초록

본 연구는 기존 연구들이 일반 성격특성과 위험운전행동의 관계를 살펴본 것과 달리, 운전상황에서 특정적으로 나타나는 개인의 특성(운전분노, A형 운전행동)이 교통안전에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보았다. 또한 생활스트레스가 운전자의 위험운전행동을 예측하는 중요한 변수임을 고려하여 일반성격(자극추구성향, A형 성격유형, 법규위반성향)과 생활스트레스, 교통안전의 관계를 검증하였다. 이를 위해, 전국의 사업용 운전자 1158명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고 사고관련 자료(교통안전도지수)를 수집하였다. 연구결과, 운전분노와 A형 운전행동 등 운전 상황에서의 개인특성은 일반성격을 통제하고도 유의하게 사고위험(교통안전도지수)을 예측하였으며, 생활스트레스는 일반 성격특성과 교통안전도지수 사이를 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 운전자의 위험운전행동을 예측할 때, 일반성격 뿐만 아니라 운전 상황에서의 특성 및 생활스트레스 수준을 함께 고려해야 함을 시사한다. 이 밖에 연구의 의의와 제한점, 추후연구 방향 등을 논의하였다.

Abstract

The objectives of the present research are twofold. First, this research aims to compare the effect of trait characteristics(sensation seeking, social resistance and type-A behavior) with that of driving specific characteristics(driving anger and type-A driving) on problematic driving behavior. Second, the role of life stress as a mediator in the relationships between general trait characteristics and traffic safety index was examined. 1158 licensed commercial vehicle drivers were surveyed and their accident-related records were obtained in this research. Results showed that driving specific characteristics were significant indicators of traffic safety and life stress mediated the relationships between general trait characteristics and traffic safety index. These findings implicate that understanding drivers' driving specific characteristics and their levels of life stress is important to reduce problematic driving behaviors and enhance traffic safety.
