Performance in Intelligence, Focused Attention and Personality in Different Groups of Drivers

Abstract This study attempted to identify differences in performance between groups of offending drivers, not offenders and drivers involved in accidents in intelligence, personality and focused attention, still evaluating the influence of the education level of the participants. Drivers in the process of renovation or addition of CNH category, a total of 319, of both sexes, with elementary school, high school and college, with ages ranging from 18 to 77 years (M = 40.62, SD = 10.8) comprised the sample. The results showed that the group variable (offenders, non offenders and involved in accidents) showed not significant for any of the measures considered, having been found significant influence of school level on measures of productivity (Palográfico) and intelligence (R1). The results suggest difficulties in differentiating group of drivers according to their performance on the instruments considered in this study.

摘要 本研究旨在识别违法驾驶人群体间的绩效差异，而非对比违法者与涉事故驾驶员在智力、人格及注意力集中度方面的差异，同时评估参与者受教育水平的影响。本研究的样本共319名正在办理机动车驾驶证（CNH）类别增驾或换证的驾驶员，涵盖男女两性，受教育程度涵盖小学、高中与大学本科，年龄跨度为18至77岁（均值M=40.62，标准差SD=10.8）。研究结果显示，群体变量（违法者、非违法者与涉事故驾驶员）对所有考察的测评指标均无显著影响，但受教育水平对工作效率（Palográfico）与智力（R1）两项测评指标存在显著影响。上述结果表明，基于本研究采用的测评工具的绩效表现，难以区分不同类别的驾驶员群体。
