- Abstract
This paper evaluated the impacts of various factors on the youngcyclist’s intention of aberrant crossing behaviors at intersections. Bicycles were classified into conventional bikes and electric bikes (hereinafter referred to as e-bikes). Data were collected from 374 participants in Nanjing, China.The hierarchical multiple linear regressionanalysis was conducted to estimate the impacts of various factor variablesbased on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). The results showed that three key traditional TPB variables including attitudes, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control (PBC) accounted for 50% of all variances in two scenarios plus the variables of past behavior with 3% of variance, conformity tendency in bikes scenario and anticipated affect with 1% of variance in e-bikes scenario constituting two modified TPB model. Three key traditional TPB variablesresulted in an abundant increase of 42% of thevariance in e-bikes, which is 6% higher than that in another scenario. The allselected predicting variables accounted for 66% of variance for e-bikes and 60% for bikes in predicting the crossing intentions. The findings of this study can help come up with interventions and educations measures for aberrant crossing behaviors based on the effect analysis of variables on intention.
