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.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
