摘要本文探讨台湾地区使用电话(通话、发短信、听音乐)对行人过马路行为及疏忽失明的影响。最近的带有触摸屏的手机，以及包括多媒体和移动应用程序(App)在内的更高级功能，加剧了与认知分心和情境意识降低有关的问题。为观察行人的过马路行为(如过马路时间、突然停车、过马路前向两边看以及不遵守交通信号)，进行了一项使用摄像机的对照现场研究。行人被分成两组：实验组(聊天、发短信、听音乐)和对照组(不使用手机)。通过评估行人是否在附近看到或听到不寻常的物体(即小丑)，来检查行人的疏忽失明。结果表明，在分心的人中，不安全过马路行为的比例更高，在使用即时通讯应用的人中，这一比例更明显。这些即时通讯应用程序的用户最不可能看到小丑，音乐听众最不可能听到小丑按喇叭的声音。导致不安全行为的因素包括，是一名学生，手机屏幕为5 英寸或更大，以及无限制的3G互联网接入。通过应用程序发短信是导致行人不安全过马路行为和疏忽失明的主要因素。
ABSTRACT The paper investigates the effects of phone use (talking, texting, and listening to music) on the street-crossing behaviours of pedestrians and their inattentional blindness in Taiwan. Recent handsets with touchscreens, as well as more advanced features including multimedia, and mobile applications (apps), exacerbate problems relating to cognitive distraction and reduced situation awareness. A controlled field study using video cameras was conducted for observing pedestrians’ crossing behaviours (e.g. crossing time, sudden stops, looking both ways before crossing, and disobeying traffic signals). Pedestrians were classified into two groups: experimental group (talking, texting, and listening to music) and control group (no phone use). Pedestrians’ inattentional blindness was examined by evaluating whether they saw and heard an unusual object (i.e. a clown) nearby. The results indicate that the proportions of unsafe crossing behaviours (e.g. sudden stops, disobeying traffic signals, and not looking both ways before crossing) were higher among distracted individuals and more pronounced among those using instant-messaging apps. These instant-message app users were the least likely to see the clown, and music listeners were the least likely to hear the horn that the clown was honking. Contributing factors to unsafe behaviours include being a student, having a phone screen of 5 inches or larger, and having unlimited 3G Internet access. Texting message via apps was the leading factor on unsafe crossing behaviours of pedestrians and their inattentional blindness.
