چکیده
Drinking and driving expectancies as a mediator of impulsivity's influence on drinking and driving" (2010). Finally, we examined the significance of the indirect effect of the impulsivity traits through drinking and driving expectancies on drinking and driving frequency. These results suggest that the association between impulsivity traits and drinking and driving is at least partially mediated by expectancies (see Table 2). Discussion All drinking and driving expectancies, except Excitement Seeking, partially mediated the association between impulsivity traits and drinking and driving frequency. One way that individual differences in impulsivity can influence decisions about drinking and driving is by altering the development of expectancies about that behavior.
