“…Liao et al (2007) studied continued use of e-services and found that subjective norm affected behavioral intention, which in turn affected actual behaviors 81. Piazza et al (2019) found that subjective norm significantly predicted the intention to use mobile phone while crossing the street 79. Jiang et al (2019) and Holland and Rathod (2013) reported the significant effect of subjective norm on MP use while cycling and driving, respectively 78,82.…”

PurposeThe aims of this study were to examine (a) the effects of parental phubbing on teenagers’ mobile phone dependency and (b) the mediating roles of subjective norm and dependent intention of underlying this relationship.MethodsWe recruited 605 middle school students in Beijing, China and they completed the parental phubbing behaviors, subjective norm, dependency intention, and mobile phone dependency behavior questionnaires.ResultsThe results of the structure equation modeling revealed that parental phubbing behaviors significantly increased teenager’s mobile phone dependency behaviors in two indirect ways. First, parental phubbing reinforced teenagers’ mobile phone dependency intention, which in turn increased the likelihood of mobile phone dependency. Second, parental phubbing enhanced the tendency of parental mobile phone dependence norm perceived by teenagers, and thus reinforced their mobile phone dependency intention, ultimately increasing mobile phone dependency.ConclusionWe concluded that parental phubbing is a significant indicator of teenager mobile phone dependency and that mobile phone dependency intention plays a mediation role between them. In addition, the perceived parental mobile phone dependency norm played a mediation role between parental phubbing and mobile phone dependency intention and indirectly influenced the level of mobile phone dependency behaviors through the mediation effect of mobile phone dependency intention.

“…In this regard, studies have shown that there is a signi cant relationship between safe road crossing behavior and behavioral intention (13,20). Also, Jiang et al (22,23) and Piazza et al (24) showed in their studies that behavioral intention and other constructs of the theory of planned behavior have a signi cant relation with using mobile phones while cycling and crossing the street.…”

Background: Road traffic 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 traffic 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 stratified random sampling method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that was conducted and were confirmed its validity and reliability. Results: Findings from Spearman correlation analysis and multiple regression showed that there is a significant 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 significant the effect of perceived behavioral control (P <0.001) and behavioral intention (P <0.001) on traffic safety behavior. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the theory of planned behavior can be useful in predicting safe traffic behaviors.

“…In addition, as an emerging solution to address the distraction of mobile phone use while walking/crossing, embedded illuminated lights installed in the footpath can effectively attract the attention of distracted pedestrians, then they may play as warning signals for pedestrians distracted by their mobile phones [60]. Second, Piazza et al [61] found that subjective norm (SN) significantly predicted pedestrians' intention to use mobile devices while crossing street, SN being a psychometric construct determined by normative beliefs concerning the expectations of important referents (e.g., friends, family members). Intervention strategies in relation to the effect of SN can focus on how to discourage individuals from using their mobile phone while simultaneously performing traffic tasks.…”

Pedestrian safety is alarming worldwide, and it is well validated that distracted walking/crossing involving mobile phone use would significantly compromise pedestrian safety. Some existing studies demonstrated that distracted pedestrians would spend more time to cross street, miss more safe opportunities to cross and pay less attention to the road environment, etc. As a result, they are more likely to be hit by an oncoming vehicle. Specifically, with respect to the distraction results from mobile phone use for communication in road user groups, previous research has examined the relationship between social networks and mobile phone use among drivers and motorcyclists. However, very little similar research was found in the field of pedestrian study. This study performed an online survey to investigate with whom pedestrians were most likely to communicate with while crossing street in a Chinese sample. The association between social networks and self-reported injury/ near miss event was also examined. To provide an insight into the difference in communication pattern between scenarios, the results were compared with the patterns while driving, motorcycling and the general patterns. Results indicate that pedestrians are most likely to communicate with friends (31.2%), followed by spouses (24.5%). Additionally, participants who frequently talk to parents/children have a greater likelihood of being involved in injury/ near miss events than those talk to the others. Compared with the prevalence of mobile phone use among drivers and motorcyclists reported in previous studies, mobile phone use is more prevalent among pedestrians, especially as they are more likely to communicate with colleagues. In sum, the results demonstrate that social networks play an important role in mobile phone use during street crossing, and pedestrians are more likely to communicate with people who are socially closest to them. The effect of social networks on mobile phone use (especially for communication) among pedestrians should be considered in the development of traffic safety countermeasures.
