摘要：	Federal regulations require airlines to provide safety briefings and briefing cards to inform passengers of routine and emergency safety procedures onboard transport airplanes. The exact content and presentation media used for safety briefings and cards are the responsibility of the airlines to implement, as long as the required minimum safety information is delivered. Consequently, passenger safety briefings and briefing cards vary greatly, and passenger attention to such briefings has been poor at best. Studies have shown that typical passengers, even those who report that they pay attention to passenger safety briefings and briefing cards, have little personal knowledge and understanding of the information they have been given to improve their chances of survival. One strategy to increase safety knowledge among passengers is to improve the comprehensibility and appeal of safety briefings and briefing cards. The present study was intended to address the current state of the art for airline safety briefing cards and was motivated, in part, by National Transportation Safety Board recommendations and research results demonstrating that passenger attention to safety information is waning. Pictorials and pictograms, selected from safety briefing cards currently used by airlines, and graphical symbols, approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and commonly found in buildings or other modes of transportation, were presented in open-ended-question format. The 785 participants were recruited from high schools, public and federal offices, cabin safety workshops at the FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Institute, and the SAE International Cabin Safety Provisions Committee, S-9. Responses were categorized, based on correctness, and then transformed, using a weighting algorithm, to yield comprehension scores for each pictorial/pictogram.
