Abstract

The aim of the present study was to find whether attitude functions could be useful in predicting aberrant driving. One of the attitudes` functions is to express values; hence, we hypothesized that attitudes whose function is to express values will better predict traffic violations. We explored: (i) values in relation to attitudes towards aberrant driving behavior by regression analysis; (ii) and we explored moderating role of attitude functions in value-attitude-behavior relations. The study sample included 305 respondents who completed self-report questionnaires. Current research confirms previous results and also shows that values do predict attitudes when individual had formed his/her attitudes based on values and attitudes mediate values — behavior link when value-expressive function is dominating.
