RESEARCH MATTERS:

Recent graduate Erik Nelson, a cognitive psychology major, conducted research into why people engage in dangerous, behavior such as talking on a cell phone or sending text messages while driving. Every respondent in Nelson's survey admitted to driving while talking on a cell phone, and 72 percent admitted to sending text messages while driving. "Many people understand that talking while driving is a risky behavior. However, they still do it," Nelson said. "People tend to believe that their conversations are a little more important than they are." For more, or to listen to the original broadcast, visit www.researchmatters.ku.edu.
