Intelligent Speed Assistance can help drivers stay within the limit — but only if people use it. New blog for @Brakecharity on what UK drivers think, based on our @TheRSTrust funded work. brake.org.uk/how-we-help/ra…

Is there an “E-factor” underlying pro-environmental behaviour that interventions could target? We synthesised 1,888 correlations across 26 studies and consistently found links between behaviours — from recycling to sustainable transport. authors.elsevier.com/a/1m0R%7EzzKDP…

@ab_ciocirlan and I have been researching predictors of sustainable transportation behaviour, guided by the Theory of Planned Behaviour. If you are designing interventions in this area then our new paper might have some helpful insights on what to target. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

I'm delighted to share research recently published by my former PhD student, Zeliha Ezgi Saribaz. We tested whether poverty amplifies the association of parental distress and children’s mental health. We expected that it would but it didn’t… #citeas" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) can reduce speeding—but only if drivers use it. With @TheRSTrust, we created an animation & leaflet on ISA’s benefits. A randomised controlled trial found they boost intent to use ISA. Free materials & study: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S13…

On #InternationalWomensDay great to be reminded of leadership & life saving contribution to road safety made by the UK’s most effective Secretary of State for Transport, whose 1967 Road Traffic Act introduced the seat belt, breathalyser, & 70mph limit.

Intelligent Speed Assistance is becoming more common in cars, but what predicts intention to use it? With @RoadSafetyTruUK support we found a range of salient beliefs. These might interest organisations aiming to help drivers stay within the speed limit. doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.…

Intelligent speed assist is here on some cars and coming for others. However, many cars already have a speed limiter. Setting it throughout your drive at every limit change keeps you at the right speed, keeps you safe and heightens your observation powers around speed awareness

Intelligent speed assistance can support motorists to stay within speed limits and therefore save lives. What are the issues in rolling out the technology? With @RoadSafetyTruUK funding, we asked 60 stakeholders to find out. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I enjoyed presenting at the Road Safety GB conference yesterday. I talked about our @RoadSafetyTruUK funded work informing public information campaigns about encouraging the use of Intelligent Speed Assistance. Some details available here authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S13… #NRSC2023

Fantastic psychology PhD place, fully funded for 3.5 yrs, with me and @maddyarden, applying behavioural science to reducing parental conflict. Project will work with @TaviRelations and @OnePlusOne_. Closes 12th May. Get in touch for more info. findaphd.com/phds/project/p…

New research just out on the role of self-regulation in young Iranian drivers. The driving context is very different from the UK, but the underlying processes look quite similar. authors.elsevier.com/c/1gvV0LDR90Qz

New research out addressing the links between Adverse Childhood Experiences and emotional and behavioural problems. First author @georgekhales and @agata_debowska key contributers. doi.org/10.1177/088626…

I’ve been interested in the role of self-regulation in risky driving for a while as a potential safety intervention target. Very pleased to have been involved in this paper which develops a driving specific measure of self-regulation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

In this #FreeAccess commentary, @ProfRichRowe reflects on Brown, Beardslee, Frick, Steinberg and Cauffman (2022) and explores the potential of #Sleep research to contribute to our understanding on antisocial behaviour. A fascinating read. bit.ly/3sDDwsl

Newly qualified motorists are the most vulnerable road users. Fortunately, this improves dramatically within a few months. But what’s different after a few hundred miles of driving? Here we report our latest attempts to find out: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…

Child conduct problems, socio-economic status and the impact on broader family functioning 🗓️Weds 8 June | 10:00-13:00 BST | Seminar Speakers: @ProfRichRowe @sheffielduni, Patrycja Piotrowska, Ann Hagell, Barbara Maughan and @noraamcintyre Register➡️nuffieldfoundation.org/events/child-c…

Six - cross party - former road safety ministers support @transportgovuk implementing full package of vehicle safety measures applied across EU from July. This includes Intelligent Speed Assistance. See @PACTS letter to @grantshapps. Voices of reason not reaction on road safety.

@NuffieldFound funded work on the mechanisms linking family income to conduct problems in children out today. We found relationships with family functioning and parental mental health, but not the relationships we expected. cup.org/3irDvmp

@CrisNicaPsy @RoadSafetyTruUK Hi Cristian, many thanks for your interest in the post. Please can you drop me an email and we can discuss. sheffield.ac.uk/psychology/peo…

@ProfRichRowe @RoadSafetyTruUK Hello, I would be interested to discuss further. Please let me know what are your availabilities.

We’re looking for a researcher interested in predicting and changing health behaviour. The project is about Intelligent Speed Assistance, funded by @RoadSafetyTruUK. Closing date March 25. I am happy to answer queries. jobs.ac.uk/job/COC452/res…
