“…To understand the link between social climate and transit use by young transit riders, this study extends the theory of planned behavior (TPB) (14) with the three social climate dimensions of relationships, personal growth, and system management (15). Habitual transit use was modeled, with a structural equations model (SEM), as a function of attitudes toward public transport, subjective norms, social ambience in public transport, travel independence and autonomy, house rules, and perceived quality of service.…”

“…The conceptual behavioral framework of the SC model depicts the human context of everyday life and the social resources that arise and relate to the individual's preferences, autonomy, ability, and skills. The SC model comprises three dimensions-relationships, personal growth, and system maintenance-and can be applied to the individual's expanding social circles, from family and peers to institutions and community at large (15). Notably, in this study the SC model applies to the travelers' social climate, including both pretrip and en route climates.…”

As mobility has increasingly become a vehicle for producing meaning and culture, and public transport has traditionally formed a dense and diverse social climate in which social interactions habitually occur, assessing the relationship between social climate and transit use is extremely important, especially in the younger populations that will shape the future of transport systems. This study proposes a behavioral framework founded on the theory of planned behavior and the social climate model. The study presents a tailor-made, web-based survey and a structural equation model for analyzing transit use as a function of attitudes toward public transport, subjective norms, social ambience in public transport, travel independence and autonomy, family (house) rules, and perceived quality of service. This study focuses on transit systems in cities in North and South America that have a much higher public transport ridership, tighter design standards in terms of personal space, and a higher degree of informal social interaction than transit systems in Europe, where previous studies have been conducted. Estimation results from a structural equations model show that (a) transit use frequency is significantly related to the perceived behavioral control of using transit and the social climate; (b) attitudes, norms, and perceived behavioral control are associated with perceived service quality; (c) gender differences exist in the user experience and appreciation of the social climate in transit; and (d) the residential social climate is linked to the transit social climate.

Congruence and well-being in a student sample: an investigation using the experience sampling model

An undergraduate student sample was used to explore the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) in a study looking at the relationship between person by environment fit (congruence) and well-being. Specifically, does congruence account for well-being above and beyond personality variables or environmental variables on their own? Activities were monitored using the ESM and personality variables were collected using the PRF (Form E). Well-being was measured using the subscales of the General WellBeing Schedule: adjustment well-being, behavioral well-being and a composite total well-being score. Three methods of operationalizing congruence were used; an informed observer method (congruence according to the investigator), an intersubjective method (congruence according to a committee of undergraduate students) and a subject method (congruence according to the subjects themselves).T~ese multiple methods of obtaining congruence were compared and discussed due to the issues surrounding the operationalizing of congruence (i.e. who is best to determine which personality factors "fit" in which environmental conditions). Issues concerning the statistical modeling of congruence and well-being relationships were also investigated.Linear and quadratic models of fit were compared and the theoretical implications are discussed. It was found that the investigator method of coding predicted behavioral well-being as measured by the General Well-Being Schedule but that is was less of a predictor than personality characteristics. Neither the intersubjective or the subjective methods of coding were able to predict well-being.
