Popis: To examine the widely accepted hypothesis that farm women are more concerned with safety issues and behaviors than their male counterparts are.A telephone survey was administered to a random sample of Kentucky principal farm operators, 90 of whom were women. Participants were questioned about their tractor safety beliefs and practices.No significant sex differences in tractor safety perceptions and behavior were observed.Socialization of women to the role of principal farm operator may override their typically greater sensitivity to safety issues, an important consideration when designing safety campaigns for this population.
