  • Attitudes and behaviours of school youth regarding traffic safety
    Žlender, Bojan ...
    Starting from the fact that young people are the most trhreatened, and as drivers the most dangerous traffic participants, an attempt was made , to study development of relevant traffic attitudes and ... behaviours during their school years. Along with the general questions concerning attitudes toward traffic safety, some questions were prepared following the line of Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour. They comprised items on behavioural intentions, attitudes, subjective norms and perceived control in three different traffic situations: cycling while intoxicated, use of safety belts, and race on the road with heavy traffic. Relative importance of different factors, ant their change during maturation were analysed, and a model of traffic safety maturation established in rough lines. Special attention was devoted to the different roles of peers and relevant adults, expecting that with age, the influences of peers become more important than the influence of relevant adults. Therefore a representative sample (N=1432) of school youth of various ages (from 9-19 years) and form different regions of Slovenia (rural, urban) was questioned. Respondents of different age and sex differ in their answers mainly in degree and not so in direction. Their evaluations of traffic safety for instance, were similar in belief that it is important and necessary, but boring and unattractive. Similar tendencies appeared regarding other answers. While they estimated, that no one of referent groups would approve of dangerous behaviour, they would mostly comply with the opinions of parents and policemen. Regression and other analysis offered a deeper insight into the results, giving a rather alarming picture of the situation.
