Objective The combined influences of psychosocial factors and traffic environment on three types of pedestrian's distraction (including mobile phone use, chatting with other pedestrians, and eating/drinking/smoking) were examined based on the integrated behavioral model.Methods Multi-stage random sampling was used to select 20 road intersections in Changsha City as research sites. Video-taping and questionnaire surveys were used to collect data on distraction, psychosocial factors, and traffic environment. Based on the integrated behavioral model, we developed the questionnaire from the perspective of psychosocial factors including pedestrian's attitudes, subjective norms, personal agency, and distraction habits towards different types of distraction. A structural equation model was used to test the combined effect of psychosocial factors and traffic environment on pedestrians' distraction.Results A total of 1 974 pedestrians participated in the questionnaire survey, collecting 1 741 valid questionnaires (600 for mobile phone use, 660 for chatting with other pedestrians, and 481 for eating/drinking/smoking). The individual attitudes, subjective norms, personal agency, intention, distraction habits, and traffic environment accounted for 22%, 18%, and 23% of the variation of pedestrian's distraction in mobile phone use, chatting with other pedestrians, and eating/drinking/smoking, respectively. Personal agency, subjective norms, and attitudes were the main explanatory factors of mobile phone use, with indirect effects of 0.126, 0.110 and 0.102 (P < 0.05), respectively. Distraction habits was the major explanatory factor for chatting with other pedestrians and eating/drinking/smoking, with total effects of 0.158 and 0.250 (P < 0.05), respectively. The influence of traffic environment on the three types of distraction among pedestrians was not statistically significant.Conclusions Psychosocial factors and traffic environment jointly affected the incidence of three types of pedestrian's distraction, but the major explanatory factors differed across types of distraction. In the future, education, legislation, and engineering interventions should be integrated to address the major explanatory factors of distraction.
