Study Notes
Theory of Planned Behaviour and Safety Culture in Traffic Safety
- The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) suggests that intentions are determined by personal attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control.
- Personal attitudes encompass individual beliefs, both positive and negative, regarding a specific behavior, such as smoking.
- Subjective norms refer to an individual's perception of others' attitudes towards a behavior, like family and friends' opinions on smoking.
- Perceived behavioral control depends on an individual's belief in their ability to control their behavior, which affects both intention and behavior directly.
- Perceived behavioral control aligns with Bandura's concept of perceived self-efficacy.
- The TPB can be applied to various scenarios, such as university students' intention to use public transportation or citizens' intention to participate in recycling programs.
- Safety culture, linked to the pursuit of safety within an organization, emerged after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster and is different from safety climate, which can be seen as manifestations of safety culture.
- Safety culture is expressed through safety climate and is often measured by Safety Climate Questionnaires (SCQs).
- The concept of safety culture has potential for improving traffic safety, especially when applied to local communities, nations, or peer groups.
- Studies of organizational safety culture and safety climate among professional drivers in road transport often combine SCQs with questionnaires measuring self-reported driving behaviors and attitudes towards traffic safety interventions.
- The American Automobile Association (AAA) conducts annual public surveys, known as the "Traffic Safety Culture Index," to measure knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors relevant to traffic safety.
- National focus on individual freedom versus paternalistic values is a fundamental theme that defines the status of traffic safety in different countries.
Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)
- TPB involves defining the behavior by target, action, context, and time elements (e.g., exercising for 20 min, 3 times per week, for 3 months)
- The TPB constructs include attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention, each assessed using 7-point bipolar adjective scales
- TPB has applications in predicting pedestrians’ road crossing intention, motorcyclists’ intention to ride above the speed, and the effectiveness of pre-driver education on road safety beliefs
- Pre-driver education in the UK aimed to improve attitudes to road safety in 15-16-year-old students from 12 schools, with small short-term improvements in some beliefs but no effect on others
- Pedestrians’ road crossing intention was predicted using scenarios and measures of attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, self-identity, and intention, with perceived behavioral control emerging as the strongest predictor
- TPB has limitations including the assumption that the person has acquired opportunities and resources and the lack of consideration for fear, threat, mood, past experience, environmental or economic factors, and the time frame between intention and behavioral action
- The TPB is a cognitive theory proposed by Azjen in 1985, suggesting that an individual’s decision to engage in a specific behavior can be predicted by their intention to engage in that behavior
