摘要：

Evidence has indicated that drivers with higher sensation-seeking scores had higher rates of risky behaviors, such as driving while intoxicated and driving at high speeds. Using a convenience sampling method, 361 car-drivers were recruited in..., Iran. To collect data in this cross-sectional descriptive study, the demographic questionnaire, Zukerman's Sensation-Seeking Scale (SSS), and the Manchester Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) were used. The results showed a significant positive relationship between sensation-seeking and dangerous driving behaviors (r = 0.79,p < 0.001). There were significant relationships between participants' dangerous driving behaviors and age, marital status, years of education, and history of accidents (p <= 0.05). Our results showed that driver-related factors, including sensation-seeking, predicted dangerous driving behaviors in a population with high risks of accidents. Among the four subscales of sensation-seeking, the partial correlations between two subscales adventure-seeking and boredom susceptibility and dangerous driving behaviors were significant.
