To provide helpful suggestions to bus companies regarding reducing the number of bus accidents and improving public transportation safety, we further researched the relationship between driving skills and driving behaviors; bus drivers from six bus companies of the Hefei Bus Group were investigated. The reliability and validity of the Driver Behaviour Questionnaire, the Driver Skill Inventory, and 287 valid questionnaires were tested; the relationships between the Driver Behaviour Questionnaire and Driver Skill Inventory factors were explored; and their influence on traffic accidents was analyzed by structural equation modeling. Significant positive associations were found between driving experience and safety motive, whereas negative relationships were found between errors and safety motive. Safety motive has a negative effect on violations, and violations are the most important factor leading to traffic accidents. Therefore, bus companies should enhance safety education, and interventions should not only directly relate to the involvement of bus drivers in traffic accidents but also consider the role played by violations.

“…These coping styles include the problem-oriented people, who attempt to solve a problem purposefully and logically; the emotion-oriented individuals, who rely on emotional reactions instead of its logical solution and the data processing; and the avoidance individuals, who try to reduce the psychological pressure by avoiding problem [19]. Verma et al (2017), concluded that emotion-oriented people had higher chances of being involved in accidents [20]. As well as, Lotfi et al (2017) showed that the individuals having emotionoriented coping style demonstrated a more dangerous driving behavior, and thus are involved in more car crashes [21].…”

Background: Fatigue can affect the behavior of drivers. While the driver must be able to respond and cope appropriately to the critical situations, which is known as the ability to cope with a crisis. It is likely that the fatigue can change the people's coping style and thereby increase the chance of the crashes. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of fatigue on the coping behavior of international truck drivers. Methods: This study was conducted on 239 of international truck drivers employed in Iran. The Endler and Parker coping strategies questionnaire (CISS) and Persian version of the Fatigue Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) were used to evaluate the coping styles of the drivers and the drivers' fatigue, respectively. Results: The mean values of the total fatigue before and after traveling were 36.77 and 76.13, respectively. The mean values of coping styles of the problem-oriented, emotion-oriented, and avoidance before traveling were 53.66, 40.91, and 38.17, respectively, and those after traveling were 45.59, 51.18, and 36.45, respectively. The chisquare test demonstrated that there was a significant difference in the coping style of drivers before and after the trip (P < 0.001), and the percent of individuals with emotion-oriented increased. Conclusions: In general, the results showed that fatigue due to traveling could change the coping styles of subjects from problem-oriented to emotion-oriented and avoidance. This can increase the statistics of driving accidents.

“…A desinibição (Dis) é descrita como uma forma extrema de procura de sensações, que é comum entre criminosos e delinquentes (Dmitrieva et al, 2010;Mann, 2017;Mann et al, 2017;Simons et al, 2012;Verma et al, 2017). Em geral, esse fator envolve comportamentos de procura de sensação, como consumo de álcool ou outras drogas e participação em ações ilegais.…”

“…Sugere-se que as pessoas com altas pontuações na suscetibilidade ao tédio possam sofrer agitação quando expostas a situações monótonas. No total, essas quatro subescalas representam diferentes modos de procura de sensações, que contribuem para a composição da estrutura de personalidade de um indivíduo (Crysel, Crosier, & Webster, 2013;Mann, 2017;Mann et al, 2017;Sousa, 2012;Verma et al, 2017).…”
