The relationship of driving skills of students driving with their individual psychological features

Experimental data on the study of road behavior of driving school students are presented. The hypothesis was tested that the individual psychological differences of students are reflected in driving. The study was implemented on the basis of the training center «Technopark SibADI», Omsk. The sample size was 29 people (11 girls and 18 boys) aged 18 to 21 years. The initial level of preparedness of the participants in the experiment and the training conditions were the same. By the method of expert assessments, it has been established that persons exhibiting approximate and performing driving styles choose various driving techniques in the traffic flow. Depending on driving style, the nature of the correlation between professional driving skills and individual psychological characteristics changes. It was experimentally revealed that, depending on the typological features of the manifestation of the properties of the nervous system, the properties of temperament and the level of personal anxiety, novice drivers have different priorities in driving.
