Presentation: Distraction in road-safety interventions: challenging social norms without using ‘fear appeal’
This presentation will present a pilot case study which successfully deployed an alternative to the traditional ‘fear- appealing’ approach often used in pre-driver road safety education.
The case study explored and evaluated alternative behaviour change techniques to successfully challenge two behind-the-wheel distraction-related social norms (mobile phone use and passenger distraction) through the use of positive reframing, interactive games, self-reflective techniques and normalisation of positive behaviour.
The case study comprises a good practice example for analysing, designing, implementing and evaluating a behaviour change intervention.
