Carelessness refers to the lack of awareness during a behaviour that can result in unintended consequences. The consequences of carelessness are often undesirable and tend to be mistakes. A lack of concern or an indifference for the consequences of the action due to inattention may be involved in the origin of carelessness. Carelessness has been hypothesized to be one possible cause of accident-proneness.
