Title: | Exploring psychological factors of mobile phone use while riding among motorcyclists in Vietnam | Authors: | NGUYEN, Dinh Vinh Man ROSS, Veerle VU, Anh Tuan BRIJS, Tom WETS, Geert BRIJS, Kris |

Part F, Traffic psychology and behaviour, 73 (F) , p. 292 -306 | Abstract: | Mobile phone use while riding is one of the five most common risky behaviors of motorcycle riders in Vietnam. This study investigated motorcyclist's mobile phone use while riding intention and behavior based on the extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework. Based on this framework, attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control , habits, and health motivation underlying the rider's mobile phone use while riding intentions and behavior were included in a questionnaire and captured by direct and indirect measurements. Small-displacement motorcycle riders (N = 291) completed the extended TPB based questionnaire. An exploratory factor analysis technique identified the selected factors (e.g., attitude, habit, etc.). Moreover, Structural Equation Modeling results showed moderate to good fits to the observed data. Therefore, the results supported the utilization of extended TPB framework in identifying factors of mobile phone use while riding intention and behavior. Specifically, negative attitude, perceived behavioral control, and mobile phone use while riding habit related to the intention to use a mobile phone while riding of small-displacement motorcyclists. Meanwhile, habit and behavioral intention related to the behavior to use a mobile phone while riding of small-displacement motorcycle riders. Especially, the correlation between behavioral intention and self-reported behavior was very strong. This finding embraced previous research indicating that intention was a major motivational component of behavior. Based on the results, safety intervention implications for small-displacement motorcycle riders were discussed. | Keywords: | Mobile phone use;Motorcycle riding;Small-displacement motorcycles;Extended theory of planned behavior;Structural equation modeling | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/31786 | ISSN: | 1369-8478 | e-ISSN: | 1873-5517 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.trf.2020.06.023 | ISI #: | WOS:000569419200022 | Rights: | 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
