• An application of the Driver Behaviour Questionnaire in an Australian organisational fleet setting (2007, background): “The latter questionnaire has recently become one of the most widely implemented measurement scales to examine self-reported driving behaviours (Lajunen & Summala, 2003).”
• The Manchester Driver Behaviour Questionnaire as a predictor of road traffic accidents (2011, methodology): “…axis factor or principal components analysis with direct oblimin (Özkan and Lajunen 2005, Özkan et al. 2006) or varimax (Özkan et al. 2006) rotation, direct summing of scores (Dobson et al. 1999, Lajunen and Summala 2003), or no report of the analysis used (Parker et al. 1995b, Parker 1999).”
• The effect of social desirability on self reported and recorded road traffic accidents (2010, background): “That such behaviours are seen as the social norm by researchers can be exemplified by Lajunen and Summala (2003), who said about the Manchester Driver Behaviour Questionnaire; “.”
• A cross‐cultural comparison of road traffic risk perceptions, attitudes towards traffic safety and driver behaviour (2011, background): “Although we can not entirely exclude this possibility, Lajunen and Summala ( 2003 ) argued that desirability bias is not a significant source of bias in studies regarding road traffic safety.”
• Social desirability and self-reported driving behaviours: Should we be worried? (2010, methodology): “In a subsequent study, constituting the public setting were 47 applicants for a driving instructor training course who completed the Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ; Reason et al., 1990) as part of the entrance examination (Lajunen & Summala, 2003).”
