Abstract

This study investigates the determinants that influence drivers to exceed speed limits by using an extended version of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Therefore, data about 254 drivers representing various cities in Morocco were collected via a web-based questionnaire. Then, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to validate the proposed questionnaire, while structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to analyze and validate the hypothesized model. The results suggest that the extended TPB, incorporating additional factors of habit, moral norms and descriptive norms, outperforms the original TPB. Moreover, the findings underscore that speeding behavior is directly influenced by both speeding intention and habit, and indirectly influenced by moral norms and habit through the mediation of intention. The result of this study will contribute to developing new behavior change interventions aiming at combating speeding behavior and also contributing to ongoing efforts aiming at promoting road safety.

摩洛哥司机超速行为的相关因素：以计划行为理论为指导的研究

本研究采用扩展版的计划行为理论（TPB），调查影响司机超速的决定因素。因此，我们通过网络问卷收集了代表摩洛哥不同城市的 254 名驾驶员的数据。然后，采用确证因子分析（CFA）验证了所提出的问卷，并通过结构方程模型（SEM）分析和验证了假设模型。结果表明，包含习惯、道德规范和描述性规范等额外因素的扩展 TPB 优于原始 TPB。此外，研究结果还强调，超速行为受超速意向和习惯的直接影响，并通过意向的中介作用受道德规范和习惯的间接影响。本研究的结果将有助于开发旨在打击超速行为的新的行为改变干预措施，同时也有助于促进道路安全的持续努力。

期刊介绍： First published in 1977 as an international journal sponsored by the International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences, IATSS Research has contributed to the dissemination of interdisciplinary wisdom on ideal mobility, particularly in Asia. IATSS Research is an international refereed journal providing a platform for the exchange of scientific findings on transportation and safety across a wide range of academic fields, with particular emphasis on the links between scientific findings and practice in society and cultural contexts. IATSS Research welcomes submission of original research articles and reviews that satisfy the following conditions: 1.Relevant to transportation and safety, and the multiple impacts of transportation systems on security, human health, and the environment. 2.Contains important policy and practical implications based on scientific evidence in the applicable academic field. In addition to welcoming general submissions, IATSS Research occasionally plans and publishes special feature sections and special issues composed of invited articles addressing specific topics.
