1. Research Question:Does talking on a cell phone while driving impair driving performance compared to driving with a passenger or driving alone?

2. Hypothesis (specific prediction):If drivers use a cell phone while driving, then they will show worse driving performance (slower reaction times, more crashes, less awareness) compared to driving with a passenger or driving alone.

3. Independent Variables (IV):The type of conversation while driving:

·       No conversation

·       Passenger conversation

·       Cell phone conversation

4. Dependent Variables (DV):Measures of driving performance, including:

·       Reaction time to hazards

·       Number of crashes

·       Driving awareness (e.g., noticing traffic conditions, lane changes)

5. Random Assignment:Yes, participants were randomly assigned to conditions.  The purpose of random assignment is to ensure that differences in results are due to the independent variable (type of conversation) and not because of pre-existing differences between participants.

6. Research Design:Experimental.  This is because the researchers manipulated an independent variable (conversation type) and measured its effect on dependent variables (driving performance).

7. Conclusion from Figure 1.1:Figure 1.1 showed that participants talking on a cell phone had more crashes and slower reaction times than those with a passenger or no conversation. This supports the idea that cell phone use while driving significantly impairs performance.

8. New Research Question & Hypothesis (your own idea):

·       Research Question: Does texting with voice-to-text software while driving impair performance differently than traditional manual texting?

·       Hypothesis: If drivers use voice-to-text to send messages, then their driving performance will be better than manual texting but still worse than driving without any phone use.

·       Careless driving causes many crashes, a study by Drews and colleagues in 2008 reveals cell phone use makes things particularly risky. The study checked ifusing a cell phone while driving made people driveworse than when they chatted with someone in thecar, or drove by themselves. People thought using cell phones while driving would make things worse, research showed they were right. People driving whileusing cell phones reacted slower, got into more accidents, paid less attention to what was happeningaround them.

·       We changed how much people talked while theydrove. People either didn’t talk, talked with someonein the car, or talked on the phone. We measureddriving ability by looking at things like how quicklypeople reacted, how often they had accidents, theirunderstanding of what was happening around them. Researchers put people into groups by chance. Thismakes the study better, it shows any differences in results came from the talks themselves, not from whothe people are. Researchers tested the design bychanging how conversations happened, thenobserved the results. The data in Figure 1.1 showeddrivers had more accidents when they used cell phones.

·       If I used this information in a campaign, I would stressthat drivers get distracted because of what’shappening in their minds, not only because of whatthey do with their hands or eyes. Devices letting youuse your hands don’t make things safe, people still getdistracted. A safety campaign might share stories ofactual crashes, alongside research from Drews andcolleagues from 2008, to demonstrate that even briefphone calls while driving endanger people.

·      Researchers might investigate if speaking messagesis less risky than typing them. Using a phone mightlower certain dangers, yet it will likely make it harderto focus than if you didn’t use one at all.

What do you think is the most effective way to change driver behavior regarding cell phone use—through stricter laws, public awareness campaigns, or advances in car technology—and why?

this is the assignment 

STEP 1: Watch the Distracted Driving: One Call Can Change Everything video (see video transcript).

One goal of psychology is to conduct controlled experiments that let us understand the effects of something on an outcome. The research showing that distracted driving is a cognitive issue – not a motor issue – is important. If distracted driving were a matter of not being able to physically control the wheel while holding an object, then hands-free devices would solve the problem. But there is a cognitive issue involved–an important perceptual process known as “selective attention”. This is the ability to focus on some sensory inputs while tuning out others. Of course, the part we tune out while momentarily looking at our cell phone or talking on our cell phone–is our driving. This is why talking while driving is a problem, even if you’re not holding a phone. Our attention is divided. We know this because of experimental data. This is one way that psychological research helps society.

STEP 2: Review the Research Summary on Distracted Driving 

• Research Summary on Distracted Driving

STEP 3: In your discussion post this week, first answer the following questions based on the study described in Step 2: 

Based on the Research Summary on Distracted Driving:

1. What was the research question that guided the work by Drews et al. (2008)? What was their hypothesis (specific prediction)?
2. What is/are the Independent Variables (IV)?
3. What is/are Dependent Variables (DV)?
4. Were the participants randomly assigned to conditions? What is the purpose of random assignment?
5. What kind of research design did this study use (e.g., descriptive, correlational, or experimental)? Explain your answer.
6. What can you conclude from looking at Figure 1.1?
7. Based on the Research Summary on Distracted Driving, develop your own research question and hypothesis that is related to the topic. This should be something that researchers could study next to learn more about the topic of Distracted Driving.
   • Tips: The research question identifies what the study will focus on and guides the research process. The hypothesis is based on the research question. It is a statement that makes a prediction about the relationship among the variables in the study (you can use If-Then statements).

STEP 4: In a 200-400 word essay, discuss how would you use the data from the Drews et al. (2008) study to address the issue of Distracted Driving (feel free to be creative, you can create a plan or campaign)?  

Use APA-style citations in your response. Here is a library tutorial that shows you how: Writing and Citing 

STEP 5: At the end of your summary, post an open-ended discussion question, one that cannot be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”, about what you learned this week and solicit feedback from your classmates.

For example, “How would you conduct an experiment on…? Why do you think this may or may not work? What other issues might you address?”

STEP 6: Post responses (75-100 words each) to the questions of at least two of your classmates.
