“…However, the latter model's focus on behaviour being seen as the outcome of behavioural intentions that are determined by attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control-may be strongly undermined by contextual factors and habit (Pronello and Camusso 2011). Indeed, there is now ample evidence to suggest that modal choice is largely not a rational process (Innocenti et al 2013;Lois and López-Sáez 2009;Steg 2005;Thomas 2014). Ajzen (2015) himself noted that behavioural, normative and control beliefs may be based on invalid or selective information.…”

Travel behaviour market segmentations have become a popular method of identifying different types of car users, bicyclists or public transport users. However, while previous studies have looked at different types of users within single modes, such as the car, little research has explored the existence of traveller types transcending modes. The study presented here is an extension of an earlier segmentation study that distinguished travellers based on their individual preferences, yet did so independent of their current mode choice. The data came from a travel survey at a middle-sized UK university and were analysed using a combination of hierarchical and iterative partitioning methods. Crucially, however, the current study uses a different theoretical framework to previous segmentation research-goal framing theory-which may more adequately explain the findings than models used in the past such as the theory of planned behaviour. The findings supported earlier work, suggesting the presence of seemingly stable traveller types that cut across modes and can be distinguished based on gain, hedonic and normative goals. This has important implications for policies aimed at encouraging mode change which may have been too preoccupied with changing people's attitudes rather than paying attention to people's underlying travel preferences.

“…As a result this may reduce the desire to drive, therefore reducing the mobility and independence of the driver (Taylor, Alpass, Stephens & Towers, 2011). In normal populations people prefer driving to public transport regardless of financial cost (Innocenti, Lattarulo & Pazienza, 2013), possibly due to a need to maintain a high level of social and psychological well-being studies provide little or conflicting evidence to support the idea that anxiety is related to dangerous driving. For example, some studies suggest that anxiety has little (Oltedal & Rundmo, 2006) or no (Nordfjaern, Jorgensen & Rundmo, 2012) influence on dangerous or risky driving.…”

A Laboratory Study of Behavioural and Physiological Responses to Different Driving Environments.Barnard, M.P*., & Chapman, P. School of Psychology, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom AbstractResearch into anxiety and driving has indicated that those higher in anxiety are potentially more dangerous on the roads. However, simulator findings suggest that conclusions are mixed at best. It is possible that anxiety is becoming confused with fear, which has a focus on more clearly defined sources of threat from the environment, as opposed to the internal, thought-related process associated with anxiety. This research aimed to measure feelings of fear, as well as physiological and attentional reactions to increasing levels of accident risk.Trait anxiety was also measured to see if it interacted with levels of risk or its associated reactions. Participants watched videos of driving scenarios with varying levels of accident risk and had to rate how much fear they would feel if they were the driver of the car, whilst skin conductance, heart rate, and eye movements were recorded. Analysis of the data suggested that perceptions of fear increased with increasing levels of accident risk, and skin conductance reflected this pattern. Eye movements, when considered alongside reaction times, indicated different patterns of performance according to different dangerous situations.These effects were independent of trait anxiety, which was only associated with higher rates of disliking driving and use of maladaptive coping mechanisms on questionnaires. It is concluded that these results could provide useful evidence in support for training-based programs; it may also be beneficial to study trait anxiety within a more immersive driving environment and on a larger scale. 2Keywords: anxiety, fear, emotion, environmental arousal, somatic marker.

“…Results have shown that decisions on the mode of transport have been made in accordance with their attitudes and habits. [12] According to Innocenti (2013), models of behavior as a factor of influence on the choice of the mode of transportation, are based on the three following elements: recognition and inflow of information, influence of habits on tourist decisions and risk awareness in transport. [13] The stated researches prove the existence of certain factors with potential tourists which influence their state of awareness, attitudes, and therefore, the decisions they make.…”

Abstract. Air transport has the key position in the global economic growth. It represents the most important economic sector along with tourism, counting its direct, indirect and multiplier effects. The 21th century is the era of the air travel, as it has reached the share of more than a half of all passengers transported (51%). In the current safety conditions of aviation, even the smallest disorder could have major consequences. There are numerous factors in tourism that could cause difficulties in air travel. It is necessary to examine the psychological factors, as well as the safety perception of passengers. Transport safety is a significant factor for tourists, which could cause cancellation of bookings as a respond to perceived safety risk during the travel. Other researchers showed that passengers are ready to pay extra money for a transport, that seems more safer. Air travel passengers are often avoiding airlines, whose planes were involved in accidents. The main task of this paper is to reveal the major topics and the issues of perception, and to create a base for further scientific research. Results of the paper could be useful to managers of tourist and transport companies. The authors of the paper formed two hypotheses: H1 -There are no differences in air European Journal of Economic Studies, 2014, Vol. (7 ), № 1 16 travel safety perception between tourist with and without flying experience; H2 -Tourists with flying experience consider air transport as the safest. The data in this research was gathered through a direct questionnaire. The main methods used for data analyze and display of results were descriptive statistics, T-test and standard deviation. Data was processed with the IBM SPSS 19.0. software package for statistical research. Results showed that tourists without flying experience have doubts towards air travel safety, which is also influencing tourism. On the other hand, tourists with more experience regard airplanes as the safest way of travel.
