Perceived effectiveness of bilingual label designs by English and Spanish language users
Year:
2006
272. Lim, R. W., & Wogalter, M. S. (2006). Perceived effectiveness of bilingual label designs by English and Spanish language users. In R. N. Pikkar, E. A. P. Koningsveld, & P. J. M. Settels (Eds.), Proceedings of the XVIth Triennial International Ergonomics Association (pp. 6541-6546). Amsterdam: Elsevier (ISSN 0003-6870).
Abstract:
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Hispanics are now the largest minority group in the U.S. Because many of these immigrants know little or no English, they are at a greater risk of injury because most product warning systems in the U.S. are exclusively in English. This study examined the perceptions and performance of both…

Abstract:
This stultv' examined perceived effectiveness of warning signs for various hazard situations. Four-statement signs contained a signal word, a hazard statement, a consequencestatement, and an instruction statement. Four additional three-statement signs, each with a different stetement systemetically removed from the four-statement sign, were used, for a total of 5 signs for each hazard sItuation. The…

Year:
1986
5. Wogalter, M. S., Desaulniers, D. R., & Brelsford, J. W., Jr. (1986). Perceptions of consumer product hazards: Implications for the need to warn. Proceedings of the Human Factors Society, 30, 1197-1201.
Abstract:
This research examines several characteristics of consumer products that influence warning communication. Seventy-two generically-named products were rat~d.according to perceived hazardousness, familiarity, and several other measures: 1) wlllmgness to read warnings, 2) need for warnings, 3) location of warnings, and 4) appearance of products with warnings. The results indicate that reported willingness to read warnings is…

Pharmaceutical container labels and warnings: Preference and perceived readability of alternative designs and pictorials

Abstract:
The appropriate use of pharmaceuticals, as well as their hazards, are not commonly known to most people. In fact, the only information available to consumers at the time of consumption is usually the material found on the product label. Unfortunately, people often have difficulty with the labels because the print on the label is too…
Pictorial negations: Preferences for different circle-slash variations
Year:
1996

Abstract:
A circle with a 45-degree slash overlayed on a pictorial has been increasingly used to depict a negation. However, in some cases this overlay could obscure critical parts of the symbol making the depiction difficult to recogniqe. Ibe present study investigated whether participants would judge the acceptability of various kinds of circle-slash negation differently. Sixteen…

Abstract:
Federal legislation requires a warning label on all alcoholic beverage containers sold in the U.S. However, this method of communicating the hazards of alcohol consumption is lacking because (a) it is not designed to reach the underage population. (b) the warning label is small and contains limited information, and (c) the information is not communicated…
