Abstract

This study examined the associations between parents and their adult children driving style. The multidimensional driving style inventory, a self-report scale, was completed by 475 members of 174 families (father and/or mother, and one offspring), to assess four broad domains of driving style. Significant associations were found between parents and offspring's driving styles. In addition, specific associations were found between father-son and mother-daughter driving styles. The discussion focused on the importance of examining intra-familial transmission of driving styles as a basis for planning and designing effective safety interventions.
