Abstract

This paper introduces the social network perspective to the context of electric‐bike driving and empirically tests various hypotheses on the relationship between social network density and electric‐bike driving hazards. The results of a three‐wave time‐lagged field study of 1575 electric‐bike drivers showed that social network density had a negative indirect effect on driving hazards, mediated by perceived obligation, and a positive indirect effect on driving hazards, mediated by overconfidence. Furthermore, a strong perceived ethical climate strengthened the negative indirect effect of social network density on driving hazards via perceived obligation and mitigated the positive indirect effect of social network density on driving hazards via overconfidence. This study makes theoretical contributions and provides empirical evidence to support the further exploration of electric‐bike driving safety hazards. It also contributes to the literature on social network density by revealing how it is akin to a double‐edged sword in the context of safety incidents.

感知义务、过度自信与电动自行车驾驶危险：社交网络密度的双刃剑

本文将社会网络视角引入电动自行车驾驶，并对社会网络密度与电动自行车驾驶危险之间关系的各种假设进行了实证检验。对 1575 名电动自行车驾驶者进行的三波时滞实地研究结果表明，社会网络密度对驾驶危险有负向间接影响（以感知义务为中介），对驾驶危险有正向间接影响（以过度自信为中介）。此外，强烈的感知道德氛围通过感知义务加强了社交网络密度对驾驶危险的负向间接影响，通过过度自信减轻了社交网络密度对驾驶危险的正向间接影响。本研究为进一步探讨电动自行车驾驶安全隐患做出了理论贡献并提供了经验证据。本研究还揭示了社交网络密度在安全事故中是一把双刃剑，从而为有关社交网络密度的文献做出了贡献。
