Self-concept as a risky driver: Mediating the relationship between racing video games and on-road driving violations in a community-based sample

Self-concept as a risky driver mediated the relationship between racing video game playing and self-reported driving violations for “drive'em up”, but not for “circuit racing” video games. These findings are congruent with Fischer and colleagues' experimental model that self-concept as a reckless driver mediated the relationship between racing video game playing for “drive'em up”, but not for “circuit racing” games and risk-taking behavior in a video of road traffic scenarios.
