Produktbeschreibung

In Cameroon, road accidents are the second leading cause of death after malaria. The behavior of motorists is cited at 70% as the cause. To this effect, the Cameroonian driver is perceived as an uncivilized person who is hounded by repressive measures. However, driving is a complex task that requires perceptive, motor and cognitive abilities. Some driving situations can hinder the motorist's abilities, such as experiencing anger at the wheel, which can generate distracting thoughts and lead to road risks. The main objective of this dissertation is to study the interrelationship between road rage, mental wandering and road risk taking among Cameroonian motor vehicle drivers. The DAS, the MWS and the road risk taking scale were self-administered during a questionnaire survey of 376 Cameroonian motorists living in the cities of Dschang and Bafoussam.
