International literature in this field has focused on clinical populations; evaluations of the psychological difficulties in adulthood have rarely been aimed at non-referred samples. The present study assessed the psychological functioning of a non-referred sample of adolescents, with consideration given to the impact of the loss of a caregiver during childhood on their psychological profiles. It also evaluated the association between the adolescents’ psychological profiles and possible psychopathological risk in the surviving parents. Three groups of subjects (N=96) were considered: adolescents who had suffered the loss before 3 years of age (Group A); adolescents who had experienced loss between 3 and 10 years of age (Group B); and adolescents who had experienced no loss (Group C). Psychological profiles, eating difficulties, and dissociative symptoms were evaluated during adolescence (14-16 years of age). Also assessed were the psychological profiles of the surviving caregivers.

The definitive publisher-authenticated version – Brackstone M, Waterson B & McDonald M (2009) “Determinants of Following Headway in Congested Traffic”, Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behavior, 12(2), p131-142 – is available online at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2008.09.003 DETERMINANTS OF FOLLOWING HEADWAY IN CONGESTED TRAFFIC TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH PART F – 12(2), 131-142 Mark Brackstone (*Egis Mobilite UK Ltd, Bristol, U.K.) Ben Waterson and Mike McDonald (Transportation Research Group, University of Southampton, U.K.) ABSTRACT This paper reports on results of a study undertaken in the U.K. aimed at investigating factors affecting the car following process. An understanding of the factors affecting this complex decision making process is essential to a wide range of theoretical issues including driver workload, capacity and the modeling of freeway flow, as well as practical applications such as the design of in-vehicle driver aids and assistance systems, many of which have direct relevance to increasing driver safety. The study used an instrumented vehicle to collect time dependent following data for a group of test drivers. Data was collected on two differing types of high speed road, using six primary subjects who drove a test vehicle, supplemented by data on one hundred and twenty three drivers that were observed following the test vehicle. Examination was made of how the time headway chosen by a driver is influenced by a range of situational variables commonly believed to effect behavior, with four main findings.

This research is conducted based on those assumption to enhance driver safety behaviour. The main of objective is to identify and analyze the psychological and spiritual factors that contribute to safe driving behaviour. A total of 256 respondents from various type of background were distributed handed with a self-administered questionnaire. Demographic and experience of respondents was analysed using a descriptive statistics.

The disproportionate fatality risk is linked to several known factors, ranging from failure to yield to cognitive and visual limitations to seatbelt use abstention to fragility. Through a series of focus groups, usability tests, and a controlled field test, a universally designed smartphone app (called RoadCoach) designed to reduce risky driving behaviors, such as speeding and hard braking, was previously found to have high usability among older drivers.

  • Traffic Psychology - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Traffic psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_psychology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Traffic psychology is a discipline of psychology that studies the relationship between psychological processes and the behavior of road users. In general, traffic psychology aims to apply theoretical aspects of psychology in order to improve traffic mobility by helping to develop and apply accident countermeasures, as well as by guiding desired behaviors through education and the motivation of road users.[1][2] Behavior is frequently studied in conjunction with accident research in order to assess causes and differences in accident involvement.[1] Traffic psychologists distinguish three motivations of driver behavior: reasoned or planned behavior, impulsive or emotional behavior, and habitual behavior. Additionally, social and cognitive applications of psychology are used, such as enforcement, road safety education campaigns, and also therapeutic and rehabilitation programs.[2] Broad theories of cognition,[3] sensory-motor and neurological aspects psychology are also applied to the field of traffic psychology. Studies of factors such as attention, memory, spatial cognition, inexperience, stress, inebriation, distracting/ambiguous stimuli, fatigue, and secondary tasks such as phone conversations are used to understand and investigate the experience and actions of road users.[2][4][5] 1 Some definitions 2 Behavior Research 3 Accident research 3.1 Human factors 4 Psychological research 4.1 Neuropsychology 5 Psychological assessment, counseling, and rehabilitation 6 Approach 7 See also 8 References 9 Further reading Traffic psychology deals with the noncognitive, cognitive, and sensory-motor aspects of people in the context of driving, dealing with traffic, and dealing with others.

  • EFA and the Research Unit of Traffic Psychology of the Sacro Cuore
    EFA and the Research Unit of Traffic Psychology of the Sacro Cuore University of Milan have just signed a Memorandum of Understanding to seal an active collaboration for years. We meet the new director Federica Biassoni. 1) Professor, who is the traffic psychologist? How do you become a traffic psychologist? The traffic psychologist is an expert whose formation integrates a multidisciplinary approach (deep knowledge of the road context, a complex and potentially hazardous context, and foremost the understanding of how human mind works, specifically cognitive, affective, motivational processes and perception and hazard management) aiming to project and develop researches and interventions to prevent and implement safety in the road context. In order to become a traffic psychologist, specific psychological knowledge needs to be enhanced with detailed models describing the road users. Thus, a proper knowledge of perceptive models, behavioral models, decision making, agency and psychophysiological latency, acted by human beings as inter-actors between the environment, themselves and mobility processes. A masterclass in traffic psychology, addressed to psychology graduates, was developed by the Research Unit in order to provide specific competence, taking care of the other figures involved in the road safety field. A key skill for the traffic psychologist is an inter-disciplinary perspective needed to interact with different professions, with their specific competences, in the road safety environment. An effective knowledge improvement through research and action is possible only by recognizing each profession’s specificity and the awareness of needing such integration in different competences. 2) How long has the research unit been open? The Research Unit in traffic psychology was created in 2007, in the Psychology Department of Catholic University in Milan, under the direction of Prof.
