This study sought to identify attitudes toward belt use in the rear seat and to gain insight into the experiences of rear-seat passengers.
A telephone survey conducted between June and August 2016 targeted adult passengers who had recently ridden in the rear and who did not always wear their seat belt when doing so. Respondents were questioned regarding their reasons for not buckling up and possible conditions under which they would be more likely to buckle up during rear-seat travel.
Of 1163 recent rear-seat passengers, 72% reported always using their seat belt in the rear. Full-time belt use was lower among passengers who primarily travel in the rear of hired vehicles compared with personal vehicles. The most common explanation for not buckling up was that the back seat is safer than the front. Four out of five agreed they do not buckle up because of type of trip; two-thirds forget or do not see the need; and two-thirds agreed with reasons related to design, comfort, or usability issues. Nearly 40% agreed that they sometimes do not buckle up in the rear because there is no law requiring it.
Many reasons for not using belts in the rear are similar to reasons in the front, such as forgetfulness, inconvenience, or discomfort. One difference is that many rear-seat passengers perceive using the belt is unnecessary because the back seat is safer than the front. More than half of part-time belt users and nonusers reported interventions such as rear seat belt reminders, stronger belt-use laws, and more comfortable belts would make them more likely to use their seat belt in the rear seat. Practical applications: This study identifies barriers to rear seat belt use that point to the need for a multi-faceted approach to increase belt use.
本研究旨在确定人们对后排座椅安全带使用的态度，并深入了解后排乘客的体验。
2016 年 6 月至 8 月期间进行了一项电话调查，调查对象为最近在后排乘车且并非总是在后座系安全带的成年乘客。受访者被问及不系安全带的原因，以及在哪些情况下他们在后座乘车时更有可能系安全带。
在 1163 名最近乘坐过后排座椅的乘客中，72%的人表示在后座总是系安全带。与乘坐个人车辆相比，主要乘坐租用车辆后排座椅的乘客更有可能不系安全带。不系安全带的最常见解释是认为后排座椅比前排座椅更安全。五分之四的人表示他们不系安全带是因为旅行类型；三分之二的人表示忘记或觉得没有必要；三分之二的人表示他们同意与设计、舒适度或可用性问题有关的原因。近 40%的人表示，他们有时不系安全带是因为后排没有法律要求。
不系安全带的许多原因与前排座椅相同，例如健忘、不便或不适。一个区别是，许多后排座椅乘客认为使用安全带是不必要的，因为后排座椅比前排座椅更安全。超过一半的兼职安全带使用者和非使用者表示，干预措施，如后排安全带提醒、更严格的安全带使用法律和更舒适的安全带，将使他们更有可能在后座使用安全带。实际应用：本研究确定了阻碍后排座椅安全带使用的因素，这些因素表明需要采取多方面的方法来增加安全带的使用。
