Abstract

This chapter is concerned with a research project in which collaboration between psychology, medicine and engineering was necessary to assess the physiological and the psychological perceptions of risk in cyclists, comparing both to determine their impact on wearable technology that measures bodily signals of stress. Here we describe the research design and process, highlighting how insights from all these disciplines were necessary to carry out the project and interpret the conclusions.
