在坠机事件的文献中，通常假设档案和其他“客观”标准数据优于坠机事件的自我报告。以394名参与者(平均年龄为36.23岁)为研究对象，本研究评估了机动车碰撞相关和交通违章行为的档案和自我报告测量的一致性。我们还试图确定预测者/标准关系是否会随着标准类型(即档案和自我报告)的不同而变化，以及这两个标准的组合是否会比任何一个标准本身产生更好的预测。这两个标准来源之间的一致性程度很低，参与者自我报告的撞车事故和罚单比他们的州记录中发现的更多。两种标准类型的预测因子/标准关系也不同；自我报告数据的影响更大。将这两个标准结合起来，并不会产生比单独进行自我报告所获得的关系更牢固的关系。我们的发现表明，自我报告数据本身并不比档案数据差，而且这两种数据来源不能互换使用。实际或潜在的应用包括选择适当的标准来使用，正如这项研究的结果所揭示的那样，这可能取决于调查的目的。
In the crash involvement literature, it is generally assumed that archival and other "objective" criterion data are superior to self-reports of crash involvement. Using 394 participants (mean age = 36.23 years), the present study assessed the convergence of archival and self-report measures of motor vehicle crash involvement and moving violations. We also sought to determine whether predictor/criterion relationships would vary as a function of criterion type (i.e., archival vs, self-report), and if a combination of both criteria would result in better prediction than would either by itself. The degree of agreement between the two criterion sources was low, with participants self-reporting more crashes and tickets than were found in their state records. Different predictor/criterion relationships were also found for the two criterion types; stronger effects were obtained for self-report data. Combining the two criteria did not result in relationships stronger than those obtained for self-reports alone. Our findings suggest that self-report data are not inherently inferior to archival data and, furthermore, that the two sources of data cannot be used interchangeably. Actual or potential applications include choosing the appropriate criterion to use, which, as the finding of this study reveals, may depend on the purpose of the investigation.
