the parental factor in adolescent Reckless Driving the road ahead
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2014Co-Authors: Orit Taubman BenariAbstract:This editorial introduces the articles in this issue, which is dedicated to the role parents play in the children's Driving habits. The research has identified an association between parents' model of Driving behavior and their adolescent offsprings' Driving. Parental Driving modes have also been found to have an impact on teens' attitudes about accompanied Driving and endorsement of Driving style. Parental modeling of anxious, risky or angry Driving styles have been found to be associated with higher tension, avoidance, disapproval and anxiety in children's attitudes toward the accompanied Driving period. This editorial explores possible explanations for this parental influence, including the socialization processes through which parents communicate their standards of conduct, and the articles in this issue further explore the topic.

the contribution of family climate for road safety and social environment to the reported Driving behavior of young drivers
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2012Co-Authors: Orit Taubman Benari, Liat Katz BenamiAbstract:Abstract Two studies examined the contribution of the new concept of “family climate for road safety” and several aspects of the social environment to the Driving behavior of young drivers. Study 1 ( n = 120) investigated the effect of the seven dimensions of the family climate for road safety – Modeling, Feedback, Communication, Monitoring, Noncommitment, Messages, and Limits – as well as a general tendency to conform to authority, and peer pressure. Study 2 ( n = 154) examined the dimensions of family climate for road safety and perceived popularity of Reckless Driving among peers. The findings indicate associations both between the familial and the social aspects, and between these variables and Driving styles, willingness to take risks while Driving, Reckless Driving habits, and personal commitment to safe Driving. Positive aspects of the parent–child relationship and high levels of conformity to authority were related to greater endorsement of the careful Driving style, whereas family's noncommitment to safety, higher peer pressure, and lower conformity to authority were associated with greater endorsement of the Reckless Driving style. In addition, positive aspects of the family climate for road safety and lower perceived popularity of Reckless Driving among friends were associated with more personal commitment to safe Driving and a lower tendency for risky Driving. The discussion stresses the need to look at the complex set of antecedents of Reckless Driving among young drivers and addresses the practical implications of the findings for road safety.

the effects of positive emotion priming on self reported Reckless Driving
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2012Co-Authors: Orit Taubman BenariAbstract:Five studies examined the effects of positive emotion priming on the willingness to drive Recklessly. In all five, young drivers were exposed to one of the following primes of positive affect: a positive mood story; happy memories; an exciting film; a relaxing film; or thoughts on the meaning in life. Following the prime, the participants were asked to report on their willingness to drive Recklessly. The responses were compared to those of groups exposed either to neutral affect, another kind of positive affect, or negative affect priming. In two of the studies, participants were also asked to report on their Driving styles (risky, anxious, angry, or careful) as a second dependent variable. Positive affect, especially in the form of arousal, was found to be related to higher willingness to drive Recklessly. Although men tended to report higher intentions to drive Recklessly, men and women did not react differently to the emotional induction. Most interestingly, positive emotions of a relaxing nature, as well as thinking about the meaning in life, lowered the willingness to engage in risky Driving. The discussion emphasizes the importance of looking for new ways to use positive emotions effectively in road safety interventions, and considers the practical implications of the studies.

a multi factorial framework for understanding Reckless Driving appraisal indicators and perceived environmental determinants
Transportation Research Part F-traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 2004Co-Authors: Orit Taubman Benari, Mario Mikulincer, Amit IramAbstract:Abstract The current study adopted an approach, in which Reckless Driving is perceived as related to both personal and environmental factors. Young drivers ( N = 295) reported on Reckless Driving related threat and challenge appraisals, their perceived control over Reckless Driving, their disregard for negative consequences of this specific behavior, positive feedback received on their Driving, environmental Driving-climate and negative Driving modeling. The dependent measure was self-reported frequency of Reckless Driving. Findings indicated that challenge and self-efficacy appraisals, along with negative environmental influences were related to higher frequency of risky Driving, whereas threat appraisals, as well as positive feedback, were related to a lower frequency of Reckless Driving. In addition, whereas for men, self-efficacy in Driving strongly predicted Reckless Driving, disregard for negative consequences was an important predictor for women. The results are discussed in view of an evaluating process of personal cognitive-emotional resources and environmental support proposed by Lazarus. Recommendations are made regarding the potential effectiveness of using positive appeals in prevention interventions.

the effect of reminders of death on Reckless Driving a terror management perspective
Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2000Co-Authors: Orit Taubman BenariAbstract:Why do young people, especially young men, engage in Reckless Driving despite the fact that this behavior contradicts the basic biological imperative of self-preservation? Answering this interesting and crucial question may lead to effective interventions. A series of studies, based on terror management theory, examined the effects of reminders of death on risk taking while Driving. The dependent measures were either self-reported behavioral intentions of risky Driving or Driving speed in a car simulator. Findings showed that mortality-salience inductions led to more risky Driving than the control condition only among individuals who perceived Driving as relevant to their self-esteem. The introduction of positive feedback about Driving eliminated this effect. The complex role of self-esteem in the process of risk taking is discussed.

Does a threat appeal moderate Reckless Driving? A terror management theory perspective
Accident Analysis and Prevention, 2000Co-Authors: Orit Taubman Ben-ari, Victor Florian, Mario MikulincerAbstract:A series of two studies examined the effects of threat appeals on Reckless Driving from a terror management theory perspective. In both studies, all the participants (N = 109) reported on the relevance of Driving to their self-esteem, and, then, half of them were exposed to a road trauma film and the remaining to a neutral film. In Study 1, the dependent variable was the self-report of intentions to drive Recklessly in hypothetical scenarios. In Study 2, the dependent variable was actual behavior (Driving speed) in a Driving simulator. Findings indicated that a road trauma film led to less reported intentions of Reckless Driving, but to higher Driving speed than a neutral film. These effects were only found among participants who perceived Driving as relevant to their self-esteem. The discussion emphasized the self-enhancing mechanisms proposed by the terror management theory. © 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The impact of mortality salience on Reckless Driving: A test of terror management mechanisms
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1999Co-Authors: Orit Taubman Ben-ari, Victor Florian, Mario MikulincerAbstract:A series of 4 studies, based on terror management theory (TMT), examined the effects of mortality salience on risk taking while Driving. In all the studies, participants (N = 603) reported on the relevance of Driving to their self-esteem. Then half of them were exposed to various mortality salience inductions, and the remaining to a control condition. The dependent measures were either self-reported behavioral intentions of risky Driving or Driving speed in a car simulator. In Study 4, half of the participants in each condition received positive feedback about their quality of Driving. Findings showed that mortality salience inductions led to more risky Driving than the control condition only among individuals who perceived Driving as relevant to their self-esteem. The introduction of positive feedback about Driving eliminated this effect. The results were discussed in light of the self-enhancing mechanisms proposed by TMT.

Reckless Driving and gender an examination of a terror management theory explanation
Death Studies, 2003Co-Authors: Orit Taubmanbenari, Liora FindlerAbstract:A study, based on Terror Management Theory, examined the effects of mortality salience on young men's and women's behavioral intentions to drive Recklessly. Participants ( N =206) reported on the relevance of Driving to their self-esteem. Half of them were exposed to a mortality salience induction and the remaining to a control condition. Then they were asked about their willingness to drive Recklessly in various scenarios. Findings showed that mortality salience led to higher intentions to drive Recklessly than the control condition only among men who perceived Driving as relevant to their self-esteem. No such differences were found among women. Results are discussed in light of the self-enhancing and cultural-worldviews-validating mechanisms proposed by the Terror Management Theory.

the effect of reminders of death on Reckless Driving a terror management persepective
Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2000Co-Authors: Orit TaubmanbenariAbstract:This paper discusses the Reckless Driving behavior sometimes exhibited by young people. It describes studies which examine Reckless Driving through the framework of terror management theory. The findings of the studies imply that making mortality seem significant might alter the perception of Reckless Driving among people who see Driving as important to their self esteem.
