Exploring the Concept of Unsafe Antisocial Behavior among Motor Vehicle Drivers: A Qualitative Study
Previous analyses have revealed that the human factor is significant in causing traffic accidents. Antisocial driving behaviors have led to a phenomenon called driving violence, which poses a significant risk to other road users. Accordingly, this study aimed to explore the concept of antisocial driving behavior and its various types.
This qualitative study was carried out using a content analysis approach and involved 12 participants selected through the purposive sampling method. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted from June to September 2019 in Tehran, Iran. Data were analyzed using Graneheim’s approach.
The study identified a total of 419 primary codes, 10 subcategories, and 5 main categories including culture, violation of laws, reduced traffic safety, reduced social welfare, and risk-taking behaviors.
Antisocial behaviors in driving are context-based and pose a potential risk to other road users. They often violate citizenship rights and driving laws while being related to the prevailing culture of the community. Therefore, appropriate interventions and policies should be adopted to reduce these behaviors.
