Abstract
This thesis investigates how video game experience influences high-risk driving behaviour in a in a driving simulator. Participants completed a number of personality questionnaires (IPIP-R sub-scale for risk-taking, sensation seeking scale and driver confidence questionnaire) and experienced a number of driving events in the University of Calgary Driving Simulator (UCDS). Driving behaviour was analyzed with a repeated measures ANOVA and a step-wise logistic regression to determine whether video game experience was related or could predict driving behaviour.
