The research aimed to compare the psychological profile of two groups: motorcyclists that use the motorcycle only for leisureand “motoboys” who use it mainly for work. 30 participants (15 motoboys and 15 motorcyclists) were studied. The instruments were the ACT (Attention Concentration Test); the DAT (Divided Attention Test); and the Whoqol. Results in the ACT show significant differences between motoboys and motorcyclists: the former presenting less incidence of attention concentration than the latter. This difference might be justified by the fact that motoboys’ work environment involves more diverse contingencies.
A pesquisa realizada teve como objetivo comparar alguns aspectos psicológicos de dois grupos sendo motociclistas que se utilizam da motocicleta apenas para lazer e dos motoboys, que se utilizam do meio de transporte principalmente para o trabalho. Por meio de instrumentos psicológicos e do questionário WHOQOL, foi avaliado o nível de atenção concentrada e difusa e qualidade de vida dos participantes. A pesquisa contou com 30 participantes, sendo 15 do grupo de motoboys e 15 de motociclistas. Utilizou-se como instrumentos o teste AC (Atenção Concentrada), TADIM (Atenção Difusa) e o questionário Whoqol. Observou-se que houve diferença significativa no teste de atenção concentrada, sendo que o escore dos motoboys apresentou menor índice que dos motociclistas. Esta diferença pode ser justificada pelo fato do ambiente de trabalho dos motoboys ser composto de diversas contingências.
