Aberrant Riding Behavior of Food Delivery Riders Model
Measures aberrant riding behaviors, safety knowledge, safety attitudes, and risk perceptions among food delivery riders.
Scale Development & Technical Details
Scale Overview
The Aberrant Riding Behavior of Food Delivery Riders Model was developed by Qian Qian, Junyi He, Jing Shi (2024). It is designed to measure Aberrant Riding Behavior, Safety Attitudes, Risk Perception. The scale is intended for use with Food delivery riders (adults).
Scale Structure
This instrument consists of 31 items organized into 8 factors/subscales: Safety Knowledge, Safety Attitudes toward Responsibility, Safety Attitudes toward Laws, Risk Perception – Severity, Risk Perception – Probability, Aberrant Riding Behaviors – General Violations, Aberrant Riding Behaviors – Distraction and Mistakes, Aberrant Riding Behaviors – Aggressive Riding.
| 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 – General Violations | 18,19,20,21,22 | 5 |
| Aberrant Riding Behaviors – Distraction and Mistakes | 23,24,25,26,27 | 5 |
| Aberrant Riding Behaviors – Aggressive Riding | 28,29,30,31 | 4 |
Response Format
Respondents rate each item using a custom response format.
Response anchors: 1 = 1 (Low / Strongly Disagree / Never), 2 = 2 (Rarely / Disagree), 3 = 3 (Occasionally / Neutral), 4 = 4 (Sometimes / Agree), 5 = 5 (High / Strongly Agree / 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 31 to 155. Interpretation guidelines:
- Low Risk / High Safety Orientation: 31 – 77
- Moderate Risk / Moderate Safety Orientation: 78 – 124
- High Risk / Low Safety Orientation: 125 – 155
Psychometric Properties
Internal Consistency: The scale has demonstrated good to excellent internal consistency with reported Cronbach’s alpha values of Cronbach's alpha: 0.706 – 0.944.
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.
