Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to adapt the Attitudes Toward Safety Regulations (ATSR) questionnaire for professional drivers (Douglas & Swartz, 2009) to Spanish and to analyze the scale’s psychometric properties. Method: A version adapted to Spanish was administered to 507 participants, 91.2% of whom were men and 8.8% were women. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis (ESEM) was applied. This results were replicated with the same number of items. The resulting subscales showed good reliability. When we related the scores obtained on these subscales to various external correlates and other scales, they showed good convergent and criterial validity. Conclusions: The ATSR questionnaire in Spanish version for all kinds of professional drivers of all areas is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing attitudes towards driving safety regulations. Future research could use the ATSR as a screening tool in combination with other instruments to select drivers who exhibit safe driving behaviors. This would result in fewer traffic collisions and fewer penalties for traffic violations.
