Bicyclist safety is a growing concern as more adults use this form of transportation for recreation, exercise, and mobility. Most bicyclist fatalities result from a crash with a vehicle. Often, the behaviors of the driver are responsible for the crash.
This survey study of Montana and North Dakota residents (n = 938) examined the influence of traffic safety culture on driver behaviors that affect safe interactions with bicyclists.
Prosocial driver behavior was most common and appeared to be intentional. Intention was increased by positive attitudes, normative perceptions, and perceived control. However, normative perceptions appear to offer the most opportunity for change. Practical Application: Strategies that increase perceptions that prosocial driver behavior is normal may increase prosocial intentions, thereby increasing bicyclist safety.
随着越来越多的成年人将自行车作为娱乐、锻炼和出行方式,自行车手的安全问题日益受到关注。大多数自行车手的死亡是由于与车辆发生碰撞造成的。通常,司机的行为是导致事故的原因。
本研究对蒙大拿州和北达科他州的居民(n=938)进行了一项调查,调查了交通安全文化对影响与自行车手安全互动的司机行为的影响。
亲社会驾驶行为最为常见,且似乎是有意为之。积极的态度、规范的认知和感知的控制增加了亲社会行为的意图。然而,规范的认知似乎提供了最多的改变机会。
增加对亲社会驾驶行为正常的认知的策略可能会增加亲社会的意图,从而提高自行车手的安全性。
