Abstract:
In Japan, there is a well-known idiomatic expression called "anshin anzen." Generally, "anshin" is defined as "subjective peace" and "anzen" as "objective safety." However, previous studies have shown that objective safety, which is determined by physical measurements, does not always match the subjective feeling of safety. How does the feeling of safety differ from "anshin," which is inherently subjective? In this study, participants were asked to evaluate "anshin" or feeling of safety for automobile features, and the two evaluations were compared. The results showed that both evaluations decreased in response to high malfunction rates, but the feeling of safety evaluations did not decrease for the high criticality features. Additionally, both evaluations increased for moderate or low malfunction rates, but the feeling of safety evaluations did not increase for low criticality features. These findings indicate that the feeling of safety is sensitive to feature criticality and information.
