Psychology of Driving - PSY440
This unit is subject to a quota. Limited places are available. Please refer to the Faculty for further information
This unit is concerned with the application of various psychological theories in the context of driving. How do theories of perception, attention and risk-taking explain why some road accidents occur? What effect does a driver's age have on their risk of having an accident, and why? How do drugs: prescribed or ‘recreational’ affect driving? How can we develop methods to change risky attitudes and behaviours?
