Sumario:Driving distractions are an important risk for road safety. In the research carried out for this thesis, we investigated how frequent distracted driving is and the potential relationships between this and several psychosocial variables using two different methodologies: observation and self-reports. On the one hand, 19% of drivers were observed to be engaging in a distracting behaviour, with talking to passengers, smoking, and talking on a handheld phone being the three most frequent ones. On the other hand, the most frequently reported distracting behaviours in face-to-face interviews were looking at something outside of the vehicle (92.1%), thinking about things unrelated to driving (90.1%), and manipulating the audio entertainment system (89.9%). Engagement in the distractions was significantly associated with their perceived descriptive social norm. Furthermore, drivers reported more accidents and near-misses in relation to mundane distractions such as being distracted by their own thinking than in relation to technological distractions
