| Objective: The aim of this research was to study the prediction of accident proneness using sensitivity to reward and sensitivity to punishment with the meditative role of impulsivity and attention deficit. Methods: In this correlational study, all elementary students of Tabriz City in the 2018-2019 education year constituted the research population, of which 150 students were chosen as a sample using random multistage cluster sampling model. Data were collected using Minor Injury Severity Scale (MISS), Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART), and Continuous Performance Test (CPT) tools. Path analysis was employed in order to analyze the data. Results: It was found that the direct effect of sensitivity to reward on accident proneness was (β = 0.27, p <0.01) and sensitivity to punishment on accident proneness was (β = 0.01, p <0.01). Also impulsivity on accident proneness was (β = 0.42, p <0.01) and inattention on accident proneness was (β = 0.39, p <0.01). In addition, sensitivity to reward indirectly had a positive and significant relationship with accident proneness with the mediator role of impulsivity with the impact factor of 0.17 , and inattention with the impact factor of 0.16 .Sensitivity to punishment indirectly had a negative and significant relationship with accident proneness with the mediator role of impulsivity (-0.14) and attention deficit with the impact factor of (-0.16). Conclusion: Accident proneness can be predicted by sensitivity to reward and punishment with the mediating role of impulsivity and inattention. This result can be applied in prediction and rehabilitation programs for reducing children’s injuries in the target group. |
