Målgruppen och budskapet : En modell för målgruppsanpassning av trafiksäkerhetsbudskap till unga manliga trafikanter
(1997) In Lund Studies in Media and Communcation 3.- Abstract
- The empirical work rests on two separate theoretical foundations: theories that form the basis for analyzing the different target groups and theories dealing with persuasion. Theories of the first sort concern life-style, individual values, perceived risk, individual characteristics and self-image. Earlier research on young car drivers is also relevant in this context. Theories on attitudes and attitude change and on persuasion and persuasive strategies, in turn, constitute the theoretical basis for work on how messages concerning traffic safety should be presented to different audiences. A series of closely related investigations were carried out, three of more central importance than the others. The first – a qualitative analysis of... (More)

Theories of the first sort concern life-style, individual values, perceived risk, individual characteristics and self-image. Earlier research on young car drivers is also relevant in this context. Theories on attitudes and attitude change and on persuasion and persuasive strategies, in turn, constitute the theoretical basis for work on how messages concerning traffic safety should be presented to different audiences. A series of closely related investigations were carried out, three of more central importance than the others. The first – a qualitative analysis of different target groups – involved fifty conversational interviews conducted with young men and women 18-24 years old. In the later quantitative study some 900 persons completed questionnaires. This sample consisted entirely young men, age 18-24. The third empirical study investigated how different messages appeal to different target groups. The main result of these studies was the classification of young male road-users in four target groups. These correspond to the four cells in a typology, the dimensions of which are attitude toward speeding and view regarding the primary source of risk. The four ideal types that the groups represent were those termed: adventure seekers, risk takers, responsibility takers and security seekers. The categorization ended in a quantitative measurement instrument for the classification of traffic participants. The thesis ends up in some recommendations how messages to different target groups could be presented. (Less)

Avhandlingen behandlar målgruppsanalysens betydelse för budskapsformning och planering av informationskampanjer.
Boken innehåller en genomgång av teorier som kan ligga till grund för målgruppsanalys samt för attityd- och beteendeförändring. Teorierna tillämpas så långt det varit möjligt i en målgruppsanalys av unga trafikanter i åldern 18-24 år. Målgruppsanalysen består av ett antal på varandra följande undersökningar – såväl kvalitativa som kvantitativa – som lett fram till utvecklingen av ett mätinstrument för kategorisering av unga trafikanter i fyra målgrupper.
Författaren avslutar med att presentera en rad rekommendationer för vilken typ av budskap samt... (More) - Popular Abstract in Swedish
