Abstract

The distracting effects of texting while driving activity of young adults are receiving increasing attention. The findings indicate that individuals involved in texting while driving also engage in other risky behaviors. Furthermore, frequency of texting while driving appears to be related to several factors, including self-control, attitudes toward texting and responsible driving, and opinions of peers, but interestingly not with social responsibility. In conclusion, the frequency of texting while driving of young adults appears to be related to several factors, suggesting possible ways the frequency of texting while driving may be affected.
