    Improving road safety in rural areas: An examination of the traffic safety climate in rural Wales
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Tekes, Burcu; Musselwhite, Charles; Bicaksiz, Pinar
    Although there is a body of research conducted on traffic safety and driver behaviors in the UK, studies on traffic safety climate, particularly in rural Wales, are limited. In this study, the effect of traffic safety climate in Wales on several driving-related characteristics was investigated and expected to find a difference between rural and urban Wales. The model investigated the moderator role of rural/urban areas on the relationship between traffic safety climate and driver behaviors, driver anger, anger expression, and driver risk. Using data from 346 participants, we found that drivers in rural areas perceive traffic as having more internal requirements, but also engage in more risk-taking, whereas drivers in urban areas score higher in aggressive violations and verbal aggressive expression. In the following steps, we found links between traffic safety climate and various driver-related outcomes, and this link differs across drivers living in rural and urban areas. These findings suggest the need for tailored strategies to address road safety in rural areas in Wales.

    Self-weighing and disordered eating among women: Exploring the moderating role of psychological resilience and self-compassion

    Background: Self-weighing is a common practice among women, often associated with both adaptive and maladaptive eating behaviours, yet its psychological implications remain unclear. Aim: This study aims to examine the potential moderating roles of psychological resilience and self-compassion in the relationship between self-weighing frequency and disordered eating behaviours among women. Method: The study sample consisted of 372 women with a mean age of 29.27 (SD = 7.24). The data were collected in T & uuml;rkiye using convenience sampling methods. Cross-sectional data were collected using a self-report questionnaire, which included the Self-Compassion Scale, the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire, and the Connor-Davidson Psychological Resilience Scale, along with a single item to measure self-weighing frequency. Results: Four distinct moderating effects between self-weighing frequency and cognitive restriction were found to be significant. The association of self-weighing frequency with cognitive restriction was significantly positive for those reporting low levels of tenacity and personal competence, psychological resilience, and self-compassion. At the same time, it was nonsignificant for those with high levels of tenacity and personal competence, psychological resilience, and self-compassion. The relationship between self-weighing frequency and cognitive restriction was significantly positive at both low and high levels of self-compassion, but this association was stronger for those with low self-compassion than for those with high self-compassion. Conclusion: These findings highlight the significance of considering psychological factors such as psychological resilience and self-compassion in understanding the relationship between self-weighing frequency and disordered eating behaviours. They suggest that these variables can modify the strength and direction of this relationship, emphasising the importance of addressing psychological resilience and self-compassion in interventions targeting disordered eating behaviours related to self-weighing frequency.
