16. Abstract ..

The study is in two.volumes, the first dealing with adults aged 18-55, thesecond with high school youth. Both identify target populations and communicationsstrategies for encouraging personal action steps to prevent drunk dri\ing.

Fully 470 of adult Americans participate at least once a month in socialor business situations where alcohol is served; they are termed ARS-Involved.This group has the potential for controlling drinking or restraining drunk drivers.The types of measures they are willing to 'take are restricted to friends andrelatives, and include offer to drive, invite to stay over, call a taxi and serve.food with liquor to reduce intoxication.

.

Adults seem less able to recognize impairment in others, but are quite willingto act. They have several misperceptions about causes and solutions of impairment.More than 60 percent mistakenly believe that a can of, beer or a drink of wineis less intoxicating than an average drink of liquor.

Findings are_ recommendations are based on a national probability sampleof 1,600 adults. Target populations for advertising are differentiated on thebasis of life styles and personality profiles.

BACKGROUND

Nearly 55,000 people are killed annually on our nation's highways. About

half of these fatalities are in accidents.caused by the drunk driver.

The economic cost of drunk driver accidents is estimated to total in the

area of 6.4 billion .dollars annually.

Growing concern about the drunk driving problem prompted the U.S.

Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Admin-

istration to embark upon a high priority program to combat it. Early in

1971, NHTSA, working with Grey Advertising, Inc., New York, under a

. noprofit, costreimbursement contract, launched an extensive three

year public information/communications effort.

As the program got under way, it was clear that the general population had

no awareness or understanding either of the extent of the problem or of

its major cause, since all previous public education programs had com-

municated broadly a "don't drink and drive" message advice which was

too often ignored.

The core of the problem was the relatively small number (8 million) of

problem drinkers. Because, realistically, the general public (118 million

licensed drivers) frequently drives after moderate drinking, the program's

initial objectives were limited to communicating two basic facts:

The problem drinker who drives is the major element of the

drunk driving problem.

. The problem of drunk driving is pervasive in our society.

The communication targets were two:

. The general public

. Key "influentials", i.e., those professional groups law

enforcement, legal and medical which could be most

effective in combating the situation.

The result was a highly integrated communications and action .)f fort,

utilizing the major forms of advertising media and public ti%:ormation..

In addition, special messages were directed at selected population groups

who were difficult to reach via regular language, idioms or media channels:

. Ethnic groups

. Youth

OBJECTIVES

As part of the second phase of the program, in order to measure the prog-

ress made to date and to develop strategy and approaches for future

efforts, it became apparent that there was a need to do some major basic

consumer research. The objectives of the research were:

To measure the accomplishments of the program 1 tp date.

. To know what actions people were willing to take to stop

the drunk from driving, and

. What types of people were willing to take what kinds of

actions, in order to best focus future public education

efforts.

Early in 1974, NHTSA directed Grey Advertising, Inc. to do the necessary

research. The assignment was to conduct major and comprehensive research

among high school youth and adults, focusing on involvement in potential

drinking and driving situations, and the attitudes of both groups about

drunk driving action.

To answer these questions, Grey undertook two major research studies:

An Adult Study results reported in this aocurnent.

. A (align Schoo, Youth Study-- reported in a separate document.

METHOD

For the adult population a twophase research program was initiated:

I. EXPLORATION: To develop the measurement tool

. Review of Existing Data

Relevant data sources were reviewed to gain insight into

the problem and to\help develop apKopriate screening

questions for the Incidence Check.

Ipcidence Check

An "incidence study" was conducted by a national telephone

probability sample among 507 adults, 21 to 60 years old,

to establish the frequency of social and business alcohol

related situations.

Qualitative Deiielopment

The purpose of this stage was to develop nypotheses to be

tested in the-main Measurement Phase. in addition, it

provided us with input as to the correct language to be

used in the Fact, AttitUde and Potential Countermeasure

batteries in the Measurement Phase Questionnaire.

HIGHLIGHTS

WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED BY NHTSA'S. PAST COMMUNICATIONS EFFORTS?

Significant progress has been made since 1971 when the NHTSA publicinformation program began in increasing people's awareness of the drunkdriving problem. It is now seen as a key social issue in the U.S. Over

threequarters of adults rate drunk driving as an "extremely" or "very"important problem. They see it as only slightly less vital than such

major issues as corruption in government (83%) and inflation (82%).(It is important to note that this study was conducted during the summer

of 1974, a period when coverage of Watergate and the economy domi-

nated the news in the press'and on the airwaves.) In fact, drunk driving

is now considered by many to be`a more important problem than issueslike pollution of the environment (69%), alcoholism (67%), the energycrisis (65%) or racial conflicts (50%).

Significant increases have also been registered in the numbers of peoplewho realize that problem drinkers cause more fatal accidents than

social drinkers. Four year's ago less than half (47%),of all adults were

aware of 'this fact; today 59% are, a relative gain of 26%.

There is another very important manifestation of increased popular

understanding about the magnitude of the drunk driver problem. Thatis the very marked rise in the public readiness to pay higher taxes to

support law enforcement programs aimed at coping with drunk driving.In 1970, 58% of the people indicated their support for law enforce-

ment approaches funded by increased taxes. By 1974, this numberhad grown to 85%, a significant proportional increase of 47%.

In addition to evaluating the accomplishments of NHTSA s communica-

tions efforts to date and determining where public attitudes currently

stand, the study was designed to obtain researrhguidancefor deter-

mining future countermeasure strategies and the best means of

communicating them. This is extremely important-fer-the-public------

service advertiser who isn't in a position to target his media, but who

must target his message so as to aid in capturingthe attention of

relevant members of the public. The remainder of the presentation

deals' with' these issues.

"MARKET DEFINITION

. Social drinking is a common pattern of behavior indulged in frequently

by a 'd crosssection of the public: Fully 54% of Americans between

the ..iges of 18 and 55 participate at least once a month in social or

business situations where alcohol is served; they are termed Adult

ARSInvolved.

The ARSInvolved group has by far the greatest opportunity to stop

drunken driving, since they are actively involved in fully 87% of the

instances where it could occur. Those'most likely to be present at ARS

I nvolved situations are those with the most potential for restraining

other drunk drivers. In addition, they are most likely to be in a posi-

tion,themselves, if drunk, of needing to accept similar restraint. They

are not just innocent bystanders, but are present and actively involved

at the times and places when and where drunk driving is most likely

to start.

Although this group draws from all ages, education levelsincomes,

occupations, both sexes and all regions of the country, there are some

vIriations from the national population.

demographically, they tend to skew siightly younger and more

male. They are alio more upscale, and less Southern.

psychographically, they are more independent, selfassured

and willing to help eir close friends but not others. Thee.

are apt to use th r own judgement in deciding what to do

and not to rely on the letter of law for direction.

attitudinally4 they tend to be more positive about icohol

than do others.

behaviorally, they are more apt to be drinkers, and to drink

more when they do drink. In an average week, 60% of theM

drink at least once a week. Almost onefifth drink on five

days or more, and when they are at alcohol;--related social

(AR occasions, many drink a lot 70% say they consume

from three to nine drinks at such affairs.

HOW DID WE DETERMINE THE PERSONALITY PROFILEOF THE ARS INVOLVED. INDIVIDUAL?

The personality description was prep4red by Grey's consulting

psychologist using information derived from a list of 22 self

administered personality inventory ratings obtained frdm each person

in the study.

In order to assure an unbiased analysis of the personalities involved,

inde6endent of their demographic and attitudinal characteristics, the

psychologist was given only the psychological data shown.

THE PERSONALITY PROFILE OF THEARSINVOLVED INDIVIDUAL

As compared with other adults in the population, the ARSInvolved

individual is more selfassured and less apt to depend on others for

recognition and approval.

While he is a friendly and sociable individual who will not hesitate to get

involved and take action in relevant situations, his willingness to be sup-

rportive of others is more limited to those dose to him. He is not as con-

cerned with being helpful to those beyond his immediate circle.

In terms of the action which he can be expected to take, he will be

guided by his own judgement in the immediate situation, and will not

be strongly influenced by the law, per se.

HIGHLIGHTS

RECOGNITION OF THE POTENTIAL DWI SITUATION

Almost all ARS=Involved individuals participate in social drinking

situations, for the most part consisting of drinking in mixed company.

The majority of drinking situations take place in the home their

own or though an important minority (40%) occur in public

places.

It is not reluctance to take action, get involved or interfere, that inhibits

the majority of people from trying to prevent someone who has been

drinking too heavily from getting behind the wheel. Rather it sterns

from their difficulty in identifying the potential drunk driver and then

knowing what to do.

Among ARSInvolved adults, when asked if they had found

themselves in a potential drunkdriving situation during the

past year, a large majority (57%) did not feel that they had.

Given the group's regular pattern of weekly frequency of

drinking and the large amounts of alcohol consumed over a

year's time, this was obviously a statistical impossibility.

They simply had not perceived themselves to be involved in

this type of problem, probably in large part because they

didn't recognize it.

In faqt, people realize they often don't know how to tell

when' others are drunk. For example, 70% of people know

that "a person can be drunk and still not stagger or slur his

speech." And only 39% think it is easy to tell if a person is

drunk, even if you don't know him well.

38

Page 39: DOCUMENT RESUME ED 1 3 335 CE 005 733 · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 1 3 335 CE 005 733. TITLE. Communications Strategies on Alcohol and Highway Safety. Volume I. Adults 18-55. Final Report.

34

Further, they do not know,what to do when faced with a drunk

driver prospect. This is due to the many popular misconcep-

tions about impairment of driving ability due to alcohol. They

include the beliefs (incorrect) that: "mixing different kinds of

drinks can increase the effect of alcohol" (80%); "a can of

beer (or a glass of wine) isi.less intoxicating than an average

drink of liquor" (70%); "a cold shower"(68%) or "drilling

black coffee" (52%) can "sober a person up."

However, once ARSInvolved adults perceived they were in a possible

drunk driver situation, three out of four took action to forestall it.

the actions which were taken tended mainly to be with close

friends or relatives, both in home and public drinking

environments.

the actions which were taken tended ,to involve driving, rather

than other types of afterthefact countermeasures. Physical

actions of restraint were taken by only one out of five of

these ARSInvolved persons.

those ARSInvolved individuals who did not take action failed

to do so mainly because they didn't know how to cope with

the situation.

DEVELOPMENT OF COUNTERMEASURE DIMENSIONS

The 21 countermeasure dimensions reported on in this study were devel-

oped in the following manner:

First, a list of five personal action countermeasures which our preliminary

work indicated were most viable or desirable were combined with three

location variables and three relationship variables.

COUNTERMEASURES

Make the suggest on that you drive him home.

Suggest that ther stay overnight at your home.

Try to take their car keys away.

Physically restrain them.

When other measures fail, call the police.

LOCATIONS

In your home.

In a friend's home.

In a bar or public drinking place.

RELATIONSHIP

A close friend or relative.

A casual acquaintance.

Someone you just met.

44

This 5x3x3 matrix permitted us to get ratings on the likelihood to take

action on 45 countermeasurePocation/relationship situations. These

ratings were obtained on a selfadministered basis using a 6 point

"Likelihood Of Doing" sale (from "Extremely Likely" to "Not At All

Likely").

In addition to the 45 immediate actions, "Likelihood To Take Action"

ratings were also obtained on the same 6 point scale for 15 additional

countermeasures which were not divided by person or piece. These were

preplanning measures rather than afterthefact.

The 60 (45 + 15) countermeasures and countermeasure situations were

then computer factor analyzed on the basis of the willingness that people

had shown, to take them. Factor analysis is a statistical technique which

examines correlations between variables and objectively groups them on

this basis, in this case clustering similar sets of actions people will take.

Additionally, the factors were examined based on rating patterns and

further refined using marketing judgements to produce the final

structure.

Using this analysis we have been able to reduce the list of countermeasures

to 21 dimensions, each representing a different set of actions. For pur-

poses of this presentation we have divided these into two groups.

12 immediate action countermeasures

. 9 preplanning or general countermeasures

These 21 countermeasures contain within themselves all of the original

60 elements."

For a more detailed analysis of the specific procedure see theTechnical Appendix.

HIGHLIGHTS

MARKET COUNTERMEASURE POTENTIAL

. While the ARSInvolved group shows a high degree of willingness to

take certain countermeasures in general, immediate action measures are

more likely to be considered than preplanning measures. The two

countermeasures showing highest potential are:

offering to drive a close friend or relative

offering to let a close friend or relative stay over.

. They are less likely to take'physical actions or those involving someone

other than a close friend or relative.

. They are not likely to call the police, even as a last resort.

. Of the preplanning countermeasures, only one offered high potential.

plan to serve food with drinks at a party.

Page 61: DOCUMENT RESUME ED 1 3 335 CE 005 733 · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 1 3 335 CE 005 733. TITLE. Communications Strategies on Alcohol and Highway Safety. Volume I. Adults 18-55. Final Report.

Potential for countermeasure action is limited when the drunk is

characterized as a problem drinker.

only 48% of the ARSInvolved adults say they know

or come in contact with a problem drinker,

people are less likely to take physical action counter-

measures against the problem drinker, or offer to let

him stay over.

the image most people have of a problem drinker is

one of deepseated physical and emotional difficulties,

far beyond that which can be affected in a social

situation.

Recognition that a possible result of drunk driving is an accident where

someone is killed or seriously maimed is far from universal. This is

particularly true when the DWI is a social drinker. However, when death

or serious injury is believed to be a probable outcome of DWI, likelihood

to take countermeasures is enhanced.

RATIONALE FOR GROUPING ARSINVOLVEDPEOPLE ACCORDING TO COUNTERMEASURES

For public service advertisers like NFITSAvvhose possibilities for mediaselection are limited, targeting by message selection and tone of voice areparticularly crucial. Traditionally, markets have been subdivided on thebasis of consumer demographics or other characteristics such as behavior.Such market divisions are Severely limited in their marketing utility in thatthey usually provide no guidance on the crucial issue of what to say toconsumers.in the communication efforts in order to persuade them to act.

It can be shown, however, that attitudes determine behavior.* Therefore,they represent a more viable basis for grouping consumers and targetingcommunication efforts within the total market. We have already examinedthe countermeasure attitudes held by the ARSInvolved as a whole.Further segmentation based on these countermeasures enabled us todetermine which subgroups existed within the total ARSInvolved, andwhat different sets of countermeasure actions they were willing to take.In addition, we were able to describe these groups based on their demo-graphic, psychological, behavioral and alcohol attitude characteristics.

APPROACH USED TO SEGMENTARS INVOLVED INDIVIDUALS

16 order to segment ARS-- Involved people on the basis of sets of counter-

measures they are willing to take, "Q" Segmertation analysis was per____

formed'on countermeasure responses to isolate and group people whose

sets of countermeasure responses werahigniy similar.*

Four distinct segments of ARSInvolved individuals were obtained on thebasis of sets of countermeasure potential common within each group.

To more completely onde..-mnd these croups, the segments were further

described in terms of their:

. Demographic char&ctewitic7

. Personality profiles

. ARS and drinking ben3vior

. Alcohol attitudes and knowiedv,.

We then named these segments 17,;-1 of totality o'this information.

WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE IN SEGMENT A LIKE?

Segment A is the largest single segment in the ARSInvolved group,

accounting for 43% of the individuals and 46% of the total ARS occasions.

Though more passive than other groups, this segment is willing to offer to

drive (not just close friends and relatives), invite someone to stay over, or

call a taxi if it is the socially acceptable thing to do. Beyond these

immediate actions, trey will pre-plan to serve food at social occasions

where alcohol is being served. This group, however, is strongly differen-

tiated by its retative passivity in that they are much less willing than others

to consider countermeasures involving physical restraint of even their close

friends and relatives.

Socio-demographically, Segment A is about equally divided between males

and females in the 20 to 45 year age range. They are generally well edu-

cated and earn better than average incomes, with more than two thirds

making $10,000 or more. Nearly half hold white collar jobs, with pro-

-fessional occupations being held by more than a third.

The alcohol attitudes and knowledge of this segment are fairly typical of all

the ARSinvolved, though they are less likely to believe that people who

drink are morallywveak. Also, they are somewhat less knowledgeable about

the magnitude of dlcohol-caused traffic deaths and the role of the problem

drinker.

In terms of behavior, they are frequently involved in theARS situation,

with more than half of the occasions of their invuivenient being in a home

environment. While social occasions accountfor the majority of their ARS

involvement, they are slightly more often apt to drink in business situations,

presumably because of their higher level of professionalemployment. When

they are in ARS situations, Segment A respondents (like other ARS-In-volved individuals) themselves drink moderately heavily.

Segment A individuals perceived themselves to have been in a potential

DWI situation and have reported taking action at levels similar to the total----ARS-Involved group. They are sli btly less likely to know a problem

drinker and less likely to take act /on (other than driving) if the potentiali

DWI is characterized as a "prob)em drinker.-

In terms of personality profile, Segment A respondents are characterized

mainly by their passivity and their need to conform to what is socially

acceptable. In situations which require action for reasons of social con

formity they would tend to act, but to rely on their own fixIgernent re-

garding the specific actions to take.

Because Segment A's willingness to get involved is so tied to their percep-

tion of what is the socially acceptable thing to do, we call them the -

SOCIAL CONFORMERS

WHAT IS THE PERSONALITY PROFILE OF SEGMENT A

The members of this group are generally satisfied, even complacent, v.iith

society as it is. rhay are passive, nonimpulsive persons who mind their

own affairs and would ,do what is expected of them socially, but little more.

They are not strongly motivated by their need for person& recognition

tbrough supportiv(iness of their friends or helpfulness of those Tess close to

them. Rather, they seek to avoid sitUations of personal confrontation.

They are motivated by a need for social conformity.

lh sum, they could be expected to take such actions which are considered

the socialiy accei,tabie -things to do", but they would do little more. In

those siluations where they would act, they would tend to rely on their

own judgemen-: of yvtacn actions to take.

'WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE IN SEGMENT B LIKE?

Segment B is the second largest group accounting for 27% of the ARS

group and 32% of the total occasions. The sets of actions that Segment B

is willing to take mainly involve restraining their friends whose driving

ability has been impaired by drinking. They are aggressive and motivated

mainly by strong feelings of friendship. Thus, in addition to their willing

ness to take driving and stay-over countermeasures they, more than others,

will physically restrain their close friends and relatives from driving and will

take their keys away.

In terms of pre-planning countermeasures, Segment @ members show substantially lower potential than other ARSInvolved members on any ae

tions. While still moderately willing to do so, they would be less likely

than others even to serve food at parties.

Demographically, this segment is a predominantly male group with males

outnumbering females by a two-to-one margin. This is also a young group

with three out of four of its members under 35 years of age. This segment

is slightly less upscale than others in the AS group with about two-thirds

having incomes of less than $15,000, with one-third haVing attended college.

Membersof this group can be found in all regions of the country, but they

tend to be overrepresented in the Northeast. /

The alcohol attitudes of Segment B can be described as even mop "pro"

drinking, than those of other ARS Involved adults. They belieVe less that

parents should discoupge teens from drinking, that strict law enforcement

should be supported by higher taxes and that a few drinks are not danger-,

ous when driving. They are also somewhat more susceptible to the common

misperceptions about intoxication and the sobering-up process.

More than other ARSInvolved individuals, members of Segment B per-

ceived they had been in a potential DWI situation, and more of them took

action. They tend to know problem drinkers more than do others and are

slightly less inhibited abor taking countermeasures against them.

The members of this segment are in the ARS situation more frequentiy.than

others in the ARS group, with one-third of them involved two or more

times per week, and half of their ARS occasions being in the home. They

are heavier drinkers than others in the ARS group over two-thirds

having four or more drinks in an average social situation. In terms of bev-

erage drunk most frequently, they have a much higher preference for beer,

with over two-thirds indicating it is their most frequent choice.

Their personality p'rocil)R suggests that their primary motivation for acting

is friendship and affiliation. They are strongly motivated to act on behalf

of their own group members, but not on the basis of broader social ,

conscience. They are not only more impulsive but are highly aggressive end

dominant persons who throw caution' to the wind when confronted with

the potential DWI situation. Thus, they will go so fares to physically

restrain their friends from involvement in such situations when necessary.

Because of. their aggressive personality and willingness to restrain their

friends, even physically, when confronted with the DWI situation, we call

them the

AGGRESSIVE RESTRAINERS

WHAT IS THE PERSONALITY PROFILE OF SEGMENT B?

In many respects these individuals are the exact antithesis of the Social

Conformers. They are likely to move around in groups and are strongly

vated by their sense of friendship and affiliation.

Within their own social circle they are likely to intervene actively and

display a very protective role toward fellow group members. They are

unlikely to go to the assistance or support of others who are not memberi

of their own in-group, howevir. Notiurprisingly they tend to be rather

apathetic toward the values of the society in which they live and they(

exhibit little concern about what others beyond their own group think of

them.

They are given to making decisions on impulse and have a distinct tende cy

.towards aggressiveness and self-assertiveness. This can make them willin

to take aggressive action when confronted with danger.

WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE IN SEGMENT C LIKE?

This is the second smallest segment accounting for only 18% of the ARS

Involved group and 13% of the occasions.

People in this segment are differentiated from other ARSInvolved groups

by their greater willingness to pre-plan and thus avoid the potential OWI

problem. They are much less likely than others to further take action

after drunkenness has taken place.

This is a predominantly female segment (56%) with one-third of its Mem

bers living in the South. They are slightly older with nearly half of #tem

over 35 years old. In addition, their household; income is substantially

below others in.the ARSInvolved group with nearly two-thirds of them

having incomes of less than $15,000.

Their al ohol attitudes are much less popitive than other A Involvecl

adult tut they are equally subject to the common misperceptions. They

are le likely to haVe been in potential DWI situations and are somewhat

less Ilkely to have taken any action when confronted with it. They tend to

know problem drinkers slightly more than others, and their likelihood to

take/countermeasure action is further reduced by focusing on the problem

drinker.

Seg ent C members are less frequently involved in the ARS situation, with

80% involved once a week or less. They are fight drinkers with two-thirds

having three or less drinks on an average social occasion.

The segment's personality is quiet and nonassertive. They are much more

cautious than other members of the ARS, group which explains their

greater tendency to want to plan ahead to avoid potentially harmful

. situations.

Because of the passivenature of their personality and their high willingness

to perform pre-planning countermeasures, we call them the

CAUTIOUS PREPLANNERS

WHAT IS THE PERSONALITY PROFILE OF SEGMENT C?

The members of this segment tend to be quiet, non.self-assertive individuals, .

who are, to some extent, "lobers". They are likely to be less than com

pleteiy satisfied with contempOrary American society and are likely to be

-"\ critical ofpany elements in it.

Their unwillingness to assert themselves would tend t_ them fairly

law abiding jndividuals, partly because they do not:want to attract :7

attention to themselves, and partly because they prefer to avoid situations

which involve any kind of risk or danger.

t. They would b unlikely to seek any active form of restrainttin hanpling

other people's problems, but they do feel some sense of responsibility and,

therefore, might be exp ted to act in a More passive manner to avoid the

problem.

WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE IN SEGMENT D LIKE?

.

This is the smallest segment of the AOSInvolved group accounting for 12%

of the people and only 9% of the occasions.

Though they pare highly likely to use all kinds ofcouhtermeasures, the set of

actions which distinguishes this group involves their willingness to resort to

legal measures, such as, calling the police to prevent DWI and reporting sales

of alcoholic beverages to minors. They also have above average tendencies

to perform most other pre-planning and immediaie action countermeasures

including physical restraint of close friends or relatives.

This group has a higher representation'of females (56%), and is slightly

older with 40% of its members over 35. In terms of socio-economic status,

three-quarters of them are in households with incomes over SI0,000,

though the majority have less than a college education (67%).

They are somewhat more negative toward alcohol, especially as it involves

teen drinking, and tend more to believe that people who drink are morally

weak. This segment, more than any other, understands the role of the

problem drinker IA traffic fatalities.

Segment D individuals have the lowest incidence of perceived potential'

DWI occasions among the ARS adults, but when they did find themselves

in the situation, almost 9 out of .10 took action. Although their personal

knowledge of pyoblem drinkers is average for ARSInvolved adults, the

likelihood of/calling the police (already high) is greatly increased when the

subject is characterized as a problem drinker.

As might be expected, ihey.are less frequently involved in the ARS

situation and are lighter drinkers than others in the ARS group. This is

the only segment where liquor rather than beer is the most popular

alcoholic beverage.

Their willingness to act results from a personality that is extremely

cautious. They have a very high respect for the law and wish to gain

social apprbval, presumably through resorting to legal measures.

Because of their willingness to take legal countermeasures of all kinds and .

especially to resort to legal measures, we call tkem the

LEGAL ENFORCE1i1S

I'.

WHAT IS THE PERSONALITY PROFILE OF SEGMENTD?

This group of people consists of relatively cautious individuals who

exhibit a very high degree of concern with their own.and other people's

physical safety. At the same time they display a highly developed social

conscience and feel a moral imperative to assist others who areik

difficulty. They alto want to ensure that their own behavior, as well as

that of others, is kept within the bounds of the law.

However, it should be noted that their motivation is not, entirely altruistic

in that they have a well-developed concern about wht others t)ink of them.

Thus, to some extent, their desire to help others is perceived,as a method of

gaining social approval.

KEY FINDINGS

Frequent social drinking is a mass phenomenon among U.S. adults,

with fully 54% of them participating in alcohol related situations at

least once a month. This group of ARSInvolved adults offers an

important opportunity asnthe target for NHTSA's mass communications

efforts, as they account for over 85% of the potential DWI situations.

2. The key problems inhibiting countermeasures action behavior by ARS

adults are :

" their inability to recognize impairment in others

their failure to knOw what to do

Once they do recc.Ignize impairment, they are quite willing*to act.

3. There are several misconceptions and myths which are contributiiigv

to the-lack of recognition of potential DWI situations. Among these

are the underestimation of the potency of beer and wine, the failure

to relate a'person's size to alcohol capacity, the belief that sticking to

one type of liquor is.less intoxicating, and that black coffee and cold

showers sober one up.

4. Efforts to increase social responsibility for curbing drunk driving must

go beyond focusing solely 6n the problem drirtiker. There is a much

'9reater opportunity to attact the problem on a broader scale, rather

than limiting the focus to the problem drinker lone.

Less than'half of the ARS tnvolved adults know anyone

they charaCterize asp problem drinker.

Most people see the problem drinker's pr blem tdbe much

more deep-seated, far beyond what can be asily affected in a

social situation. They, therefore, don't takection to stop him

because they don't feel competent to do so. \a majority of ARS--Involved adults believk the

problem drinker i addicted to alcohol, doesn't

recognize his problem and needs psychiatric care.

-- they are even less likely to take physicai action to

prevent a problem drinker than they would be

with a social drinker.

Belief that drunk driving will result in a serious accideht IS far from

universal. On the other hand, recognition of this as a likely outcome

increases a person's willingness to take countermeasures.

6. Countermeasures are highly likely to be taken only for-dpse friends

or relatives. People are unlikely to act for casual acquaintances or

strangers. The key countermeasures tend to be in the immediate

action category, not pre. planning, although serving food with drinks

does have high potential. The types of countermeasures people are

likely to take are:

Offer to drive home

Offer to let stay over

Call a taxi

Tlie target for NHTSA can be further refined by understanding that

there are sets of actions cerltaingroups are highly-willing to take. The

ARS I nvolved divides into four countermeasure segments whcr are

,rnpbrtantly differentiate from aach other. Two of these segments

rep/resent significant potential ta.-gets for NHTSA communications

forts.

IMPLICATIONS

1. SHOULD NHTSA TARGET ITS COUNTERMEASURECOMMUNICATIONS EFFORTS TO ALL ADULTS, ORTO A PARTICULAR GROUP WITHIN THE POPULATION?

NHTSA communications should be directed at the ARSInvolved group.

. The ARSInvolved group represents nearly all of the total

potential DWI situations.

They are highly differentiated from the non-involved group

demographically, psychologically and behaviorally. Thus,

any attempts to communicate to both groups simultaneously

Will necessarily weaken and diffuse the impact on the ARS

I nvolved:

. They have demonstrated a basic willingness to take counter

measure'actions when they believed the situation called for it.

2. ARE THERE SEGMENTS WITHIN THE ARSINVOLVED,GROUP FOR WHOM SPECIFIC, STRATEGIES SHOULD

BE DEVELOPED?

There are two countermeasure segments, the SOCIAL CONFORMERS and

the AGGRESSIVE RESTRAINERS, for whom different strategies and

advertising executions should be develoried, as these groups:

. Represent the vast majority of all ARS occasions and

ARSInvolved individuals.

Are sufficiently different from each other to require

separate communications approaches.

135.

150

Page 156: DOCUMENT RESUME ED 1 3 335 CE 005 733 · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 1 3 335 CE 005 733. TITLE. Communications Strategies on Alcohol and Highway Safety. Volume I. Adults 18-55. Final Report.

151

The remaining two segments should not be targeted

for specific communications. They are too'small, both

in terms of the numbers of people they include (18%

and 12%), and the proportion of ARS occasions they

represent (13% and 9% respectively).

the CAUTIOUS PREPLANNERS are basically

unwilling to take any immediate action measures

and are already involved in the planning types of

Measures.

the LEGAL ENFORCERS have such a high will-

ingness to take most, actions and are so attuned

to the problem, they will probably pick up the

message concerning identification of the impaired

individual even if it is not specifically targeted at

them.

Furthermore, the messages directed towards the two major

segments, while not likely to flag the specific attention of

these smaller segments, would still represent relevant mes-

sages with no risk of alienation.

3. WHAT SHOULD BE NHTSA'S COMMUNICATIONSOBJECTIVES?

NHTSA's communications objectives should be two-fold.

A. The first objective is to educate an ARSInvolved individual:

correct misconceptions about impairment

heighten awareness and sensitivity about

situations where impairment is likely to

occur

B. The second objective is to persuade people to take those

countermeasures which have the highest potential for action.

153

4. WHAT SHOULD BE THE STRATEGY FORTHE "SOCIAL CONFORMER" SEGMENT?

The strategy for the "Social Conformer" segment should encompass the

following elements:

OBJECTWES

., Correct misconception/myths about impairment.

He!ghten awareness and sensitize people to situations

where impairment is likely to occur.

. Persuade people to take those countermeasures which

have the highest potential for action.

TARGET

,The SOCIAL CONFORMER a generally passive group who

express a high willingness to drive anyone who is im

paired if they feel that this is the socially acceptable

action. They are married, upscale men and women

over 25 years old from white collar backgrounds.

MUTIVATING FACTORS

. Social Conformity Conformity to social expectations

as a well regarded member of society dictates that people

who are impaired must be prevented from driving.

Outcome Letting a person who is impaired drive can re

sult in an accident in which someone is killed or seriously

injured especially an innocent person.

MOST LIKELY ACTION

. Offer to drive

. Offer to let them stay over

. Offer to call a taxi

. Serve food with the drinks

FOCUS OF ACTION

. Any close friend or relative who has had too much

to drink (not just a problem drinker).

SETTING

. At home, upper middle class, young and middle aged

couples.

TONALITY

. Sanction giving help and receiving help in alcohol

related situations.

5. WHAT SHOULD BE THE STRATEGY FORTHE "AGRESSIVE RESTRAINER" SEGMENT?

The strategy for the "Agressive Restrainer" segment should encompass the

followiny elements:

OBJECTIVES

Correct misconceptionsimyths about impairment.

Heighten awareness and sensitize people-to situations

wpere impairment is likely to occur.

'Persuade people to take those countermeasures which

have the highest potential for action.

TARGET

The AGGRESSIVE RESTRAINERS aggressive

personalities who are willing to restrain friends, even

physically. They are predominantly men, high school

educated, under 35 from middle income backgrounds.

MOTIVATING FACTORS

. Camaraderie Valuing .a feeling of close camaraderie

for friends dictates that friends who are impaired must

be kept from driving.

. Outcome Letting a person who is impaired drive can

result in an accident in which someone is killed or

seriously injured especially an innocent person.

MOST LIKELY ACTION

. Offer to drive

. Offer to let them stay over

. Take the keys away or physically restrain

' Confidence intervals have been corrected for sampling efficiency after weighting.

!.!oie: To estimate whether or .not the difference between two percentages from different

bases is significant, add and subtract the indicated variance from each. If

the resulting ranges intersect (overlap) the difference is probably not significant

(19 chances out of-20), if they do not 'intersect the difference is probably

significant.

Example

The percent of Total Sample who currently drink alcoholic beverages is 65%. Among

ARS-Involved adults this percent is 87%. The.calculation is done as follows.

65% ± 2.8 = 62.2% - 67.8%87% ± 2.3 = 84.7% - 89.3%

The two ranges do not overlap, therefore -the difference is probably significan

EXample

28% of the Total Sample is under 24 years. The figure for ARS-Involved is 31%.

.

28% ± = 25.3% - 30.7%31% ±:3.6 F 27.4% 34.6%

The rafiges do overlap, the difference is not significant.

"R" FACTOR - ANALYSIS

This form of factor analysis is a statisbcal technique which.examines

correlations between variables. It objectively groups those concepts

which are associated with one another (i.e. rate similarly) into

factors or dimensions.

The procedure for determining the dimensions in this study involved:

1 The Countermeasure Lists - 45 Immediate Action/Relationship/

Location countermea.iiires plus 15 pre-planning or general counter-

measures -'a total of 60. 'The ARS-Involved respondents rated each ,.

of the 60 countermeasure on a six-point scale according to how

like:y he was to do th countermeasure -- "extremely",. "very ",

"quite", "rather", " of too", or "not at all".

2. Factor Analysis the ratings were analyzed on a computer* t

isolateand group those actions highly correlated with one another-

and which represent a single evaluative aspect or countermeasure

factc-.

* The "R" and "Q" analyses were developed -'from Grey proprietary programsthat utilize a printipal component solution.that was sub,quentlyrotated using the Varimax procedure, The mathematical routines iyere

obtained from BMD 03M series, June, 1970; Bio-mdical Computer Prograr,University of California Press.

"Q".SEGMENTATION ANALYSIS

Thi,. form of factor analysis is a statistical technique which examines

correlations.between individuals based on the countermeasures they have'

rated.

This compute: operation places individuals into homogeneous groups in

terms of how similar their patterns of response are.

To do this,"Q" segmentations of three, four and five groups were analyzed

for clarity and consistency. In order to select one of these three

possibilities into which to segment the market, top box scores for the

60 countermeasures and average scores for the 2T factors were compared

within each possibility, segment by segment.

As _a rtsult of this detailed comparison among the alternative possibilities

it was concluded that a segMentation solution of four groups would be most

helpful in understanding the nature of the Market for countermeasures.

APPENDIX H

VALIDATION OF "Q" ANALYSIS

The "Q" Analysis Was validated by predicting "Q" group oembership using

the 60 countermeasures in a discriminant function analysis*.

If a high proportion of the respondents are properly classified into

their respective "Q" groups, the discriminant function validates the

-segmentation analysis.

The following table indicates a high degree of predictability for the

four-group segmentation:

APPENDIX I

DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONALITY SCORES

aThe procedure for the analysis of the psychological data was carried

out in the following three steps, which are discussed in detail

\below:

Computation of factor scores.

.Ass7ghment of respondents into high, medium and low factor

score groups.

. Computation of differences between the segments.

f-

The first step is to assign a weight to each point within the rating

scale. 3ecause a 4-point rating scale was used in this' study

weight from one to four was given to each statement depending on how

it was rated; a weight of 4 for top-box, a weight of 3 for the

second box, a weight of 2 for the third box, and a weight of 1 for

the bottom box.

, .

Next, tie scores for each statement within a factor were gadded up in

order to obtain a score for each psychological factor. Thus, if a

factor had two statements, the score for the factor ranged from a

minimum of 2 to a maximum of 8.

DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONALITY SCORES (CONTIU)

2. Assignment of respondents into high, medium and'lowJactor

score groups:

Based on the percent of respondents who scored 8, 7, 6, 5, 4,

3, 2, for a given factor'- (which totals to 100% for each factor),

each factor is then divided, as evenly as possible, into 3

equal groups of thirds. See an example below:

The group trat includes the highest scores 8, 7, etc. is designated

the "high" group, the group with the lowest scores 4, 3, 2, etc.

becomes the "low" group, etc.

DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONALITY SCORES (CONT'D)

3. Computation of differences between the segments:

The high, medium, and low divisions for each factor is then

carried over in a cross-tab for each. segment vs. the balance.

The final operations. are a difference computation. First, for

each factor the.percent in the low group is' subtracted from

the percent in the high group for each segment and balance score.

This yields the factor score for the segment'and balance.

Secondly, the factor score for the balance is subtracted from

the segment score to yield the profile score. For example.
