Risk-based regulation of healthcare professionals
One of the key drivers of regulatory reform is minimising the risks associated with healthcare. In order to achieve this, there is a need for the regulatory bodies to have a clear understanding of what comprises risk in the professions under their remit. The current paper examines ways in which risk could be conceptualised, assessed and managed in one of these professions: pharmacy. The authors review studies in healthcare management, safety scie…
Application of the theory of planned behaviour to the prediction of objectively assessed breaking of posted speed limits
In two studies the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) including moral norms, anticipated regret and past behaviour was applied to predicting intention to exceed the posted speed limit across different roads and objectively assessed speeding behaviour. All measures except behaviour were taken by self-report questionnaires referring to different driving scenarios. The behaviour measures were based on performance in a simulator (Study 1) or unobtrusi…
Confidence and the older driver
A sample of 555 drivers aged 50 or more were assessed in terms of their confidence in a range of driving situations, self-ratings of their driving ability, self-reported driving behaviour, and personality as measured by Eysenck's EPQ. Levels of nervousness when driving were surprisingly low, although there was no evidence of unrealistic self-ratings of driving ability. Female drivers reported significantly fewer errors and intentional violations …

Self-reported Attitude Towards Speeding and Its Possible Consequences in Five Different Road Contexts
Driving above the permitted speed limit is a common violation on the roads of Great Britain. Moreover, speeding is associated with negative consequences in the form of damage, injury and fatal road traffic accidents. The aim of this study was to assess, by means of self-report, the prevalence of this social problem across five different contexts: a residential road, a busy shopping street, a dual carriageway, a winding country road, and a motorwa…
Predicting road traffic accidents
A study by West, Elander & French (1993 a ) examining the relationship between mild social deviance and accident rates on the road was extended and replicated. West et al. (1993 a ) report that the relationship between mild social deviance and accident rates was partly mediated by faster driving speed. The aim of the present research was to determine whether a broader measure of road traffic violations would fully mediate the relationship between…
Extending the theory of planned behaviour
This study assesses the sufficiency of Ajzen's (1985) theory of planned behaviour in predicting intentions to commit each of three driving violations involving poor lane discipline: cutting across traffic to leave a motorway; weaving in and out of two lanes of slow‐moving traffic; and overtaking on the inside. Behavioural intention was predicted reasonably well by the three main constructs of the theory of planned behaviour. However, the addition…
Evaluating and Extending the Theory of Planned Behaviour
In this chapter we consider recent theoretical and empirical developments relevant to the theory of planned behaviour, drawing in particular on our own research in the domain of driver behaviour. The issues we focus on are the measurement of perceived control, and in particular the development of a ‘belief-based’ measure of perceived control; the more general issue of ‘direct’ versus ‘belief-based’ measures of constructs within the theory of plan…
Social facilitation and driver behaviour
Audience effects on individual behaviour have often been interpreted in terms of increased arousal, which in turn enhances the emission of dominant responses. However, such drive‐based explanations do not readily fit all of the evidence on audience effects. The present study examined the influence on driver behaviour of the presence of a passenger. The main findings were that the incidence of both signalling and speeding appeared to be reduced by…
