Friday night Sport Talk - 5.30 - 6pm 28th November 2014
Dr Bridie Scott-Parker
As a recent recipient of a highly competitive National Health and Medical Research Council Fellowship, Dr Bridie Scott-Parker is considered an expert in the domain of young novice driver road safety. This award recognises the significance of her research interests—Emotions, situation awareness and the risky driving behaviour of young novice drivers.
Bridie's doctoral dissertation 'A comprehensive investigation of the risky driving behaviour of young novice drivers' comprised 11 peer-reviewed publications on such topics such as measuring the risky behaviour of young novice drivers; and the role of sensation seeking, reward and punishment sensitivity, anxiety and depression in the risky behaviour of young novice drivers as well as the impact of changes to Queensland’s graduated driver licensing program;
Bridie is interested in a safe systems approach to young driver road safety, intervention development and evaluation, with a particular focus upon the development of the driver from the pre-licence period, through the Learner and Provisional 1 driving phases. She is also interested in adolescent risk taking, and the influence of personal, social (parents, peers), and structural (legislation, police) influences upon risky behaviour.
Please come and hear Bridie's engaging presentation this Friday (28th November 2014) from 5.30pm - 6pm in the recreation room at the USC Sports Stadium.
