위험 커뮤니케이션과 수상 안전 행동 의도 간의 관계 : 위험 인식의 심리사회적 매개 역할 탐색 = The relationship between risk communication and water safety behavioral intentions : Exploring the psychosocial mediating role of risk perception

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated the structural relationship between risk perception and safety preventive behavior intention among university students (N=476) participating in water sports from a risk communication perspective. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 employing regression and ANOVA.
The main findings are as follows: First, planned behavior (β=.521) and water safety information (β =.378) were the primary predictors of preventive behavior intention. Notably, risk perception lost statistical significance when planned behavior and information were included in the final model, indicating that specific action plans are more critical than mere risk awareness. Second, significant differences in information utilization were found based on the presence of acquisition channels; the group with no information source showed the lowest safety competence. Third, senior students and yacht participants exhibited significantly higher levels of risk perception and planned behavior compared to their counterparts. In conclusion, effective sports injury prevention requires risk communication strategies centered on establishing concrete action plans and providing accurate information. Developing customized safety education systems for lower-grade students and information-vulnerable groups is essential to bridge the gap between risk awareness and actual preventive practice.
