“…However, as both the United Kingdom and New Zealand are English speaking countries with relatively similar cultures, Sullman and Mann (2009) recommended research be conducted in a more culturally different, non-English speaking country. This was attempted in a recent study using students from Spain, where over 2000 Spanish school students completed the ARBQ (Sullman, Gras, Font-Mayolas, Masferrer, Cunill & Planes, 2011). Confirmatory Factor Analysis found that although the long version of the scale did not adequately describe the data, the short version provided an adequate fit for the three factor model.…”

The present study aimed to investigate both the on road behaviour of Belgian school students and the validity of the Adolescent Road User Behaviour Questionnaire (ARBQ) in a sample of students attending school in Belgium. In total, 294 adolescents completed the ARBQ along with measures of their self-reported accident involvement and sensation seeking behaviour. Confirmatory Factor Analysis supported the original factor structure of: "unsafe road crossing", "playing on the road" and "planned protective behaviour" for the 21-item version of the questionnaire, but not for the full scale. Males were found to engage more often in unsafe crossing behaviour and playing on the roads. There were also age differences, with unsafe road crossing increasing with age and engagement in planned protective behaviours improving with age. Those who reported being involved in an accident also reported more frequent engagement in unsafe crossing, playing on the roads, thrill seeking behaviour and lower levels of behaviour inhibition. Therefore, this study confirms that the ARBQ is a useful tool for investigating safety-related behaviours that contribute to accident involvement.

“…La manutención de estas acciones como patrón de hábitos comportamentales puede ser considerada como una habituación a conductas de riesgo. Ahora, sin embargo, con la progresiva pérdida de reflejos, aumento del tiempo de reacción, sumado a una mayor vulnerabilidad física, les hace quedar más expuestos a ser víctimas de accidentes que antes y con consecuencias de mayor daño por su edad (Sullman et al, 2011).…”

“…Así, si se tratara de hacer campañas para peatones para corregir errores y lapsus al transitar, éstas podrían ser sexualmente indiferenciadas, en cambio si se trata de buscar inhibir comportamientos transgresores, éstas debieran focalizarse en hombres. Estos resultados guardan relación con la conducta peatonal diferenciada que tienen las personas en general (Granié, 2009;Sullman et al, 2011;Tom y Granié, 2011). En Chile los peatones 'puros' (no choferes) cometen más errores al transitar que los choferes y así, además de ser tipificados como 'víctimas' o 'grupo vulnerable' -lo que es habitual a los choferes en nuestros países-, ellos debieran ser re-tipificados en su rol en los accidentes de tránsito como participantes activos en la producción de éstos.…”

ResumenLos peatones son causantes y víctimas de accidentes de tránsito en el mundo y muy especialmente en América latina. Un modelo de comportamiento riesgoso en conductores es aplicado a peatones en dos países del Cono Sur de América: Brasil con la mayor tasa de mortalidad por accidentes de tránsito, y Chile, la menor. Una muestra accidental -463 participantes, 223 chilenos y 240 brasileros, de 17 a 40 años de edad-respondió la Escala de Comportamiento Peatonal controlándose sexo, edad, licencia de conducir y participación en accidentes de tránsito. Contribuyendo a explicar la contrastante mortalidad, los chilenos realizan significativamente menos transgresiones, ligeramente menos errores y lapsus al transitar por la ciudad, que los brasileños. Los hombres de ambos países son más transgresores que las mujeres. Se discute la utilidad del modelo utilizado y de los resultados, entregándose algunas recomendaciones para la salud pública en este ámbito. Palabras clave: comportamiento peatonal, transgresión y salud pública. AbstractPedestrians are causative and victims of traffic accidents in the world and very especially in Latin America. A model originally built for drivers risk behavior is applied to pedestrians in two contrasting countries in the Southern Cone of America: Brazil has the highest mortality rate for traffic accidents and Chile the lowest. An accidental sample -463 participants, 223 Chileans and 240 Brazilians of 17 to 40 years of age-, answered an instrument containing the scale of pedestrian behavior (ECP, 1999) and information relating to sex, age, licensed drivers and participation in traffic accidents was collected. Contributing to explain the contrasting mortality, Chileans reported to perform significantly less pedestrian's transgressions, fewer errors and lapses than Brazilian pedestrians. Men in both countries are more transgressors than women. We discuss the utility Correspondencia:

“…Efforts that have used qualitative methods are beginning to yield comprehensive information in regards to how pedestrians navigate pedestrian systems. Among the most successful strategies are surveys, such as the one in [13], field studies, such as the one in [14], [15], [16], and [17]. In addition, some of these efforts have given us methodologies to develop surveys and field studies protocols, such as [18] and [19].…”

Abstract-Designing pedestrian systems have been a challenge due to the lack of effective tools and methods to model the autonomous behavior of pedestrians. Pedestrians are one of the main players in traffic systems, and they also are their most common victims. The high incident of pedestrians' accidents has led the World Health Organization (WHO) to set the reduction of traffic accidents as a priority for developing countries.
