The doctor in Psychology and teacher at the European University of the Atlantic (UNEATLANTICO), David Herrero, has published a scientific article in the field of psychology. Itwas written in collaboration with Juan Luis Martín-Ayala, academic director of the degree in Psychology (PSI) of UNEATLANTICO and Dr. Esther Setién-Suero.
The article is entitled The role of subjective risk perception and self-esteem in the relationship between sensation seeking and aberrant behaviors on the road: A moderated-moderation model and was published in the journal “Elsevier”. Its focus is on the relationship between self-esteem and socially aberrant and dangerous behaviors.
For the writing of this article, two studies were conducted with the voluntary participation of about 707 people; 471 people participated in the first one and 236 in the second one. Both studies were conducted using a form, one focused on analyzing the psychometric properties of the person on the Risk Perception Scale (RPS). The results showed that both self-esteem and the perception of risk that a person may have, affect the aberrant behavior they may present while driving.
