Predicting the Behavior of High-Risk Driving Style Based on Identity Styles

The Purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between high-risk driving behavior and identity styles. The Manchester Driving Behavior Questionnaire and Berzonsky’s Identity Style Questionnaire were used. The sample consisted of 150 undergraduate male and female students of Roudehen Islamic Azad University, (except the students in Psychology and education), in the academic years of 2012-2013. The sample was selected by random cluster sampling. Regression analysis of the data indicated a correlation between identity style and landslides variable of high risk driving. However, only the information-orientation identity style had negative correlations with four components of the Manchester Driving Behavior Questionnaire (landslides, intentional violations, errors, unintentional violations).
