His research ties Mental health and Injury prevention together.

His work deals with themes such as Coping and Speed limit, which intersect with Social psychology. His study in Suicide prevention is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Psychological intervention and Clinical psychology. Safety culture, Data collection, Environmental health and Under-reporting is closely connected to Transport engineering in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Occupational safety and health.

His most cited work include:

  • Dialling and driving: factors influencing intentions to use a mobile phone while driving (172 citations)
  • How do other people influence your driving speed? Exploring the 'who' and the 'how' of social influences on speeding from a qualitative perspective (128 citations)
  • Examining the effectiveness of physical threats in road safety advertising: The role of the third-person effect, gender, and age ☆ (122 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Human factors and ergonomics, Applied psychology, Transport engineering, Injury prevention and Occupational safety and health. His Human factors and ergonomics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Computer security, Advertising, Social psychology and Suicide prevention. His research investigates the link between Social psychology and topics such as Theory of planned behavior that cross with problems in Normative.

His studies examine the connections between Applied psychology and genetics, as well as such issues in Graduated driver licensing, with regards to Medical education. His work in the fields of Transport engineering, such as Road user, overlaps with other areas such as Context. Barry C. Watson interconnects Sensation seeking and Clinical psychology in the investigation of issues within Injury prevention.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Human factors and ergonomics (27.58%)
  • Applied psychology (26.62%)
  • Transport engineering (24.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Applied psychology (26.62%)
  • Human factors and ergonomics (27.58%)
  • Injury prevention (24.22%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Applied psychology, Human factors and ergonomics, Injury prevention, Enforcement and Social psychology. His Applied psychology study incorporates themes from Computer security, Intervention, Psychosocial, Reading and Graduated driver licensing. He focuses mostly in the field of Human factors and ergonomics, narrowing it down to matters related to Transport engineering and, in some cases, Data collection.

His research integrates issues of Anger, Occupational safety and health, Suicide prevention and Aggression in his study of Injury prevention. His research on Enforcement also deals with topics like

  • Sample most often made with reference to Compliance,
  • Deterrence theory that connect with fields like Punishment,
  • Procedural justice and related Neutrality. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Social psychology, Social influence is strongly linked to Psychological intervention.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Estimating under-reporting of road crash injuries to police using multiple linked data collections (49 citations)
  • Smartphone use while driving: What factors predict young drivers' intentions to initiate, read, and respond to social interactive technology? (35 citations)
  • Young and unaffected by road policing strategies: Using deterrence theory to explain provisional drivers’ (non)compliance (30 citations)
