Abstract:
This study advances the concept of “idiosyncratically coherent” sanction risk perception, whereby the absolute level risk varies over the full range of probabilities from zero to one but remains coherently grounded in objective conditions. The study is based upon the results of an experimental study involving speeding on an interstate highway. Respondents viewed videos from the driver’s perspective of a car traveling on an Interstate highway. We find that while sanctions risk and safety perceptions for speeding idiosyncratically vary across respondents, they remain grounded in a sensible fashion to objective conditions. We also find that citizen perceptions of apprehension risk are remarkably similar to risk estimates elicited from state troopers who viewed the same videos and were asked about the likelihood of a driver being cited for speeding in these circumstances. Moreover, intentions to speed are causally linked to the same situational features that are causally linked to sanction risk and safety perceptions with the implication that intentions to speed are systematically related to apprehension risk and safety perceptions.
