Users’ hazard perception of warning components: An examination of colors and symbols
Year:
2000
192. Smith-Jackson, T. L., & Wogalter, M. S. (2000b). Users' hazard perception of warning components: An examination of colors and symbols. Proceedings of the International Ergonomics Association & the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Congress, 44 (6), 55-58.
Abstract:
This study examined color and symbol hazard ratings among participants whose primary language was English and who were monolingual. Participants rated perceived hazards often ANSI safety colors and six symbols. RED, followed by YELLOW, BLACK, and ORANGE, were given the highest hazard ratings. The skull, prohibition (circle-slash), and the shock symbols produced the top three…
Using a computer simulated world to study behavioral compliance with warnings: Effects of salience and gender
Year:
1997
108. Glover, B. L., & Wogalter, M.S. (1997). Using a computer simulated world to study behavioral compliance with warnings: Effects of salience and gender. Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 41, 1283-1287.
Abstract:
Warning signs are intended to alert persons to potential dangers in the environment. Despite its importance, empirical studies measuring behavioral compliance with warnings are limited due to methodological difficulties and ethical considerations in conducting the research. The present study used a computer simulated world as a new method for studying behavioral compliance. Such simulations can…

Year:
1999
157. Conzola, C. V., & Wogalter, M. S. (1999). Using voice and print directives and warnings to supplement product manual instructions. International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, 23, 549-556.
Abstract:
The present research investigated the effect of supplemental messages on compliance with and recall of product manual instructions. During the unpacking of a computer disk drive supplemental messages were presented that concerned procedures to prevent product damage during installation. The supplemental messages were either presented by digitized voice (auditory) or by printed placard (visual). Two…

Virtual reality (VR) and its potential for evaluating warning compliance
Year:
2010

Abstract:
Behavioral compliance is usually considered the best measure of warning effectiveness. Researching behavioral effects is difficult to carry out, however, due to concerns for safety, ethics, and high costs. Researchers cannot expose participants to real hazards while conducting a research. A realistic scenario that appears risky but that actually has no risk is expensive to…
Warning and instructions: Design factors for medical devices and systems
Year:
2000
184. Kalsher, M. J., & Wogalter, M. S. (2000). Warning and instructions: Design factors for medical devices and systems. Proceedings of the International Ergonomics Association & the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Congress, 44 (4), 537-540.
Abstract:
The development and widespread use of sophisticated medical ~evices to help pati~ts has also ~urt patients through operator error. Some of this error may be attnbutable to the quality of the. labeling instructions that accompany these devices. Lessons learned from two decades of rese.arch ~n warnll1;gs ~ay serve as a guide to development of effective…
Warning channel: Modality and media

2006
263. Cohen, H. H., Cohen, J., Mendat, C. C., & Wogalter, M. S. (2006). Warning channel: Modality and media. In M.S. Wogalter (Ed.) Handbook of Warnings (pp. 123-134). Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.
Abstract:
One of the most important areas regarding warnings is the chan- nel through which a warning is sent. This chapter focuses on research on how a message may be transmitted to a receiver from a source. A message can be delivered through one or more media and received by one or more sensory modalities. In…
Warning compliance: Behavioral effects of cost and consensus
Year:
1988
14. Wogalter, M. S., McKenna, N. A., & Allison, S. T. (1988). Warning compliance: Behavioral effects of cost and consensus. Proceedings of the Human Factors Society, 32, 901-904.
Abstract:
Two laboratory experiments were conducted to examine the behavioral effects of cost and consensus on warning compliance. Subjects performed a chemistry demonstration task using a set of insnuctions that contained a warning directing them to wear a safety mask and gloves. In Experiment 1, cost was manipulated by locating the masks and gloves in either…

Abstract:
This chapter describes the role and characteristics of the source in determining the effectiveness of communications to re- ceivers. It begins by reviewing the various parties who may serve as a warning source and considers how a manufacturer should go about recognizing when warnings are necessary as well as how to go about disseminating effective…
Warning symbols (Chap. 12)
Year:
2006
289. Wogalter, M. S., Silver, N. C., Leonard, S. D., & Zaikina, H. (2006). Warning symbols (Chap. 12). In M. S. Wogalter (Ed.) Handbook of Warnings (pp. 159-176). Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.
Abstract:
Symbols (also called pictorials, pictograms, and icons) are graph- ical forms that are used to present information. They are some- times distinguished from text, and they also accompany and support text. In warnings, safety symbols may be used to in- crease salience, comprehension, and compliance to warning information. The effectiveness of a symbol depends on…
