AB  - An important distinction in psychology is between external and internal
determinants of behaviour. Behaviour may be perceived as being
determined either by factors internal to the individual (e.g.
personality) or by external factors, in particular the consequences that
follow the behaviour. External factors are central to the behavioural
approach. The tendency for people to underestimate the importance of
external factors in influencing behaviour is discussed. An application
of the behavioural approach to accident reduction is described and the
benefits and problems associated with its implementation discussed. The
importance of workforce participation and involvement are emphasized. In
addition, it is suggested that the commitment of management, especially
at the highest levels, is required if the programme is to maintain
long‐term effectiveness.
