Since many studies in accident research derive criteria from official records, the existence of systematic biases in these files could have profound implications. This study demonstrates that accident and citation frequency are grossly underrecorded and that biases exist by sex, age, occupation, and race.

This article describes those personality factors associated with highway accidents. In general, the accident-haver is described as being emotionally less mature, less responsible, more asocial/anti-social, and not as well adjusted. He also tends to have a more disturbed history, such as an unhappy childhood, delinquency, family disruption, and uneven work record. A variety of specific behaviors is listed under these general terms. Many characteristics of the accident-haver are age related, and among “normal” people tend to be modified as one matures. The role of external stress and the concept of accident proneness are also discussed.
