Comparison of Health Behaviors of Healthcare Workers and the General Public in Israel
Healthcare workers (HCWs) are role models and advisors for promoting health behaviors among their patients. We conducted a cross-sectional survey to identify and compare the health behaviors of 105 HCWs and 82 members of the Israeli public. Of 13 health behaviors examined, undergoing screening tests, getting influenza vaccines and smoking were significantly different between the HCWs and the public. Further comparison between physicians and other…
Job-field underemployment and its impact on the demand for higher education at the Israeli labor market
This article explored the impact of the match between Israeli academics’ educational field and occupational field (job-field underemployment) on their decision-making regarding acquiring further academic degree. It found a greater willingness for further higher education acquirement among those whose educational and occupational fields are matched. The article’s unique contribution lies in showing job-field underemployment to be a very significan…
Group size and agency level as predictors of social preference in organizations
Purpose: The study examines the impact of agency level on social preferences among individuals and groups in an organization. Settings in which people determine the outcomes for themselves and for others are considered “high agency” while settings in which people cannot affect the outcomes but can only judge them are considered “low agency.”Methods: The experiment involves team meetings and includes 240 employees and managers of the company who b…
Attitudes, Behavioral Intentions, and Risk Perceptions of Fatigued Pedestrians
We used the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991) to examine pedestrians' attitudes, behavioral intentions, and risk perceptions in relation to the possibility of sustaining an injury while crossing the road while in a fatigued compared to a nonfatigued state. Participants were 205 students who were randomly selected and divided into 2 groups. One group completed an attitudinal questionnaire about crossing the road in a fatigued state, a quest…
Self-concept and dangerous driving proclivity in male and female Israeli drivers
The aim of this paper was to see whether there is an association between drivers' self-concept, gender, and proclivity for dangerous driving. Participants' self-concept was measured using the brief Hebrew version of the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (TSCS; Fitts, 1965). Tendency to commit traffic violations and to engage in dangerous driving was assessed using the Dangerous Driving Questionnaire (DDQ; Berger, 1995). The regression analysis showed …
Sensation Seeking and Pedestrian Crossing Compliance
Seventy-nine students were stopped by researchers after crossing a pedestrian crossing when the light was either green or red in conjunction with 4 different conditions: with or without the presence of a policeman and hurrying or not hurrying. Later, these participants were administered the Sensation Seeking Scale V (SSS; Zuckerman, 1994). No difference was found in the rate of pedestrians crossing against the red light either with or without the…
Risk Evaluation and Risky Behavior of High and Low Sensation Seekers
This study was aimed at achieving a better understanding of the role of the mediation of risk valuation between personality and risk-taking behavior. A sample of 55 females and 20 males completed the Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS) and self-report inventory of risk-taking in one session and a risk evaluation inventory in another session. The results show a positive correlation between risk taking and sensation seeking and a negative correlation bet…
