Despite the effectiveness of seat belt use and legislation, seat belt use rate is low in Turkey. The aim of this study was to investigate the motives to use and not to use a seat belt in different traveling conditions in a sample of car drivers and passengers. Interviews were made face to face with 221 interviewees from different age and occupation groups. Frequently reported reasons for using a seat belt were traveling conditions, safety, situational conditions, habit of using a seat belt, and avoiding punishment. Frequently reported reasons for not using a seat belt were situational conditions, not believing in the effectiveness, discomfort and having no habit. Safety was the strongest predictor of reported seat belt use in both low and high risk traveling conditions. Findings suggest that seat belt campaigns should mainly emphasize seat belt's safety impact and aim at habit formation.
尽管安全带的使用和相关立法具有有效性，但土耳其的安全带使用率较低。本研究的目的是在汽车驾驶员和乘客样本中，调查在不同出行条件下使用和不使用安全带的动机。对来自不同年龄和职业群体的221名受访者进行了面对面访谈。使用安全带的常见原因有出行条件、安全、情境条件、使用安全带的习惯以及避免处罚。不使用安全带的常见原因有情境条件、不相信其有效性、不适以及没有习惯。在低风险和高风险出行条件下，安全都是报告的安全带使用情况的最强预测因素。研究结果表明，安全带宣传活动应主要强调安全带对安全的影响，并旨在形成使用习惯。
