随着手持多媒体设备在全球的使用呈爆炸式增长，安全专家已经开始考虑在交谈、发短信或听音乐时分心对交通安全的影响。这项研究旨在测试打电话、发短信和听音乐对行人安全的影响。138名大学生穿过一条互动的、半沉浸式的虚拟步行街。他们被随机分配到四组中的一组：边打电话边过马路，边发短信边过马路，边听个人音乐设备边过马路，或者心不在焉地过马路。被音乐或短信分心的参与者比没有分心的参与者更有可能在虚拟的行人环境中被车辆撞到。与没有分心的参与者相比，所有三组分心的参与者都更有可能将目光从街道环境中移开(而转向其他地方，如他们的电话或音乐设备)。在控制了人口统计学、步行频率和媒体使用频率后，研究结果保持不变。从多媒体设备上分心对大学生的行人安全有很小但有意义的影响。未来的研究应该考虑行人安全的认知需求，以及这些过程可能会受到分心的影响。政策制定者可能会考虑一些方法，以保护分心的行人免受伤害，并减少分心时过街的人数。
As use of handheld multimedia devices has exploded globally, safety experts have begun to consider the impact of distraction while talking, text-messaging, or listening to music on traffic safety. This study was designed to test how talking on the phone, texting, and listening to music may influence pedestrian safety. 138 college students crossed an interactive, semi-immersive virtual pedestrian street. They were randomly assigned to one of four groups: crossing while talking on the phone, crossing while texting, crossing while listening to a personal music device, or crossing while undistracted. Participants distracted by music or texting were more likely to be hit by a vehicle in the virtual pedestrian environment than were undistracted participants. Participants in all three distracted groups were more likely to look away from the street environment (and look toward other places, such as their telephone or music device) than were undistracted participants. Findings were maintained after controlling for demographics, walking frequency, and media use frequency. Distraction from multimedia devices has a small but meaningful impact on college students’ pedestrian safety. Future research should consider the cognitive demands of pedestrian safety, and how those processes may be impacted by distraction. Policymakers might consider ways to protect distracted pedestrians from harm and to reduce the number of individuals crossing streets while distracted.
