본 연구에서는 다양한 연령대의 운전자들을 대상으로 운전확신 수준과 감각추구 성향에 따른 운전분노 수준 차이가 있는지 살펴보기 위해, 면접방식에 기초한 설문조사를 통해 자료를 수집한 후 상관분석과 위계적 회귀방법, 그리고 변량분석 방법을 이용하여 이를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과와 시사점을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 남성은 여성에 비해 전반적으로 운전분노 수준이 높았고, 감각추구 성향과 운전분노 수준 사이에는 유의한 정적 상관이, 반면 연령과 운전경력은 운전분노와 각각 유의한 부적 상관을 보였다. 둘째, 운전확신 수준이 운전자의 연령대에 따라 운전분노 수준에 차별적으로 영향을 미쳐 40대 이상의 운전자 집단에서는 운전확신이 높을수록 운전분노 수준이 유의하게 높았던 반면, 20-30대 운전자 집단에서는 운전확신 수준에 따른 운전분노 수준에서의 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 셋째, 이와는 대조적으로 운전자의 감각추구 성향은 운전자의 연령대와 상관없이 운전자의 분노수준이 강한 예측변인임이 확인되었다. 넷째, 운전자의 연령대와 운전확신 수준, 그리고 감각추구 성향을 모두 고려하여 운전분노의 수준을 비교한 결과, 20-39세 연령층과 65세 이상 연령층에서는 운전확신 수준이 높은 경우에만 감각추구 성향에서의 차이가 운전분노의 차이에 반영되었지만, 40-59세 연령층의 운전자들에게서는 이러한 상호작용 효과가 관찰되지 않은 대신 운전확신 수준과 감각추구 성향이 가산적으로 운전분노에 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
This study investigated the differential interactive effects of the combination of driving confidence and sensation-seeking on driving anger among different age groups, by using correlation analysis, a hierarchical regression and ANOVAs for the data gathered through the questionnaires administrated in a form of face-to-face interview. The results showed the followings. First, males tended to show higher level in driving anger than females. Second, whereas sensation-seeking was positively correlated with driving anger, age and driving experience were negatively correlated with driving anger, respectively. Third, although there was no significant relationship between driving confidence and driving anger among the drivers aged under 40 years, the drivers aged over 40 years showed higher level of driving anger as their driving confidence increased. Forth, level of sensation-seeking was found to be a strong predictor of driving anger in all age groups. Fifth, driving confidence and sensation-seeking appeared to affect the level of driving anger interactively among drivers aged under 40 years or over 65 years, resulting in higher driving anger only when both the levels of driving confidence and sensation-seeking were high. In contrast, driving confidence and sensation-seeking affected driving anger independently among the drivers aged 30-49 years. Implication and suggestion were discussed.
