Do you text while driving? You likely share a fundamental trait with others who do the same.
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have identified a common behavioral characteristic among people who engage in the risky business of texting and driving: impulsiveness. Their study, published in the October issue of Accident Analysis & Prevention, looked at delayed discounting — or people’s devaluation of a delayed reward — among those who said they frequently text while driving, and those who said they do not.
Those who regularly partake in this tempting but dangerous activity had something in common: They were less interested in delayed rewards than their non-texting-while-driving counterparts. In other words, they tended to be more impulsive.
“The study supports the conclusions that texting while driving is fundamentally an impulsive choice made by drivers,” the authors wrote.
