There appears to be a lack of new ideas in driver behavior modeling. Although behavioral research is under some pressure, it seems too facile to attribute this deplorable state of affairs only to a lack of research funds. In my opinion the causal chain may well run in the opposite direction. An analysis of what is wrong has led me to the conclusion that human factors research in the area of driver behavior has hardly been touched by the "cognitive revolution" that 'swept psychology in the past fifteen years. A more cognitive approach might seem advisable and the "promise of progress" of such an approach should be assessed.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. This research has been conducted in compliance with all applicable federal regulations governing the protection of human subjects in research. Summary BackgroundAccidental injury is a significant concern for the U.S. Navy. The recent magnitude of the problem in the Department of Defense has been sufficient for the Secretary of Defense to set a goal of reducing the injury rate by 50%. The underlying causes of accidents must be fully understood to pursue this goal efficiently. Previous research suggests that risk takers seek out hazardous occupations. If so, the preferred behavior patterns of those individuals could be a barrier to effective safety programs in occupations where effective programs are needed most.

“…Other personality traits that have been found to be negatively correlated with safe driving include impulsiveness and immature habits, irresponsibility, rebelliousness, selfishness or excessive concern for others, lack of self-confidence, anxiety and tenseness, and a fatalistic outlook.
