TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Predictors of societal accident proneness across 92 countries JO - Cross-cultural research: the journal of comparative social science A1 - Minkov, Michael SP - 103 EP - 122 VL - 50 IS - 2 N2 - This study finds that road death tolls, occupational fatality rates, and airline safety are strongly correlated across 92 countries, yielding a common factor: national societal accident proneness. It is independently predicted by national differences in transparency versus corruption and differences in education. This finding has important practical implications: Substantial reduction of a nation's societal accident proneness requires strong gains in transparency and education.
