Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, in order to clarify characteristics inherent in the knowledge-to-action gap and investigate factors contributing to the mediation of the gap, psychological experiments are conducted in three fields: evacuation behavior for disaster prevention, information ethics behavior, and bicycle driving behavior. As results of the experiments, it was confirmed there exists the gap between knowledge and behavioral intention in all the three fields. Moreover, taking account of the process of performing unsafe behaviors, we developed a learning support system that provides learners with simulated unsafe experience. The system was evaluated by a psychological experiment, and it was demonstrated the possibilities of mediating the inconsistency between evacuation knowledge and behavior intention with the proposed learning support method.
