The Implamentation of a Psychological Assessment During the Process of Acquiring a Driver’s License

Abstract

The Implementation of a Psychological Assessment During the Process of Acquiring a Driver’s License is a pilot study aiming to explore the dangers lying within the Streets of Saudi Arabia. It wishes to answer the central question of “How would the streets of Saudi Arabia become safer for drivers?”. The study hypothesizes 3 factors affecting the safety of Saudi Arabia’s drivers: racism, sexism, and tendency towards violence. It also proposes an assessment to be provided, as a form of an interview, during the process of acquiring a driver’s license which measures the candidate’s psyche towards race and sex, and their inclination towards violence. For the methodology, the research will conduct a survey asking for demographic information (e.g., age group, gender, nationality) as well as specific information regarding the participants’ experiences while driving in Saudi Arabia. The data collected through these surveys will give a much-needed insight into the drivers of Saudi Arabia which will hopefully further more research into the importance of embedding psychology into the methods of making Saudi Arabia a safe place to drive in.
