Abstract
The involvement of personality factors in traffic accidents is supported by findings from psychiatric studies which focus on psychopathology, psychopathy, stress, alcoholism, and accident-proneness and from other studies which make use of psychological testing devices to measure components of personality. Further progress in clarifying the relationship between personality and traffic accidents may be achieved through the use of more appropriate validation criteria and more inclusive stylistic conceptions of personality.
