The aim of the article is to introduce the issues of responsibility and conscientiousness. Its empirical part focuses on the presentation of the results of comparative studies per-formed among soldiers (n = 62) and civilians (n = 62) with regard to conscientiousness and responsibility. The Sense of Responsibility Scale by Romuald Debris and scales examining conscientiousness from NEO-PI-R questionnaire by Paul Costa and Robert McCrae were used for the study purposes. The results obtained show that, contrary to public opinion, soldiers are not more diligent and responsible than people working in civilian professions. Practical implications were subjected to discussion and further research directions have been proposed.
Objectives. Evidence increases that cognitive failure may be used to screen for drivers at risk. Until now, most studies have relied on driving learners. This exploratory pilot study examines self-report of cognitive failure in driving beginners and error during real driving as observed by driving instructors. Methods. Forty-two driving learners of 14 driving instructors filled out a work-related cognitive failure questionnaire. Driving instructors observed driving errors during the next driving lesson. In multiple linear regression analysis, driving errors were regressed on cognitive failure with the number of driving lessons as an estimator of driving experience controlled. Results. Higher cognitive failure predicted more driving errors (p < .01) when age, gender and driving experience were controlled in analysis. Conclusions. Cognitive failure was significantly associated with observed driving errors. Systematic research on cognitive failure in driving beginners is recommended.
