Individual differences in accident liability: a review and integrative approach
Rebecca Lawton,Dianne Parker +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that research into individual differences in accident liability should consider two possible routes to accident involvement via errors and/or violations, although errors are predominantly associated with cognitive factors, violations have their origins in social psychological factors.

Accident proneness: A conceptual analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative approach to individual differences in accident involvement is advocated, which cuts through the conceptual confusion and is less susceptible to the criticisms which have been levelled against the traditional statistical techniques.

Are there injury-prone children? A critical review of the literature
TL;DR: A critical review of the literature suggests that aggression is a consistent risk factor for general injuries but not for pedestrian injuries, hyperactivity is inconsistently associated with all types of injuries, and both a general measure of behaviour problems and a measure of unsafe behaviour were found to be significantly related to pedestrian injuries.
Journal ArticleDOI
The development history of accident causation models in the past 100 years: 24Model, a more modern accident causation model
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method for classifying accident causation models is proposed, and the method divides the accident causal models into linear and non-linear models, and further divides the latter models into human-based, statistics-based and energy-based models.

The concept of accident proneness: a review.
Peter Froggatt,James A. Smiley +1 more
TL;DR: Much of the work and theory on which the concept of accident proneness is based is described, the difficulties encountered in obtaining valid information and the interpretative errors that can arise from the examination of imperfect data are detailed, and why it is explained why it became so readily accepted as an explanation of the facts.
