ADHD has been associated with various forms of risky real life decision making, for example risky driving, unsafe sex and substance abuse. However, results from laboratory studies on decision making deficits in ADHD have been inconsistent, probably because of between study differences. We therefore performed a meta-regression analysis in which 37 studies (n ADHD=1175; n Control=1222) were inclu...

this study aimed to study the risky behavior and its relationship with social capital amongst the high school students of kerman city. social capital theories of colman and putnam were selected as the theoretical framework. the abstracted variables of research model are social capital (network ties of respondent with teachers, family and friends. network ties of respondents’ family with school)...

Driving behavior in traffic has been modeled quite successfully in simulation software using predefined car-following models rules. However, because most car-following models assume that vehicles could keep a safety distance away to avoid crash related conflicts; they are not capable to capture naturalistic driving behavior during safety-critical events. Also, vehicle detailed lateral maneuveri...

The majority of traffic accidents in Surabaya are dominated by motorcycles and drivers which whom mostly were teenagers This study aims to examine the relationship between attitudes, driving behavior, among young motorcyclist Surabaya. used a primary dataset 435 motorcyclists from 17to 25-year-old. uses structural equation modelling approach determine attitudes towards risky accidents. behavior...

The authors examined the effect of adaptation to expansion on overtaking maneuvers in a driving simulator. Following driving on a straight empty road for 5 min, drivers initiated overtaking substantially later (220-510 ms) than comparable maneuvers made following viewing a static scene or following 5 min of curve driving. Following adaptation to contraction (produced by driving backward), obser...

This study examines the mediating role of student-teacher relationship quality (conflict and closeness) in grades 4, 5, and 6 on the relation between background characteristics, difficult temperament at age 4 1/2 and risky behavior in 6th grade. The longitudinal sample of participants (N=1156) was from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development. Structural equation modeling was u...
