Sociodemographic factors associated with driving styles are demographic characteristics that influence how people drive. In order to determine their association, the empirical research was conceived under the quantitative paradigm, non-experimental design where driving styles were evaluated in a sample of 349 drivers in Metropolitan Lima and Callao, using the multidimensional inventory to collect the information. The results showed that the Prudent style is predominant with 88% of the total sample, followed by the Dissociative style with 4.6% and 7.4% were distributed among the other four styles evaluated by the instrument. In addition, the EoC has been compared with the sociodemographic variables, among the most outstanding results it can be observed that women do not present the driving style Stress Management, in contrast, men perceive themselves as having a Risky, Dissociative, Aggressive and Anxious style (1.7%, 4.3%, 2.3% and 2.0% respectively). Finally, the association between driving styles and the variables: sex, place of origin, age range, educational level and type of driving use was sought; only a significant association was found (with a Chi-square value of 62.215 and a p-value of 0.000) between place of origin and EoC. It is concluded that the most risky driving styles, such as aggressive, dissociative and anxious, are less frequent, but are associated with factors such as stress, impulsivity and lack of emotional regulation.
