“…Extraversion has been related to traffic accidents, traffic offending and DUI (Lajunen, 2001;Renner and Anderle, 2000).The relation between openness to experience and risky driving and DUI is unclear (Hubicka et al, 2010;Miles and Johnson, 2003). Agreeableness has also shown an inverse correlation to traffic citations (Cellar et al, 2000) and aggressive driving (Benfield et al, 2007), although other studies have not confirmed this association (Miles and Johnson, 2003). Finally, conscientiousness is negatively correlated with risky driving, accident involvement and DUI (Arthur and Doverspike, 2001;Arthur and Graziano, 1996;Hagger-Johnson and Whiteman, 2007;Hubicka et al, 2010).…”

a b s t r a c tSeveral studies have related personality variables with antisocial behavior. Among antisocial behaviors, driving under the influence (DUI) has received growing attention in recent years, particularly in relation to the role of personality. However, it has been shown that personality alone is not sufficient to accurately predict DUI. As a result, there is growing interest in identifying other types of individual differences that might predict this behavior better, such as attitudinal variables. The aim of this study was to examine differences in personality dimensions and attitudes between a group of DUI offenders and a comparison group. Ninety-eight subjects were assessed: 51 subjects who had been convicted of a DUI offense following a diversion program, and 47 drivers without criminal records. Personality was measured with the NEO-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) and antisocial attitudes were assessed with the Jesness InventoryRevised. Results indicated that offenders were more prone to show antisocial attitudes (p < .001) than comparisons. In terms of personality, there were no significant differences between the two groups. These findings suggest that attitudes may be useful predictors of DUI and should be taken into account in interventions designed to avoid recidivism.

“…or "bumping the other person's car") when in hypothetical situations that may trigger aggressive driving behavior (see Agerwala et al, 2008), (c) personality inventories such as the Driver Anger Expression Inventory and the Driver Angry Thoughts Questionnaire (see Benfield et al, 2007), and (d) self-reported frequency of being in crash-related conditions (such as loss of concentration and loss in vehicle control) over a specified time interval and number of lifetime traffic citations and major/minor accidents (see Dahlen and White, 2006). These indicators are then combined and converted (typically) into a single binary indicator of aggressiveness, and correlated with various personality traits and some demographic/situational attributes.…”

“…In healthy younger drivers without personality disorder, the personality traits of extraversion, conscientiousness, and risk propensity are predictors for increased crash risk (Benfield, Szlemko, & Bell, 2007;Cellar, Nelson, & Yorke, 2000). Only few studies (Table 3) have investigated the relationship between personality traits and driving behavior in healthy older adults (Adrian, Postal, Moessinger, Rascle, & Charles, 2011).…”
