• Resumen

  • El objetivo de esta investigación es identificar y analizar los factores que influyen en la creación de un perfil de conductor de alto riesgo entre los jóvenes conductores. La finalidad de ello es tener evidencias científicas que permitan diseñar iniciativas de intervención educativa para minimizar el riesgo de sufrir accidentes de tráfico y prevenir el desarrollo de perfiles de alto riesgo en jóvenes conductores. Con el propósito de identificar las influencias que podíantener más peso en la creación del perfil de riesgo se analizaron los factores familia, grupo de iguales y pareja, reacción a situaciones estresantes, videojuegos, e involucración en accidentes de tráfico en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios. Los resultados indican que la mayor influencia sería ejercida por la familia y el grupo de iguales, mientras que por otro lado, las autoescuelas se posicionarían como el mayor factor protector en la prevención de la aparición del perfil de conductor de riesgo. A partir de estos hallazgos se recomienda el desarrollo de programas que permitan reforzar el rol modelador de aquellos que enseñan a los jóvenes a conducir.
