An application of the Prototype Willingness Model to mobile phone use while driving by young novice drivers
Driving while using a mobile phone has been recognised as a risky activity. The purpose of this research project is to understand why some young people may illegally use their mobile phone while they are driving a car, such as by sending text messages, making hand-held voice calls, receiving video calls or using social media. The study will examine how some different types of thoughts and beliefs might influence young peoples' intentions, expectations about, and willingness to drive while they are using a mobile phone. An optional second survey that participants can choose to complete in three weeks time will help understand if and how these intentions, expectations, and willingness relate to the young people’s engagement in driving while using a mobile phone.

Overlay for digital devices
We will test a screen overlay which fits on top of mobile phones in order to eliminate the need for reading spectacles. We want to know how well it performs. We want people in the age range 50-65 years with good distance vision without spectacles, but who have trouble with close work unless they use their spectacles. Reimbursement will be a $50 gift card for screening only, and this will be increased if suitable for the experiment to $100 gift cards on full testing.
