| Popis: | Despite the potential for improving hazard perception skills, novice driver training interventions run the risk of student overestimations in driving skills and increased risk-taking, e.g., speeding—particularly for young male drivers. Provided is the simulator performance and survey (driver self-confidence and speeding risk attitude) data of simulator trained and no-trained students from a high school driver education intervention, N = 316. Multivariate analysis of simulator performance measures and survey results at pre/post-test showed that simulator trained drivers had better hazard perception and higher driver self-confidence than no-trained drivers at semester end. While no strong sex differences were found for driving performance, males showed higher self-confidence and speed risk attitudes. Females lowered their speed risk attitudes regardless of training group. However, only simulator trained males lowered their speeding attitude while no-trained males showed no change. Driving simulation training that provides repeated collision events may help novice male drivers in particular by mediating the effects of over self-confidence from driving skill acquisition programs. |
