Our project aimed to analyze the distracted driver behavior of young adults in Morocco and discover how interactive models like virtual reality (VR) can impact an individual’s control beliefs about texting and driving. We created and conducted a pre-assessment, VR simulation, and summative survey with Ph.D. students at the International University of Rabat (UIR). Following quantitative and qualitative analyses, a series of recommendations was delivered to educational institutions, traffic safety authorities, and technology experts.
