From: How does perceived risk mediate associations between perceived safety and parental restriction of adolescents’ physical activity in their neighborhood?

  1. a Range of possible values was −6 to 6. High scores indicate high levels of concern about road safety.
  2. b Range of possible values was −8 to 8. High scores indicate high levels of concern about incivilities.
  3. c Range of possible values was −10 to 10. High scores indicate that levels of personal safety are perceived to be high.
  4. Low scores indicate high levels of concern about adolescent’s personal safety.
  5. d Range of possible values was −6 to 6. Lower scores indicate lower levels of perceived risk.
  6. e Range of possible values was −14 to 14. Lower scores indicate lower levels of avoidance behavior.
  7. f Range of possible values was −14 to 14. Lower scores indicate lower levels of defensive behavior.
