A survey of 1063 individuals found that when belief in destiny was statistically controlled, differences in seat belt use by race disappeared. Thus, racial differences in seat belt use are statistically accounted for and might be explained by belief in destiny. Efforts to increase seat belt use should target minority groups rather than include them in broadbrush programs. Further, these efforts should take into account this important difference in motivation.
一项针对1063人的调查发现，在对命运信念进行统计控制后，不同种族在安全带使用上的差异消失了。因此，安全带使用方面的种族差异在统计学上是可以解释的，并且可能是由对命运的信念所导致的。提高安全带使用率的努力应该针对少数群体，而不是将他们纳入笼统的项目中。此外，这些努力应该考虑到动机上的这一重要差异。
