This paper is part of a larger research on the psychological determinants of
risky behavior in road traffic. The number of road accidents continues to increase in the
EU. particularly among young adults. It is therefore important to explore the relationship
between variables to identify predictors of behavior in different research groups. The main
objective of this project is to characterize selected psychomotor factors and to verify the
model in which personality is the mediator of the relationship between reaction time and
the correctness of the perception of objects in traffic. An experimental procedure was
prepared and carried out using the Vienna Test System. Personality, motor and reaction
time, time-movement anticipation, and traffic perception were measured on a sample of 60
participants from Poland, Slovakia, and Lithuania. Results have shown the difference
between males and females in self-control personality factor and motor reaction time.
Between the sense of responsibility and time-movement anticipation, a positive significant
correlation was found. Finally, the assumed model was confirmed, so mental stability is
the mediator of the relationship between reaction time and traffic perception. In conclusion,
a driver who has a high level of mental stability can react in a shorter time to a stimulus
without losing the ability to correctly perceive objects in road traffic. Research should be
replicated with other age groups and it is worth adding other variables that directly affect
traffic safety.
