Unsafe psychological tendencies and self-involvement in coal miners’ safety decision-making: a preliminary fNIRS study

This preliminary fNIRS study examined how miners' safety psychology and self-involvement relate to safety decision-making. Both factors were associated with safe-decision rates, while their interaction affected reaction time. Hemodynamic responses in frontal and temporal regions also varied across decision stages. These findings suggest that individual and situational factors may influence mining-safety decisions, supporting training that addresses risks to miners and coworkers.
