EINSTELLUNGEN ZUM SICHERHEITSGURT IM KONTEXT RELEVANTER PERSOENLICHKEITSVARIABLEN

The attitudes of "regular belt use" and "conscious non use of belts", obtained by factor analysis were related to self-interest, fear of death, body pattern, and social-demographic variables. For the male sample there were positive relations between conscious non-use of the belt and social-demographic variables and fear of death, and negative relations between regular belt use and social-demographic and body pattern. In the female sample there were only positive relations between conscious non-use of belts and accidents with fatal outcomes and fear of death. In factor analyses carried out separately according to sex only conscious non-use of belts related significantly to other variables. (TRRL)
