What causes the differences in driving between young men and women? The effects of gender roles and sex on young drivers’ driving behaviour and self-assessment of skills

Burden of Road Traffic Injuries in Turkey

“…Secondary data analysis Akgungor (2007) Secondary data analysis Secondary data analysis Aegean region N/A Motor vehicle crashes constituted 10.8% or n = 183 of the accidents in the Aegean region Of all fatal accidents, 26.3% were due to motor vehicle crashes Tansel (1989) Secondary data analysis Turkey N/A The relationships between vehicle kilometers as well as young drivers on traffic crash rate were positive Tansel (1988) Secondary data analysis Ankara, Istanbul, and Izmir N/A Road traffic crashes were found to be more prevalent in built-up areas (90%) Istanbul had the highest number of road traffic crashes and deaths but Ankara had the most severe crashes 80% of the crashes were due to driver error such as speeding Tansel (1988) Secondary data analysis Turkey N/A Most of the road traffic crashes involving pedestrians were found to be in built-up areas Pedestrians under the age of 18 and 65 years and above were at the highest risk Social behavioral studies Oksuz and Malhan (2005) Cross-sectional Ankara 650 Students More men than women drove under the influence of alcohol Parental education and living away from family were associated with not wearing seat belts Ozkan et al (2006) Cross-sectional Ankara 217 Students High perceptual-motor skills were associated with being male and having high masculinity scores, whereas high safety skills were associated with having high femininity scores Ozkan et al (2005) Cross-sectional Ankara 306 Turkish drivers Positive drivers committed fewer errors and violations. Moreover, they tended to be older in age and had more driving experience Ozkan et al (2005) Cross-sectional Ankara 354 Students The relationship between high masculinity scores and risky driving (i.e., aggression, violations, and offenses) was positively associated (Continued on the next page) 72 PUVANACHANDRA ET AL.…”

Predicting Future Traffic Offenders By Pre-Drivers’ Attitudes Towards Risky Driving

“…In line with the previous research (Iversen, Rundmo, 2012;Glendon et al, 2014;Lucidi et al, http://dx.doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2017.09. (Cerniglia et al, 2015;Cestac, Paran, Delhomme, 2011;Feldman, Greeson, Renna, Robbins-Monteith, 2011). In most countries including Lithuania male role is related to risk taking, showing off and disobeying the rules (Motiejūnaitė-Timinskienė, Bulotaitė, 2012;Gulliver, Begg, 2007;Özkan, Lajunen, 2006;Akaateba, Amoh-Gyimah, 2013;Yilmaz, Çelik, 2004). Similarly, disregard of the rules, importance of peer pressure and limitations in emotion regulation which are related to the young age (Brown et al, 2016;Cerniglia et al, 2015;Chan, Sinhal, 2013;Rhodes, Pivik, Sutton, 2015) might also be important for the positive attitudes towards risky driving.…”

Speeding Intention among Young Urban Drivers

“…The previous study indicates male had more intention involved in road violation (Speeding, mobile phoned used) compare to female (Horvath, Lewis, & Watson, 2012b;Vardaki & Yannis, 2013). Study done by (Özkan & Lajunen, 2006) resulted driver score high on safety skill identified to be had better safety records compare to those that score high in perceptual-motor skill (which male reported to had higher score). In further explanation, they specify male driver generated a high score on dialling, answering, and a short message is sending compare to the other sex.…”
