Abstract

Background: Risk-taking has an influential role in accident occurrence or prevention. Hence, having a valid tool to evaluate workers for risk-taking is necessary. Risk-taking has been intensely studied in the field of psychology and neuroscience, leading to the development of several questionnaires and software. Objectives: In the present study, a new questionnaire was developed and validated based on the conceptual model to assess risk-taking behavior in people working in operator control rooms in industrial settings. Methods: Questions were selected from well-known psychological scales based on a conceptual model, followed by approving its face validity and conducting exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Afterward, some models were computed with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Bayesian structural equation modeling (BSEM). The questionnaire was completed by 208 males who worked in the control room of some industries in Markazi province, Iran, in 2021. Test-retest reliability was done by 42 participants at a three-month interval. Results: One factor and 12 items were suggested by EFA. The model was accepted based on the results of Operator Control Room Risk-taking Questionnaire (ORTQ) goodness of fit CFA (χ2/df = 1.89, comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.90, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.09, and P < 0.001). The correlation coefficient (P < 0.001) between risk-taking and impulsivity was 0.65. However, it was 0.69 between venturesomeness and risk-taking and 0.58 between impulsivity and venturesomeness. Cronbach's alpha was 0.89 for ORTQ test-retest reliability. Operator Control Room Risk-taking Questionnaire was confirmed to have a better leave-one-out cross-validation information criterion (LOOIC) based on BSEM rather than Bayesian confirmatory factor analysis (BCFA). Conclusions: Operator Control Room Risk-taking Questionnaire is a valid and reliable questionnaire that can be used as a screening tool for risk-taking traits in workers before enrolment.

操作员控制室风险评估问卷（ORTQ）：一种在伊朗工人中验证的特定风险评估工具

背景:冒险行为在事故发生或预防中具有重要作用。因此，有一个有效的工具来评估员工的冒险行为是必要的。在心理学和神经科学领域，人们对冒险行为进行了深入的研究，并开发了一些调查问卷和软件。目的:在本研究中，基于概念模型开发并验证了一份新的问卷，以评估工业环境中操作员控制室工作人员的冒险行为。方法:采用概念模型从知名心理量表中抽取问题，对其进行面效度评定，并进行探索性因子分析。然后，用验证性因子分析(CFA)和贝叶斯结构方程模型(BSEM)计算了一些模型。该问卷由2021年在伊朗马卡齐省一些行业控制室工作的208名男性完成。42名参与者每隔3个月进行一次重测信度。结果:EFA建议1个因素，12个项目。根据操作员控制室风险承担问卷(ORTQ)的拟合优度CFA (χ2/df = 1.89，比较拟合指数(CFI) = 0.90，近似均方根误差(RMSEA) = 0.09, P < 0.001)的结果接受模型。冒险与冲动的相关系数为0.65 (P < 0.001)。然而，冒险性和冒险性之间的差距为0.69，冲动性和冒险性之间的差距为0.58。ORTQ重测信度Cronbach's alpha为0.89。操作员控制室风险承担问卷被证实具有更好的基于BSEM的留一交叉验证信息标准(LOOIC)，而不是贝叶斯验证因子分析(BCFA)。结论:《操作员控制室冒险行为问卷》是一份有效、可靠的问卷，可作为入组前工人冒险行为特征的筛选工具。
