H4. There is a negative association between students’ type A
personality and the reading and following of safety instructions.
In summary, the purpose of the present study is to better
understand which determinants predict students’ reading and following
safety instructions, in order to formulate recommendations
on how this behavior may be influenced. We expect that safety
attitude, safety norm, sensation-seeking and type A personality
precede students’ safety behavior, hence two data collections from
the same individuals were conducted. As such, the four abovementioned
predictors were administered twelve weeks before the
dependent variable (that is, reading and following safety
instructions).
