Social adjustment profiles of female drivers involved in fatal and nonfatal accidents
JW Shaffer, CW Schmidt Jr, HI Zlotowitz and RS Fisher
Previous research by the authors has shown that male drivers involved in
fatal and nonfatal accidents can be differentiated from the general
population on the basis of background, behavior, and social adjustment. The
results of the present study suggest that female drivers involved in
serious crashes do not differ from the overall female driving population.
