Identifying what drivers know about the hazards of air bags to children
Year:
2001
204. Shaver, E. F., & Wogalter, M. S. (2001). Identifying what drivers know about the hazards of air bags to children. Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 45, 885-888.
Abstract:
The purpose of air bags is to prevent serious injury of occupants involved in vehicular accidents. Although lives have been saved by air bags, certain subpopulations have a greater risk for personal injury or death; namely, children and small-stature adults. The present research had two parts. The first was a survey in which participants were…

Incidental exposure to rotating warnings on alcoholic beverage labels
Year:
1994
76. Wogalter, M. S., & Brelsford, J. W. (1994). Incidental exposure to rotating warnings on alcoholic beverage labels. Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 38, 374-378.
Abstract:
No previous research has been published specifically aimed at determining the effectiveness of rotating warnings (as is required in the government-mandatedcigarette warnings). This issue has become relevant because decisions may be made with respect t o rotating warnings in print and broadcast alcoholic beverage advertisements, and perhaps for labels and ads for other products as…

Increased comprehension of warning pictorials with color highlighting
Year:
2011
331. McDougald, B. R., Wogalter, M. S. (2011). Increased comprehension of warning pictorials with color highlighting. Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 55, 1769-1772.
Abstract:
and nonvisible concepts are very difficult to communicate by symbols alone. Several studies in the human factors and ergonomics (HFE) literature have examined strategies to increase the comprehension of symbols (e.g., Gill, Barbera, & Precht, 1987; Rogers, Lamson, & Rousseau, 2000). These strategies include adding context and detail and increasing legibility. It is usually recommended…
Increased effectiveness of an interactive warning in a realistic incidental product-use situation
Year:
1995
82. Duffy, R. R., Kalsher, M. J., & Wogalter, M. S. (1995). Increased effectiveness of an interactive warning in a realistic incidental product-use situation. International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, 15, 159-166.
Abstract:
Information about hazards and safe use of products is often provided in warning labels. In recent years, researchers have been exploring factors that influence warning effectiveness. One promising design factor is an interactive label that requires manipulation by users before or during use of a product. In the present research, the effectiveness of two interactive…

Increasing the correct connection of car battery jumper cables with an enhanced tag warning
Year:
1994
79. Wogalter, M. S., & Kalsher, M. J. (1994). Increasing the correct connection of car battery jumper cables with an enhanced tag warning. Proceedings of Public Graphics. University of Utrecht, The Netherlands: Psychology Department.
Abstract:
Every year people are injured while improperly 'jump starting' automobiles using battery booster cables. The most common scenario leading to injury occurs when people attach both negative leads to the battery terminals instead of properly grounding the negative lead of the 'dead' battery to that vehicle's engine block. The incorrect configuration can cause the 'dead'…

Indirect warnings/instructions produce behavioral compliance
Year:
2010
322. Wogalter, M. S., & Feng, E. (2010). Indirect warnings/instructions produce behavioral compliance. Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing and Service Industries, 20, 500-510.
Abstract:
Most research on warnings assumes a direct flow of information from the source directly to receivers. Reading a manufacturer’s product label or manual are examples of directly received warnings. Some communications, however, involve one or more intervening entities (e.g., another person or organi- zation) that serve to convey warning information to the ultimate receiver. With…

Influence of food label quantifier terms on connoted amount and purchase intention
Year:
1996
103. Wogalter, M. S., Kalsher, M. J., & Litynski, D. M. (1996). Influence of food label quantifier terms on connoted amount and purchase intention. Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 40, 385-389.
Abstract:
Diane M. Litynski Marist College Poughkeepsie, NY 12601-1387 This research examined the influence of food label quantifier terms (e.g., Low, Reduced, and Free) on people's interpretation of implied quantity. Experiment 1 assessed people's perceptions (connotation) of eight terms to determine whether the terms convey distinct quantities. Results showed significant differences among the lowest quantity- connoting…

Year:
2006
269. Kalsher, M. J., & Wogalter, M. S. (2006). Influence of presentation modality on communication of pharmaceutical risk information in direct-to-consumer (DTC) television commercials. In R. N. Pikkar, E. A. P. Koningsveld, and P. J. M. Settels (Eds.), Proceedings of the XVIth Triennial International Ergonomics Association (pp. 5149-5154). Amsterdam: Elsevier (ISSN 0003-6870).
Abstract:
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) prescription drug advertising markets medications requiring a physician’s script to the general public. In the U.S., DTC prescription drug advertising includes risk disclosures (i.e., side effects and contraindications) in auditory (voice) or both auditory and visual (text) parts of the commercials. Little research has examined the factors that affect the communication of risk…

Injury likelihood and severity in warnings
Year:
1990
24. Wogalter, M. S., & Barlow, T. (1990). Injury likelihood and severity in warnings. Proceedings of the Human Factors Society, 34, 580-583.
Abstract:
Two experiments examined the influence of injury likelihood and severity in warnings on product hazard perceptions (Experiment 1) and behavioral compliance (Experiment 2). In Experiment 1, participants were given a set of front panel labels for 10 household consumer products. Warnings on the labels were constructed by manipulating the likelihood (low vs. high) and severity…
Intended carefulness for voiced warning signal words
Year:
1998
130. Barzegar, R. S., & Wogalter, M. S. (1998). Intended carefulness for voiced warning signal words. Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 42, 1068-1072.
Abstract:
Design standards for print warnings (e.g., signs and labels) recommend the use of signal words to convey the presence and level of a hazard. However, very little research has been conducted on the use of signal words presented auditorily. In the present study, 43 voiced signal words were examined as a function of several factors:…
Intended carefulness ratings for voice warning statements
Year:
2000
179. Barzegar, R. S., & Wogalter, M. S. (2000). Intended carefulness ratings for voice warning statements. Proceedings of the International Ergonomics Association & the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Congress, 44 (3), 686-689.
Abstract:
The parameters that affect the efficacy of voiced warnings have only recently begun to be investigated. The current study examines the effects on intended carefulness ratings for voiced warning statements considering the following factors: sex of speaker, sex of participant, voice style (monotone, emotional, whisper), and sound level (low, high). Warning statements voiced in the…

Settels (Eds.), Proceedings of the XVIth Triennial International Ergonomics Association (pp. 6535-6540). Amsterdam: Elsevier (ISSN 0003-6870).
Abstract:
Web users must rely on their own judgment to determine the validity and reliability of website information. The present research examined internet trust by evaluating student and non-student participant's beliefs about the credibility of information based on web domain names and whether participants could distinguish between the domain names of organizations that were actual or…
