“…Understandably, a significant area of focus in recent research is the safety implications of using a cellphone while driving (e.g. Atchley, Atwood, & Boulton, 2011;Strayer & Drews, 2007). For example, work in this field has demonstrated that individuals who have a tendency to text on their cellphones while driving show a steeper discounting function compared to those who do not (Hayashi, Russo, & Wirth, 2015).…”

Mobile technology habits: patterns of association among device usage, intertemporal preference, impulse control, and reward sensitivity

Mobile electronic devices are playing an increasingly pervasive role in our daily activities. Yet, there has been very little empirical research investigating how mobile technology habits might relate to individual differences in cognition and affect. The research presented in this paper provides evidence that heavier investment in mobile devices is correlated with a relatively weaker tendency to delay gratification (as measured by a delay discounting task) and a greater inclination toward impulsive behavior (i.e., weaker impulse control, assessed behaviorally and through self-report) but is not related to individual differences in sensitivity to reward. Analyses further demonstrated that individual variation in impulse control mediates the relationship between mobile technology usage and delay of gratification. Although based on correlational results, these findings lend some backing to concerns that increased use of portable electronic devices could have negative impacts on impulse control and the ability to appropriately valuate delayed rewards.

“…Unfortunately, almost all young drivers admit that they use mobile phones while driving (Nelson et al, 2009) and approximately 95% of them admit that they write text messages while driving (Atchley et al, 2011), but at the same time they are aware it is not a safe way of driving.…”

Proceedings of the Iii International Scientific and Practical Conference “Psychological Health of the Person: Life Resource and Life Potential”

2017

The Proceedings cover different aspects of mental health research concerned with human life resource and life potential, as well as applied aspects of health psychology.The editorial policy was based on the principles of selection and reviewing of all submitted manuscripts. At the first stage all the manuscripts underwent an initial review by the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board before peer-review in order to assess whether their content complied with the Conference theme. The manuscripts which did not comply with the subject matter of the Conference have been rejected. At the second stage all the manuscripts underwent a double blind review process: each work was reviewed by two experts from the Board of Reviewers; reviewing procedure was anonymous both for the experts and authors.In case of positive review results provided by both experts the contributions were included in the Editor-in-Chief Portfolio. At the third stage manuscripts underwent scientific style as well as language literacy assessment and language editing. This work was carried out by the team of Language Editors. Based on the results of the three stages of reviewing the list of the manuscripts recommended for the publication in the Conference Proceedings has been defined.The problem of assessment, prophylaxis and preserving human psychological health is of utmost importance today. Its relevance is determined, first, by the fact that both a person and his / her development as a healthy and autonomous personality represent a subject of a psychological research. Second, recent global transformations impose special requirements to the person seeking for health preservation, self-development, and self-actualisation. Among these requirements there is readiness to act in new, unpredictable conditions, to make decisions in unstable situations and to bear responsibility for one's decisions. To meet these requirements, a person should be able to see opportunities for self-development and self-fulfillment in the surrounding world, finding new meanings of his / her life activity.Existence of life resource and life potential expands the scope of any person's activities, turning the person's significant life purposes into more achievable ones. Resources are known to subjectively increase the value of a person both in his / her self-perception and in the eyes of others, making the person stronger, more prominent and proactive.Among various human resources health is a fundamental one. At the same time, life potential is not a less important characteristic, since it ensures human capacity to create, develop and use life conditions, factors and circumstances which are beneficial for an organism.Considering human health through the prism of life potential, it is necessary that the value of health within culture of its formation should be the highest, being defined not so much by the need for self-preservation but for self-improvement.The presented Proceedings are the result of both scientific studies in Psychology and fruitful and prospective long-term inte...

An attempt is made to implement the soft computing techniques in the prediction of the mishaps behaviors. The main objective of this paper is to implement the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network topology in mishap analysis and prediction. Efforts are made to summarize past research on the road mishaps causes and their analysis techniques and point out their weaknesses. Indicate new ideas in this area and Identify research directions leading to successful development and use of analytical techniques in the area of mishap analysis leading to Road safety
