The present study examined the perceptions of cellular phone users and nonusers on issues relating to vehicle control and driver distraction. Participants were asked if they own a cellular phone; if so, how much they use it; and their beliefs regarding cellular phone use while driving, including actions involving the use of cellular phones which could potentially cause vehicular accidents and the need for laws. A total of 330 individuals participated; 72% owned a cellular phone. The results indicate that nonusers of cellular phones believed more strongly than users that cellular phone use while driving negatively affects driving performance and that talking on the cellular phone could potentially cause an accident, and they also had a greater preference for new laws limiting such acts. Cellular phone users, more than nonusers, preferred no laws limiting cellular phone use and believed more strongly that other people driving while using a cellular phone were more dangerous than themselves doing the same. Implications of these results are discussed. Actual or potential applications of this research include interventions that limit driver distractibility.
本研究调查了手机用户和非用户对与车辆控制及驾驶员注意力分散相关问题的看法。参与者被问及是否拥有手机；若有，使用频率如何；以及他们对驾车时使用手机的看法，包括使用手机可能导致车辆事故的行为以及对相关法律的需求。共有330人参与；72%的人拥有手机。结果表明，非手机用户比手机用户更强烈地认为驾车时使用手机会对驾驶性能产生负面影响，且打电话可能引发事故，他们也更倾向于出台新法律限制此类行为。与非用户相比，手机用户更倾向于不限制使用手机的法律，且更坚信其他人驾车时使用手机比自己这样做更危险。文中讨论了这些结果的影响。本研究的实际或潜在应用包括限制驾驶员注意力分散的干预措施。
