This 42-page document, “A STUDY OF TRAVEL BEHAVIOUR AND ATTITUDES IN A STUDENT POPULATION,” is a substantial academic report authored by Josseline P. Burgar. Submitted to the Department of Psychology at The University of Hull in April 1979, it exemplifies formal scholarly output from that period. The document is presented in a clear, typewritten format, devoid of decorative imagery but rich with empirical data presented through numerous tables and a key illustrative graph. It details original research, employing questionnaires and interviews to survey 366 students on their travel habits, knowledge of public bus systems, and transport attitudes. Although dated, its meticulous methodology, including statistical analyses like Chi-square tests, lends significant trustworthiness, making it a valuable primary source for historical insights into urban transport psychology and student populations.
