Theory of Planned Behavior Application on Motorcycle Rider Safety Behavior
astonjadro, 2021
In Indonesia, the basis for implementing road safety consists of five pillars which are compiled in the General National Road Safety Plan (RUNK). One of the pillars proclaimed is the behavior of safe road users. This aims as an effort to reduce traffic accidents because road users are the biggest factor in road accidents related to user behavior. The cases of road traffic accidents in Indonesia are dominated by motorcyclists, especially Jakarta, which is one of the cities with a fairly high rate of motorcycle accidents. Because the behavior of road users is closely related to traffic accidents, and also motorcyclists are the users who are involved in the highest traffic accidents, this study explains the factors that determine the safety behavior of motorcyclists in Jakarta. The application of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is used as a basis for finding the factors that may determine the behavior of the motorcyclist. Furthermore, the research approach used in this study is qu...

Background: Road tra c injuries are known as one of the leading causes of death of young people in the world. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigating the effective factors on safe tra c behavior of high school students in Hamadan using the theory of planned behavior. Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional-analytical study. The population of this study was all high school male students in Hamadan in the academic year 2020, of which 414 were selected by strati ed random sampling method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that was conducted and were con rmed its validity and reliability. Results: Findings from Spearman correlation analysis and multiple regression showed that there is a signi cant positive relationship between knowledge (p<0.001), attitudes towards behavior (p<0.001), subjective norms (p<0.001) and perceived behavioral control (p<0.001) with students' behavioral intention. Also, was signi cant the effect of perceived behavioral control (P <0.001) and behavioral intention (P <0.001) on tra c safety behavior. Conclusion: Based on the ndings, it can be concluded that the theory of planned behavior can be useful in predicting safe tra c behaviors. Background Despite being predictable and preventable, road tra c injuries (RTI) are considered as one of the most important public health challenges that place heavy economic and social pressures on any community, especially the developing ones (1). In fact, RTI are the most important cause of death in developing countries (2). In this regard, studies indicate that the annual RTI rate in Iran is 34 cases per 100 thousand people, while worldwide, this rate is 18 cases per 100 thousand people (3, 4). In addition, RTI are known as one of the leading causes of death of young people in the world (5). According to studies, RTI account for approximately 35 to 40% of adolescent deaths in Western countries, and high-risk road behaviors among the most important predictors (6). Therefore, according to studies, children and adolescents are the most vulnerable group in the road tra c system and RTI are one of the deadliest and most common types of injuries for them (7). Now, considering the importance of people's behavior in the occurrence of RTI, special attention to the people's behavior, perceptions, attitudes and beliefs about safe tra c behaviors is important, and in the meantime, the theory of planned behavior (TPB) (8) has been used with a wide range of evidence to predict a variety of behaviors, including safe tra c behaviors. The framework of TPB components' relationships according to (8) is shown in Fig. 1. According to the TPB, people's attitudes toward behaviors and their consequences, their subjective norms derived from important patterns of life, and the sense of e ciency and their perceived behavioral control indirectly determine their behavior through behavioral intention. Thus, behavioral intention is the main predictor of behavior (9) and external abnormal norms (e.g., norms promoted in society and pressures from parents, friends, etc.) and internal abnormal norms (e.g., internalized norms), will determine a person's attitude toward behavior and their perceived sense of self-e cacy and control, intentionality, and motivation to engage in behavior. Regarding tra c safety behaviors, it has been shown that a person's knowledge of road safety is an independent protective factor for RTI, and students who have a large number of high-risk tra c behaviors or little knowledge of road safety rules are more affected by the accidents (10). Also, positively perception of the misbehavior (subjective norm) of others and attitudes toward road safety and perception of danger are negatively associated with high-risk road behaviors of children and adolescents (5). Evidence from studies con rms that people who are highly prone to high-risk road behaviors may also have a negative attitude toward tra c safety (11). In addition, it should be noted that when behavior is not fully pre-planned, complementary factors such as a sense of selfe cacy and control over behavior are important to explain the actions observed by road users (5). Considering the above and the usefulness of the theory of planned behavior in explaining and predicting behaviors, this study aims to investigate the relationship between the constructs of the theory of planned behavior and performance of safe tra c behaviors in male high school students of Hamadan city. Method Study design This is a cross-sectional-analytical study. The study population included all male high school students in Hamadan in the academic year 2020; 414 of whom were selected by strati ed random sampling, in such a way that the research community was divided into eight classes based on the two education districts of Hamadan, public and private schools and the rst (seventh, eighth and ninth grade) and second (tenth, eleventh and twelfth) grades of secondary schools. Then, the number of samples for each class was selected according to the number of students in each class of the research community. Entry and exit criteria Students studying in high school, and living in Hamadan were among the entry criteria, and the agreement form was not lled by students and their parents was the criterion for leaving the study.
Driver Behaviour Intention to Speeding at School Zone Based on Theory of Planned Behaviour
Recent Trends in Civil Engineering and Built Environment, 2021
Road safety is an important issue that should be emphasized especially when in the school district as it has a high risk of being involved in serious injuries and fatalities during public conflicts in school and car drivers. This study analyzes the relationship between the variables of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the tendency of car drivers to speed in school zone. A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed randomly to respondents in the study area and observations are conducted to collect were on driver characteristics in the school district at Batu Pahat area but due to pandemic of Covid-19 the observation was conduct by analyse the respondent data given via Online (Google form). The questionnaire consisted of three sections and is based on the TPB model and data was analysed using descriptive, correlation, and regression analysis. From the observation carried out, the majority of drivers who comply with the speed limit drive have any conflicts with other road users, but there are a few near-miss accidents observed involving people under 30 years of age. Beside, data analysis shows that the perceived behavioural control was influence the intention of driver to speed at school zone. Finally, some recommendation suggested to reduce the speeding intention at school zone such as add humps in school areas.
DRIVERS’ ATTITUDE TOWARDS RISK TAKING BEHAVIOUR
Road traffic accident is social and health problem throughout the world. The study is based on attitude of male and female drivers, who have driving license and do not have driving license, and type of vehicles regarding road accidents. Drivers’ attitude is measured towards different factors of risk taking behaviour that are responsible towards road accidents such as traffic rules, distraction and carelessness. Descriptive cum exploratory research design has been used to analysis drivers’ attitude towards risk taking behaviour. A sample of 357 drivers has taken from Panipat district of Haryana in India. Finding of study that observed, there is significant difference between male and female drivers’ attitude regarding traffic rules and carelessness and insignificant regarding distraction. Drivers who have driving license and do not have driving license show insignificant difference regarding traffic rules and distraction, and significant regarding carelessness. Drivers show the differ attitude on the basis of type of vehicles regarding traffic rules, distraction, and carelessness.

Adolescents do not have adequate safe traffic behaviors. This cross-sectional study investigated safe traffic behaviors of 414 male high school students of Hamadan, Iran, randomly selected using the multistage sampling method in 2020. This study used a researchermade questionnaire based on the theory of planned behavior about safe traffic behaviors with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.95, content validity ratio of 0.70, and content validity index of 0.85. There was a strong positive correlation between safe traffic behaviors with perceived behavioral control and intention. Adolescents can be influenced to internalize behavioral safety precursors that can lead to a sustained increase in safe traffic behaviors and the prevention of road traffic injuries.

This study was a part of the main study using an ecological context to develop instruments to measure factors influencing safe motorcycle driving behaviors among Thai adolescents. The study aimed to develop an instrument to specifically measure Thai adolescents' attitudes towards these behaviors. The participants were purposefully recruited from students studying in vocational certificate levels 1-3 from vocational and technical colleges in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The instrument development research design included two phases. The first phase was scale construction. The relevant terms and concepts were clarified and defined based on a literature review. Thirty six items with a 4-point Likert-type scale were generated using data obtained from focus group discussions and the literature. Content validity was assured by six experts. The items' CVI ranged between .83 to 1.00 and the scale's CVI was .90. Then the instrument was critiqued by six students to ensure clarity and readability. After the students' review, the revised scale consisted of 35 items with 6-point Likerttype scale. The second phase was a psychometric properties evaluation using 491 students. The construct validity was evaluated with exploratory factor analysis. Six dimensions were extracted from 25 items. The total explained variance was 58.94%. The scale's alpha coefficient was .89 and for each dimension the coefficient ranged between .72 and .83. These results indicate that the scale is valid and reliable and can be used to assess attitudes towards safe motorcycle driving behaviors among Thai adolescents.

Novice motorists are at high crash risk during the first few months of driving. Risky behaviours such as speeding and driving while distracted are well-documented contributors to crash risk during this period. To reduce this public health burden, effective road safety interventions need to target the pre-driving period. We use the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to identify the pre-driver beliefs underlying intentions to drive over the speed limit (N=77), and while over the legal alcohol limit (N=72), talking on a hand-held mobile phone (N=77) and feeling very tired (N=68). The TPB explained between 41% and 69% of the variance in intentions to perform these behaviours. Attitudes were strong predictors of intentions for all behaviours. Subjective norms and perceived behavioural control were significant, though weaker, independent predictors of speeding and mobile phone use. Behavioural beliefs underlying these attitudes could be separated into those reflecting perceived disadvantag...
Attitudes and behaviors towards risky driving among adolescents in Saudi Arabia
Background and Objectives: The main objective of the paper is to investigate perceptions and attitudes of school youth concerning risky driving behaviors (i.e.: Tafheet) in Sau-di Arabia. Design and Setting: This was a school-based cross-sectional study of adolescents in Riyadh that employed a multistage probability sampling scheme. Subjects and Methods: The self-administered survey included questions adapted from the school-based studies conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States. The survey inquired about adolescents' behaviors and attitudes toward driving, perceptions of school and family, and leisure time activities. Results: Nearly 40% of the students surveyed reported engaging in the risky driving behavior called Tafheet. Fifty-one percent of those who engage in dangerous activities also reported engaging in Tafheet. A higher proportion (70%) among those who believe Tafheet is a talent or a cool activity also engaged in Tafheet. Multivariate analyses indicate that students who are willing to engage in dangerous activities even when they are known to be dangerous (OR Z 2.7; 95% CI Z 1.55e4.72), those who think there is no harm in not wearing seat belts are at higher speeds (OR Z 2.77; 95% CI Z 1.24e6.21), and those who use a mobile telephone while driving are nearly three times (OR Z 2.96; 95% CI Z 1.41e6.23) at risk for engaging in Tafheet. Lack of respect towards traffic laws is also a risk factor. Conclusion: Our study unequivocally points to pro-attitudes and behavior including a daring personality, not wearing a seat belt and using a mobile telephone while driving are significant factors associated with risky driving activity. Our study calls for a strategic intervention plan to
Study of Young Motorcyclists’ Risk Behaviours Towards Road Accidents in Kuantan
International Journal of Humanities Technology and Civilization
In Malaysia, the number of motorcycle-related traffic accidents has gradually climbed over time. Road traffic accidents are typically caused by a combination of individuals and environmental circumstances.Young motorcyclists had significantly over-represented number of deaths in motorcycle road accidents. Many aspects, such as inexperience, lack of riding competence, and risky riding behaviour, have been linked to road traffic crashes among young adults aged 16 to 19 years old. However, less study has been conducted to analyze these young motorcyclists (high school students) riding behaviour. Therefore, this review aims to identify secondary school student’s risk behaviours for road traffic accidents among motorcyclists in Kuantan with young motorcyclists being the main contributor to the road accidents. Most of the youngster use motorcycles as their daily mode of transportation. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional study design and a simple random sampling method. It was cond...
