“…These measures must be adopted by all road users including drivers, motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. In comparison to safe driving behaviours (Shen et al , 2018; Armitage et al , 2022), road safety research has predominantly focused on aberrant driving behaviours among drivers (Mallia et al , 2015; Hussain et al , 2020). Within the Ghanaian context, risky driving such as over-speeding and traffic violations have been identified as major causes of injuries and death of drivers, pedestrians and vehicle occupants (Teye-Kwadjo et al , 2013; Damsere-Derry et al , 2017).…”

Purpose The study aims to examine social-psychological beliefs and personality traits and their linkage with driver predispositions and road safety behaviour grounded on notions derived from an integration of the health belief model (HBM) and the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) in social marketing. Design/methodology/approach The study used a cross-sectional survey to gather data from 587 licenced drivers in 3 major urban settlements in Ghana. The theoretical model was tested by using covariance-based structural equation modelling. Findings The study finds that the effects of perceived benefits, perceived behavioural control, social norms and cues to action on road safety behaviour are direct; the effects of perceived susceptibility, severity and barriers on road safety behaviour are fully mediated by driver attitude towards safe driving. Some of these effects were moderated by conscientiousness and neuroticism. Practical implications The findings offer empirical grounds for the development of evidence-based social marketing interventions that leverage efficacy-centred messages, social influence through community-based approaches, informational cues with consistent education and are tailored to the personality traits of drivers with the aim of inducing wilful on-road safety behaviour towards achieving sustainable road safety culture. Originality/value This study extends the integrative applicability of the HBM and TPB in understanding road safety behaviour and establishes attitude as a vital facilitator, and personality traits as moderators of the belief-preventive behaviour linkage within a developing country context. It contributes towards the use of theory-based outcomes to enhance the efficacy of social marketing road safety campaigns.

“…There is a growing body of research analyzing differences in road user attitudes, perceptions, and behavior across cultures, comparing Global North and Global South countries (43)(44)(45)(46). Studies emphasize that 93% of deaths occur in low-and middle-income countries (4).…”

This study examines the effect of culture on gender differences in road user risky behaviors. With the hypothesis that gender differences are not solely because of biological factors, and that the existence and magnitude of differences between gender groups vary according to cultural context, because of differentiated social expectations in relation to gender roles, a secondary analysis was made of the E-Survey of Road Users’ Attitudes (ESRA) 2018 database, comprising 25,459 car drivers (53% male) surveyed by an online questionnaire in 32 countries distributed in eight cultural clusters. The interactions between gender and culture in reported behavior, and personal and social acceptability of four violations were analyzed: drinking and driving, speeding, not wearing a seatbelt, and the use of a cellphone while driving. The results show significant gender differences on risky behaviors and attitudes and complex interactions between gender and culture, with men valuing crash-risk behaviors more than women do in all cultural clusters observed. Interactions between gender and culture are more frequent on declared behaviors and personal acceptability than on perceived social acceptability, and on drinking and driving, and not wearing a seatbelt, more than on speeding and the use of a cellphone while driving. In addition, gender differences are greater in Western countries than in the Global South. These gender differences in road user behaviors, attitudes, and perceptions as results of an interaction between biological and evolutionary factors and cultural and social factors are discussed. These results could be useful to better tailor road safety campaigns and education.

“…Behavior-related research is not only related to norms, but is also often associated with the personality of the driver himself, including Ge et al [8], Haustein et al [24], and Xu et al, [25]; which measures driver personality using the Big Five Inventory (BFI) personality traits and the HEXACO personality inventory. Furthermore, the applicability and reliability of the BFI personality traits has been proven [26]. Therefore, this research will also integrate BFI personality traits.…”

“…This is done to ensure the quality of the data obtained, because the more questions in a questionnaire, the lower the quality of the data obtained from the respondents. Studies using BFI-10 include Hussain et al [26], Park et al [27], and Rammstedt and John [28]. Research related to behavior is also related to the perspective of time, including Fekih-Romdhane et al [29], Kocayoruk and Simsek [30], Košťál et al [31], Linkov et al [32], Orosz et al [33], Peng et al [34], Sircova et al [35], Temple et al [36], and Lemarié et al [37]; which measures a person's time perspective, including using the Adolescent Time Attitude Scale (ATAS) and the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI).…”

The number of traffic accidents per year increases in proportion to the number of drivers. The higher traffic accident in particular on highways is due to speeding behavior. Traffic accidents are caused by the environment, the vehicle, and the driver factors. The purpose of this study is to incorporate driver personality, time perspective, and applicable norms, on the speeding behavior model and design proposals for intervention policies, and improve current policies on driving behavior to maintain and increase safety driving the highways speed limit. Personality (BFI-10) was incorporated into the model to investigate which personality types that often speed, time perspective (ZTPI-18) was use to understand the current driver behavior from past experience and the driver will likely take in future, while the theory of normative social behavior (TNSB) was incorporated to enhance the theory of planned behavior (TPB) model used in previous studies. The method used in this paper is the PRISMA framework. Result of this study is a conceptual model that incorporates variables of TPB, TNSB, BFI-10 personality inventory, and ZTPI-18 and consists of 23 variables. Further study will be conducted to prove the conceptual model by using the method of self-report questionnaires, field observations, and driving simulations.
