The Impact of Impulsivity on the Driving Behavior among Gig Drivers
Abstract: This study explored how the impulsiveness influences driving behavior among the GIG drivers (delivery drivers). The research is focused on finding whether higher impulsive tendencies are related to the poor driving behavior in this group. Data were collected from 200 gig drivers who completed two standardized tools: one measuring impulsivity and another assessing driving behavior. The impulsivity levels appeared moderate, with a mean score of 31.93 and a standard deviation of 5.807, this indicates noticeable variation among participants. Driving behavior scores averaged 20.66, with a standard deviation of 5.538, showing that drivers differed considerably in how they reported their driving habits and actions on the road. The two variables were examined in Pearson’s correlation method and found a positive and statistically significant correlation. These findings highlight that impulsive tendencies may play an important role in shaping how drivers react and make decisions while driving in the roads.
