This study compared pedestrian behaviors in five countries (Estonia, Greece, Kosovo, Russia, and Turkey) and investigated the relationships between these behaviors and values in each country. The study participants were 131 pedestrians for Estonia, 249 for Greece, 112 for Kosovo, 176 for Russia, and 145 for Turkey. The principal component analyses revealed that the four-factor structure of the Pedestrian Behavior Scale (PBS) was highly consistent across the five countries. ANCOVA results revealed significant differences between countries on the PBS items and scale scores. Specifically, Greek and Turkish participants reported transgressive pedestrian behaviors more frequently than Estonian, Kosovar, and Russian pedestrians while Kosovar participants reported transgressive pedestrian behaviors less frequently than Estonian pedestrians. In addition, Turkish and Russian pedestrians reported lapses and aggressive behaviors more frequently than Estonian, Greek, and Kosovar pedestrians. Finally, Turkish and Estonian pedestrians reported positive behaviors more frequently than Kosovar pedestrians. Unexpectedly, the regression analyses showed that values have varying effects on pedestrian behavior in the five countries. That is, context or country may determine the effect of values on pedestrian behaviors. The results are discussed in relation to the previous literature.
本研究比较了五个国家（爱沙尼亚、希腊、科索沃、俄罗斯和土耳其）的行人行为，并调查了这些行为与每个国家价值观之间的关系。研究参与者包括爱沙尼亚的 131 名行人、希腊的 249 名行人、科索沃的 112 名行人、俄罗斯的 176 名行人和土耳其的 145 名行人。主成分分析结果表明，行人行为量表（PBS）的四因素结构在五个国家高度一致。ANCOVA 结果显示，行人行为量表项目和量表得分在国家之间存在显著差异。具体而言，希腊和土耳其的参与者比爱沙尼亚、科索沃和俄罗斯的行人更频繁地报告违反规则的行人行为，而科索沃的参与者比爱沙尼亚的行人更不频繁地报告违反规则的行人行为。此外，土耳其和俄罗斯的行人比爱沙尼亚、希腊和科索沃的行人更频繁地报告疏忽和攻击行为。最后，土耳其和爱沙尼亚的行人比科索沃的行人更频繁地报告积极的行为。出乎意料的是，回归分析显示，价值观对五个国家的行人行为有不同的影响。也就是说，背景或国家可能会决定价值观对行人行为的影响。研究结果与以往文献进行了讨论。
