- Description
- This paper discusses the result of a quasi experimental study aimed to investigate the relationship between personality traits and aggressive (aberrant) driving among young Malaysian drivers. 127 students with mean age of 22 (68 males and 59 females) and valid class B2 driving license were recruited for the study. Before exposure to experimental intervention, the participants completed Eysenck's Impulsivity Inventory (aka IVE Questionnaire) which assessed personality traits (impulsiveness, venturesome and empathy), and AVIS Questionnaire, developed by Vienna Test System (VTS) which assessed aggressiveness while driving. In the experiment the participants were shown video scenarios of aggressive driving as a stimulus for aggressive driving evaluation. They were then asked to respond to questions related to provocations and aggressive behaviour from other drivers on to themselves and of other drivers being provoked by the same situation. The results revealed significant relationship between empathy and personality types (p<0.05) where subjects who score low on empathy and high on venturesome-ness tended to be more aggressive. Even though nearly all participants admitted that Malaysian drivers were aggressive on the road, only 15% of the participants agreed that they are aggressive drivers themselves. Based on this study's results, it is suggested that personality screening tests should be implemented by the relevant agencies as a preliminary measure to reduce the road rage phenomena and aggressive driving
