Mean scores (and standard deviations) for perceived safety, perceived risk and constrained behavior

Scores Mean (SD) score
Boys (n = 115) Girls (n = 155)
 Perceived Safety
 
 
 Road safetya
− 1.0 (2.5)
− 1.1 (2.2)
 Incivilitiesb
− 1.8 (2.6)
− 2.0 (2.3)
 Personal safetyc

Perceived riskd

Constrained behavior
−5.6 (4.2)
−4.4 (5.2)
 Avoidance e
 
 
 Defensivef −6.6 (3.4) −6.3 (3.4)

a Range of possible values was −6 to 6. High scores indicate high levels of concern about road safety.

b Range of possible values was −8 to 8. High scores indicate high levels of concern about incivilities.

c Range of possible values was −10 to 10. High scores indicate that levels of personal safety are perceived to be high.

Low scores indicate high levels of concern about adolescent’s personal safety.

d Range of possible values was −6 to 6. Lower scores indicate lower levels of perceived risk.

e Range of possible values was −14 to 14. Lower scores indicate lower levels of avoidance behavior.

f Range of possible values was −14 to 14. Lower scores indicate lower levels of defensive behavior.
