The study investigated differences in risk-perception between Spanish and U.S. drivers. Subjects estimated the risk involved in slides of traffic scenes. The slides, photographed in both Spain and the U.S.A., were rated for the amount of risk by using a seven-point scale. The subject groups in each country included younger, middle-aged, and older non-professional drivers, as well as middle-aged professional (bus, taxi, or truck) drivers. The data were analyzed by multiple regressions, using mean risk-ratings for each combination of slide, culture, subject group, and sex as the dependent variable. The independent variables included culture, subject group, sex, 23 dichotomously coded characteristics of the traffic scene, and the respective first-order interactions.
