- Abstract
This study aimed to explore the psychometric parameters of the Dula Dangerous Driving Index (DDDI) in Brazil. Four hundred and forty drivers (Mage=29.6; SDage=10.01) divided into two groups with 220 participants each, regrouped to evaluate the concurrent validity of the concise version of the measure. With the first group, the DDDI three-factor structure was verified, presenting acceptable reliability, difficulty and discrimination of the items. Based on previous analysis, 15 items were selected, testing their factor structure with the second group of participants, observing acceptable fit indexes (GFI=.99; RMSEA=.03). The concurrent validity was verified based on correlations between the DDDI, its subscales and the number of fines received by the drivers, involvement in infractions, traffic accidents and fights. The results provided evidences supporting the DDDI adequacy, which can be a useful tool to understand the antecedents and consequences of risk actions in traffic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
