“My son is reliable” young drivers’ parents’ optimism and views on the norms of parental involvement in youth driving. Guttman, N. Journal of Adolescent Research, 28(2):241-268, 3, 2013. abstract bibtex The high crash rate among teenage drivers is of great concern across nations. Parents' involvement is known to help increase their young drivers' driving safety. Parents can place restrictions on their son's/daughter's driving (e.g., restrict night time driving), which can enable the young driver to gain driving experience in safer conditions. Little is known about what parents think about parental responsibility regarding young drivers' driving and this study addresses this question. The study draws on both quantitative and qualitative data that were obtained through a phone survey of 906 Israeli parents of young drivers that included both open- and closed-ended items and 20 semistructured interviews with parents. The study found that parents tended to be optimistic about their own child's driving compared with other young drivers and were relatively unconcerned about speeding. Most parents thought restrictions regarding driving at night or talking on the phone should be placed on young drivers and believed many parents do not enforce them. Many parents feel they are unable to influence young drivers' driving. However, most parents restrict young drivers driving when they are tired. Two contrasting conceptions of parental responsibility were identified and presented as a model. Potential implications for road safety campaigns from a social norms perspective are also discussed in this study.
