This study focused on comparative judgments about speeding risks among young drivers who have a high risk of being involved in a traffic accident.
We examined (a) how these drivers assess their risk of sanctions and their risk of causing an automobile crash because of speeding in comparison to the estimated risks of other drivers, and (b) how realistic their comparative risk judgments are. We measured the relationship between the drivers' comparative risk judgments, self-reported speeding, and driving-related sensation-seeking. We hypothesized that (a) they would think they have less risk of sanctions and of causing a car accident than others, and (b) their comparative judgments of speeding risks would be linked to self-reported speeding and driving-related sensation-seeking. The study was based on a computerized questionnaire survey conducted with 3,002 young drivers (mean age=22.3) administered by professional investigators.
The results confirmed our hypotheses.
In order to improve the effectiveness of prevention measures and to evaluate the effect of them, road-safety interventions should take into account comparative risk judgments about the targeted risk behavior.
本研究关注的是具有高交通事故风险的年轻驾驶员对超速风险的比较判断。
我们考察了(a)这些驾驶员如何评估自己因超速而受到制裁和发生汽车事故的风险,与他们对其他驾驶员的估计风险相比,以及(b)他们的比较风险判断有多现实。我们测量了驾驶员的比较风险判断、自我报告的超速行为以及与驾驶相关的寻求刺激行为之间的关系。我们假设(a)他们认为自己受到制裁和发生汽车事故的风险比其他人小,以及(b)他们对超速风险的比较判断与自我报告的超速行为和与驾驶相关的寻求刺激行为有关。该研究基于一项由专业调查员进行的、有 3002 名年轻驾驶员(平均年龄为 22.3 岁)参与的计算机化问卷调查。
结果证实了我们的假设。
为了提高预防措施的有效性并评估其效果,道路安全干预措施应考虑针对目标风险行为的比较风险判断。
