“…For example, to inhibit the behavior of replying to a text message received, drivers need to cope with negative emotion caused by not replying to the message immediately. Previous research has shown that a cognitive process of regulating affect and arousal is theoretically linked to executive function (Reid et al, 2012) and that individual differences in executive function predicts successful emotion regulation (Schmeichel and Tang, 2015). …”

“…In contrast, self-report measures can provide unique information about an individual’s levels of executive function that are more typical in their everyday situations. In some clinical cases, self-reported measures of executive function have revealed deficits that performance-based measures failed to identify (Reid et al, 2012). Therefore, obtaining self-reported and performance-based measures of executive function are likely to reveal different aspects of an individual’s levels of functioning (Toplak et al, 2013) and thus these measures should be considered mutually supportive.…”

“…Previous research has shown that executive function is inversely associated with addictive disorders, such as substance abuse (Goldstein and Volkow, 2011) and pathological gambling (e.g., Reid et al, 2012) as well as various impulsivity-related problems, such as obesity (e.g., Smith et al, 2011), internet addiction (e.g., Zhou et al, 2014), texting dependency (Ferraro et al, 2012), and hyper-sexual behavior (e.g., Reid et al, 2010). If texting while driving shares some key features with these addictive, risky, and impulsive behaviors, executive function should also be an important factor in understanding the cognitive mechanism that underlies texting while driving.…”

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the cognitive processes underlying texting while driving. A sample of 120 college students completed a survey to assess how frequently they send and read a text message while driving. Based on this information, students were assigned to one of two groups: 20 students who frequently text while driving and 20 matched-control students who infrequently text while driving but were similar in gender, age, years of education, and years driving. The groups were compared on the extent to which they differed in self-reported measures of executive function and impulsivity. The groups were also compared on a behavioral measure of impulsivity: the extent to which they discounted hypothetical monetary rewards as a function of the delay. For this measure, the students made repeated choices between smaller monetary rewards available immediately and larger rewards available after delays ranging from 1 week to 6 months. The results show that the group of students who frequently text while driving showed (a) significantly lower levels of executive function and (b) higher levels of self-reported impulsivity, although the groups did not differ significantly on the behavioral measure of impulsivity. These results support a general conclusion that drivers with lower levels of executive function and higher levels of impulsivity are more likely to text while driving.

“…psychometric properties. Studies using this scale have shown that it offers a useful way to assess and detect executive dysfunction in patients with ADHD, schizophrenia, mild cognitive impairment, traumatic brain injury, hypersexuality and eating disorders, and in those who are pathological gamblers and ecstasy consumers, among others [14,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33].…”

Executive function in fibromyalgia: Comparing subjective and objective measures

Patients with fibromyalgia showed executive dysfunction in subjective and objective measures, although most of this impairment was associated with mood disturbances. Exceptions to this general rule were observed in the impairment of working memory evidenced on the BRIEF-A scale and the inhibition impairment exhibited by the interference effect from the Stroop Test. The two types of measurement provide different yet complementary information.

“…A similar argument was made regarding executive function—cognitive abilities for adaptive functioning that allow for goal‐oriented, flexible, and autonomous behavior (Spinella, ). As with excessive discounting, impaired executive function has been shown to be associated with addictive disorders, such as substance abuse (Goldstein & Volkow, ), pathological gambling (Reid, McKittrick, Davtian, & Fong, ), and most notably, texting while driving (Hayashi, Foreman, Friedel, & Wirth, ; Hayashi, Rivera, Modico, Foreman, & Wirth, ). In this manner, both excessive discounting and impaired executive function occur across various impulsivity‐related problems, suggesting that they may be transdisease processes.…”

The roles of delay and probability discounting in texting while driving: Toward the development of a translational scientific program

A sample of 109 college students completed a survey to assess how frequently they send or read text messages while driving. In a novel discounting task with a hypothetical scenario in which participants receive a text message while driving, they rated the likelihood of replying to a text message immediately versus waiting to reply until arriving at a destination. The scenario presented several delays to a destination and probabilities of a motor vehicle crash. The likelihood of waiting to reply decreased as a function of both the delay until the destination and the probability of a motor vehicle crash. Self-reported higher frequencies of texting while driving were associated with greater rates of both delay and probability discounting. The degree of delay discounting was altered as a function of the probability of a motor vehicle crash and vice versa. These results suggest that both delay and probability discounting are important underlying mechanisms of drivers' decision to text while driving.
