Cross-culturally approaching the cycling behaviour questionnaire (CBQ): Evidence from 19 countries

• Cycling behaviour remains a key issue to understanding riders’ safety outcomes. The CBQ has been widely used as behavioural questionnaire for this purpose, although never cross-culturally validated. This study examines its psychometric features, reliability indexes, validity insights and descriptive scores in five regions. shown good properties indicators across could be valuable tool targeting road behaviours among cyclists from all these Given different advances applied literature, risky positive keep gaining ground contributors riding In regard, the Behaviour Questionnaire (CBQ) represents one of tools available assess core dimensions cycling their relationship with outcomes perspective. Nevertheless, it psychometrically approached through cross-cultural Therefore, aimed perform validation CBQ, examining properties, 19 countries distributed regions: Europe, America, Asia, Africa, Oceania. For was data retrieved full sample 7,001 urban responding large-scale electronic survey. Participants had mean age M = 36.15 ( SD 14.71), ranging between 16 83 years. results empirically support assumption that 29-item version fair dimensional structure item composition, internal consistency, an interesting set insights. Among results, there can highlighted that: i ) Structurally speaking, works better under three-factor dimensionality, keeping 29 items, whose factor loadings are >0.400 cases; ii shows greater indexes than previous applications using smaller samples, Cronbach’s alphas [0.768 - 0.915], McDonald’s omegas [0.770 0.913] Composite Reliability Indexes [981 0.994]; iii Robust tests comparing riders levels risk perception crash involvement concurrent Questionnaire.
