New Study Shows Men More Likely to Text and Drive

120 male and female college students were surveyed on their texting habits in a new study published in the International Journal of Strategic Management.

Four out of five of the students were reported texting while driving. And while the study revealed that women were more impulsive in their texting habits, men were more likely to text and drive because they believed they were skilled drivers.

Though most of the men surveyed believe that texting while driving is dangerous, they believed that they are better at texting and driving than others, demonstrating less awareness of the dangerousness of such beliefs.   Even the state laws forbidding it have little impact. Legislation apparently has little effect on people’s habits.

Other studies have shown that texting slows reaction time more than drinking and driving.
