Abstract Author's abstract: The U. S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sponsored a major survey to examine public attitudes toward automobile safety. The survey used a scientifically selected sample of 2,016 adult Americans who are either licensed drivers or who live in households with at least one automobile. The survey explored a broad range of subjects relating to automobile safety including: Public concern about automobile safety and perception of the need to protect automobile passengers from crash injury; public attitudes toward currently available safety equipment, particularly the active safety belts; attitudes toward new rules requiring passive restraint systems in new automobiles for crash protection, and public expectations about technology and use of new passive restraint systems. This report contains the full results of the survey, as well as descriptive material on the sampling techniques involved.
