Abstract:
Warning signs and label are sometimes used to control hazards. They are intended to convey information about products, equipment and environment dangers to protect people and property from injury and loss. Their actual implementation is usually through the use of ink on paper or paint on metal to produce static stickers and signs. However, new…
Gender differences in consumer product hazard perceptions
Year:
1989
23. Young, S. L., Martin, E. G., & Wogalter, M. S. (1989). Gender differences in consumer product hazard perceptions. Proceedings of Interface 89, 6, 73-78 (Human Factors Society).
Abstract:
The present research examined consumer product perceptions as a function of subject gender and product masculinity and femininity. Twenty.five males and 40 females rated 72 products on the dimensions of product masculinity/femininity, hazardousness, frequency of use, confidence in knowing the hazards, and knowledge of severe personal injury. The results indicate that there are gender differences…

Abstract:
A study was carried out using four measures of effectiveness to compare product warnings that are consistent with the American National Standards Institute Product Safety Signs and Labels standard (ANSI 2535.4) to warnings that are not consistent with the standard. Inconsistent warnings were based on the format of existing product warnings. Two warnings, consistent and…
