Los accidentes de tráfico comprenden una de las principales causas de mortalidad y daños económicos a nivel mundial. La conducción es una conducta compleja influenciada por factores cognitivos y conductuales que desempeñan un papel significativo en la ocurrencia de accidentes e infracciones, a menudo debidos a conductas de riesgo. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la relación entre las dimensiones de atribución causal (locus de control, controlabilidad y estabilidad) y las conductas aberrantes (violaciones, violaciones agresivas, errores y lapsus) en la conducción. Para ello, una muestra de 42 conductores (13 hombres y 28 mujeres) completó una serie de medidas autoinformadas. Los resultados revelaron una asociación positiva entre el locus de control interno y la estabilidad con una mayor prevalencia de conductas agresivas. Asimismo, se encontró una asociación negativa entre la percepción de controlabilidad y las conductas de riesgo, sugiriendo que una mayor percepción de control disminuye la probabilidad de presentar conductas de riesgo. Estos hallazgos subrayan el papel de los estilos atribucionales en la predicción de comportamientos de riesgo en la conducción, lo cual tiene importantes implicaciones para la promoción de la seguridad vial y el diseño de intervenciones preventivas.
