S Perrissol et al., « Effect of a Road Safety Training Program on Drivers' Comparative Optimism », Serveur académique Lausannois, ID : 10.1016/j.aap.2010.08.023
Reducing comparative optimism regarding risk perceptions in traffic accidents has been proven to be particularly difficult (Delhomme, 2000). This is unfortunate because comparative optimism is assumed to impede preventive action. The present study tested whether a road safety training course could reduce drivers' comparative optimism in high control situations. Results show that the training course efficiently reduced comparative optimism in high control, but not in low control situations. Mechanisms underlying this finding and implications for the design of road safety training courses are discussed.
