Abstract This paper examines the relationships among self-reported seat-belt use, attitudes towards compulsory seat-belt use, and individual differences dimensions in samples of 91 females and 89 males ranging in age from 18 to 24 yr. The results show (a) support for the compulsory use of seat belts (78% for females, 66% for males); (b) significant relationships between reported seat belt use and four fear of death and dying subscales; and, (c) no relationships between the seat-belt variables and Eysenckian personality variables. One caveat is that the generalizability of results from this student sample to other driver populations may be limited.
