Dissertation
Attitudes and Behaviors Towards Drinking and Driving and Texting While Driving
2020
Overview
Car accidents are the fourth highest cause of deaths in the U.S. (Insurance Information Institute [iii], 2017). Teens often engage in risky behavior while driving, increasing the chances of accidents and death. Programs designed to decrease risky driving behaviors generally have limited success. Interventions and learning programs such as driver’s education, DARE, Victim Impact Panels, etc. have a short-term impact, but the healthy attitudes are not maintained over time. The current study aimed to determine whether the original FVG/texting intervention with 8th-grade students had long-term effects on attitudes towards drinking and driving (D&D) and texting while driving (TWD). Participants in the current study included original participants (treatment group), who were seniors, as well as additional seniors who did not previously participate (control group). Twenty students completed the measurements to evaluate attitudes towards drinking and driving and texting and driving were administered. Results indicated that participants who were in the original study in middle school had significantly lower than average rationalizing for D&D than the control group.
