Aberrant Riding Behavior of Food Delivery Riders Model
Measures safety knowledge, safety attitudes, risk perceptions, and aberrant riding behaviors among food delivery riders.
Scale Development & Technical Details
Scale Overview
The Aberrant Riding Behavior of Food Delivery Riders Model was developed by Qian, Qian; He, Junyi; Shi, Jing (2024). It is designed to measure Aberrant Riding Behavior. The scale is intended for use with Food delivery riders (adults).
Scale Structure
This instrument consists of 31 items organized into 6 factors/subscales: Safety Knowledge, Safety Attitudes toward Responsibility, Safety Attitudes toward Laws, Risk Perception – Severity, Risk Perception – Probability, Aberrant Riding Behaviors.
| Factor / Subscale | Items | N |
|---|---|---|
| Safety Knowledge | 1,2,3 | 3 |
| Safety Attitudes toward Responsibility | 4,5,6,7,8 | 5 |
| Safety Attitudes toward Laws | 9,10 | 2 |
| Risk Perception – Severity | 11,12,13,14,15 | 5 |
| Risk Perception – Probability | 16,17 | 2 |
| Aberrant Riding Behaviors | 18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31 | 14 |
Response Format
Respondents rate each item using a custom response format.
Response anchors: 1 = 1 (Totally Uninformed / Strongly Disagree / Not risky at all / Never), 2 = 2 (Uninformed / Disagree / Slightly risky / Rarely), 3 = 3 (Neutral / Moderately risky / Occasionally), 4 = 4 (Informed / Agree / Very risky / Sometimes), 5 = 5 (Very Well-Informed / Strongly Agree / Extremely risky / Always).
The scale includes 1 reverse-scored items to reduce acquiescence bias.
Scoring
Items are scored by subscale, with each subscale sum representing a distinct dimension.
Total scores range from 14 to 70. Interpretation guidelines:
- Low frequency of aberrant riding behavior: 14 – 28
- Moderate frequency of aberrant riding behavior: 29 – 56
- High frequency of aberrant riding behavior: 57 – 70
Psychometric Properties
Internal Consistency: The scale has demonstrated good to excellent internal consistency with reported Cronbach’s alpha values of Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.706 to 0.944 across subscales.
Administration
The scale is self-administered and typically takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. It can be administered individually or in group settings. No special training is required for administration.
