Taking risks with safety gear: Biomechanical and psychological perspectives on risk compensation

该项目独特地结合了客观和主观措施，调查人们在面对安全干预措施时是否以及如何承担更多风险。调查在运动中使用安全装备的行为变化是有益的，因为它(a)可以全面衡量冒险行为，(b)可以带来重大的健康益处。这些健康益处包括通过提高安全装备的功效来减少运动伤害，并将其应用于其他健康领域的冒险活动，如患者安全、职业安全和运输安全。通过改进方法，该项目将推动这一有争议话题的国际研究实践。

This project uniquely combines objective and subjective measures in investigating whether and how people take more risks in the face of safety interventions. Investigating changes in behaviour with safety gear in sport is of benefit because it (a) allows comprehensive measurement of risk-taking behaviour and (b) can result in significant health benefits. These health benefits include reducing sports injuries through improving the efficacy of safety gear, and applications to risk-taking in other health domains, such as patient safety, occupational safety, and transport safety. Through improved methodology, the project should advance international research practice on this controversial topic.
