Development of a warning system for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (pp. 439-443)
Year:
2001
201. Freeman, K. F., Wogalter, M. S., Hink-Eustace, J. K., & Frederick, L. J. (2001). Development of a warning system for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (pp. 439-443). In A. C. Bittner, Jr., P. C. Champney, and S. J. Morrissey (eds.), Advances in Occupational Ergonomics and Safety 4, London: Taylor and Francis.
Abstract:
Reports of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) have increased dramatically in recent years. One potential way to reduce CTS incidence is to warn people to recognize early symptoms so that they may talce corrective actions to limit their injury. The present research examines the kinds of words and statements that might comprise a warning that informs…

Discrimination among sign and label warning signal words
Year:
1998
132. Drake, K. L., Conzola, V. C., & Wogalter, M. S. (1998). Discrimination among sign and label warning signal words. Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing, 8, 289-301.
Abstract:
Signal words are commonly used in warnings to quickly communicate potential hazards. Current standards and guidelines define the terms DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTICE as denoting decreasing hazard levels, respectively. This study examined whether definitions assigned to these words coincide with people’s understanding of them. Seventy-two participants attempted to match published definitions to the terms.…

Year:
1996

Abstract:
Jason K. Eustace American University Washington, DC 20016-8019 Previous research is equivocal on the most efficient, effective methods for displaying quantitative information in tables and graphs. Guidelines suggest different display types are more appropriate for certain purposes but not others. However, there is little empirical evidence to support the recommendations. This study examines several methods…
Do grables enable the extraction of quantitative information better than pure graphs or tables?
Year:
1998

Abstract:
Previous research is equivocal regarding the most effective methods of presenting quantitative information displays. The differences in results may be due to numerous reasons including the display and inquiry type. This study examines several methods of displaying quantitative information (e.g., line graphs, line grables, bar charts, bar grables, tables, pie charts and pie grables) that…

Abstract:
In previous research, farmers identified farm-vehicle public-road crashes as their top safety concern. In addition, they indicated other drivers’ lack o f respect as a major safety problem. One purpose of this research was to iden* non-farm vehicle driver attitudes, beliefs and self-reported driving behaviors that are associated with disrespectful public road behavior toward farm…

Effect of container shape on hazard perceptions

Abstract:
People may make assumptions about the hazard levels of products based on the physical characteristics of the container. One primary physical characteristic of a container is its shape (configuration). For example a container appearing similar to a carton of milk might be assumed to hold a less hazardous substance than would a paint can. The…
Effect of presentation modality in direct-to-consumer (DTC) prescription drug television advertisements

Abstract:
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) drug advertising markets medications requiring a physician ’ s script to the general public. In television advertising, risk disclosures (such as side effects and contraindications) may be communicated in either auditory (voice) or visual (text) or both in the commercials. This research examines presentation modality factors affecting the communication of the risk disclosures…
Effect of signal word and source attribution on judgments of warning credibility and compliance likelihood

1999

Abstract:
Social-communication models frequently include message source as an important factor in persuasion. However, research on the contribution of source characteristics to warning e ! ectiveness is virtually non-existent. The present research involved two experiments. Experiment 1 examined the e ! ects of the presence (vs. absence) of the signal word WARNING, supplementing it with the…

Abstract:
Communication models frequently include the source of a message as an important detenninant of persuasion. However, research on the contribution of source characteristics to warning effectiveness is virtually non-existent. The present research investigated three types of sources: (1) specific regulatory governmental agencies (e.g., U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION), (2) specific scientific professional groups (e.g., AMERICAN…

Abstract:
This research examined whether increased cognitive task loading decreases warning compliance behavior. Participants performed a task in which they installed an external disk drive to a computer. Inside the accompanying owner's manual were a set of specific procedures that were to be followed during the installation to avoid damaging the equipment (i.e., to tum off…
