“…It is expected that identifying violating e-bikers with negative portrayal would reduce e-bikers' RLR behavior. is expectation is supported by the findings of Demir et al [56], which indicated that identifying speeders with negative portrayal on campus could reduce the incidence of speeding behavior. Also, school-based education can be an important approach to changing or correcting individual attitudes and prototype perceptions, especially correcting younger people's attitudes and prototype perceptions [40].…”

To date, electric bikers’ (e-bikers’) red-light running (RLR) behavior is often viewed as one of the main contributors to e-bike-related accidents, especially for traffic scenarios with high e-bike ridership. In this paper, we aim to understand e-bikers’ RLR behavior based on structural equation modeling. Specifically, the predictive utility of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), prototype willingness model (PWM), and their combined form, TPB-PWM model, is used to analyze e-bikers’ RLR behavior, and a comparison analysis is made. The analyses of the three modeling approaches are based on the survey data collected from two online questionnaires, where more than 1,035 participant-completed questionnaires are received. The main findings in this paper are as follows: (i) Both PWM and TPB-PWM models could work better in characterizing e-bikers’ RLR behavior than the TPB model. The former two models explain more than 80% (81.3% and 81.4%, respectively) of the variance in e-bikers’ RLR behavior, which is remarkably higher than that of the TPB model (only 74.3%). (ii) It is also revealed that RLR willingness contributes more on influencing the RLR behavior than RLR intention, which implies that such behavior is dominated by social reactive decision-making rather than the reasoned one. (iii) Among the examined psychological factors, attitude, perceived behavioral control, past behavior, prototype perceptions (favorability and similarity), RLR intention, and RLR willingness were the crucial predictors of e-bikers’ RLR behavior. Our findings also support designing of more effective behavior-change interventions to better target e-bikers’ RLR behavior by considering the influence of the identified psychological factors.

“…From this perspective, these behaviours are often associated with trustiness, and legitimacy thus refers to procedural justice (e.g., Bradford et al, 2015;Chermak et al, 2001;. Penalties can be another issue related to legitimacy, distinct from the way in which they are imposed, which is often associated with fairness and refers to distributive justice (e.g., Demir et al, 2018;Watling, 2018;Watling & Leal, 2012).…”

“…Legitimacy as distributive justice or fairness Demir et al (2018); Watling (2018); Watling & Leal (2012) Distributive justice or fairness refers to how people perceive the allocation of outcomes, resources, to be fairly distributed across individuals and/or social groups.…”

“…Depending on the contributions, participants could be asked if the past experience they had with traffic police was either positive or negative (Havârneanu & Goliţă, 2010), if the police officer was perceived as behaving properly and respectfully (Gau, 2012), or they could be asked about the perceived professionalism and courteousness of the police officer encountered (Chermak et al, 2001). While most of these measures consist of a few items focused on specific aspects, Demir et al (2018) proposed a multidimensional scale addressing perceived police legitimacy at different levels. The authors proposed a three-factor model tested with a confirmatory principal component factor analysis.…”

BackgroundPerceived legitimacy associated with rules and authorities is an important element for understanding and encouraging compliance with rules in the field of road safety, often more so than with a deterrence approach. Despite a growing interest in legitimacy in recent decades and in the psychological field in particular, its definitions and measurements appear to be heterogeneous, subject to debate and in need of a common theoretical framework. Therefore, one can expect these limitations to also concern the definitions and measurements of legitimacy in the field of road safety. However, no literature review related to this issue is currently available. This contribution therefore aims to fill this void by proposing a scoping review investigating, in the field of road safety, how legitimacy is defined, measured, related to compliance and what are its main determinants. MethodsA scoping review was conducted, based on research literature from eight databases and concerned with the perceived legitimacy of traffic rules or traffic enforcement and rule compliance or traffic violations. Twenty-six publications meeting inclusion criteria were retained. The characteristics and content of publications were analyzed to identify the relevant elements related to our research questions. Results and conclusionThe main results revealed that perceived legitimacy in the field of road safety can be related to different objects (i.e., traffic rules, traffic violations, traffic enforcement, institutions) that should be better delineated and differentiated in future research. While perceived legitimacy is generally associated with compliance with traffic rules, its theoretical definitions and measures in the field of road safety are heterogeneous and present validity issues which limit the comparability of studies and so the accumulation of knowledge for both theoretical research and road safety applications. No empirical study investigating the outcomes of perceived legitimacy beyond compliance was identified. Few empirical studies have investigated the determinants of perceived legitimacy. Most identified empirical studies were cross-sectional, which is a limitation to establishing causality in investigated relationships. Theoretical implications and research perspectives to improve studies on legitimacy in the field of road safety and develop a multidimensional model of the perceived legitimacy of traffic rules are therefore proposed and discussed.
