate, and control their expressive behavior and self-presentation following situational cues. Self-monitoring reflects a person's sensitivity to social appropriateness and willingness to adapt behavior to fit varying interpersonal demands.High vs. Low Self-Monitoring IndividualsIndividuals high in self-monitoring are...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This study developed a new measure for anxious driving behaviors, identifying three key dimensions: performance deficits, excessive caution, and aggression. The findings offer a tool for understanding and addressing problematic driving linked to anxiety.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Transportation Safety
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Problematic behaviors in anxious drivers are clinically recognized but lack empirical investigation.
  • Existing research has not adequately addressed the specific behavioral manifestations of driving anxiety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a reliable measure for assessing anxious driving behaviors.
  • To identify distinct dimensions of maladaptive driving behaviors associated with anxiety.

Main Methods:

  • Three studies were conducted using college student samples.
  • Factor analytic techniques were employed to identify behavioral dimensions.
  • Convergent and discriminant validity were assessed using measures of driving fear, anger, and travel avoidance.

Main Results:

  • Three dimensions emerged: anxiety-based performance deficits, exaggerated safety/caution behavior, and anxiety-related hostile/aggressive behavior.
  • Performance deficits correlated with perceived driving skill and general driving fear.
  • Safety/caution behaviors linked to travel avoidance and specific driving fears (accident, social).
  • Hostile/aggressive behaviors correlated with driving anger and accident fears.

Conclusions:

  • The developed measure provides preliminary evidence of utility for research and clinical practice.
  • The findings delineate specific behavioral patterns associated with anxious driving.
  • Further validation in diverse populations is warranted.
