Recenzii
'Grounded in measurement theory but with numerous applications to the extant literature in traffic safety research, Prof. WÃ¥hlberg reminds us that the value of our scientific endeavors is only as good as our standards of evidence. This provocative work underscores the extent to which future advances in understanding and predicting safety outcomes rely on self-critical examination of the assumptions, methods, and analyses in which we drape our conclusions ... even when it becomes apparent that the emperor simply has no clothes.'

Descriere
This book discusses several methodological problems in traffic psychology which are not currently recognized as such. Summarizing and analyzing the available research, it is found that there are a number of commonly made assumptions about the validity of methods that have little backing, and that many basic problems have not been researched at all. Suggestions are made as to further studies that should be made to address some of these problems.
