Abstract

The reasons of traffic accidents can be classified into the vehicle, road environment and human factors. In development of vehicle and road technologies, the human factor is the most important. The emotion research recently carried out showed that emotions play an important role in human judgment and decision making. They are also expected to partly determine driving behavior. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of drivers' emotions on their driving behavior. The results of this study showed that positive emotions do not affect driving behavior. As for negative emotions, however, safe driving(SD) and comfort driving(CD) factors have a negative correlation, and violence driving(VD) and regulation violation(RO) factors have a positive correlation. This study is significant as a basic study for establishing and determining a policy for reducing traffic accidents and for educating drivers.

교통사고의 원인은 크게 차량요인, 도로환경요인, 인적요인으로 구성되는데 과거에 비해 비약적으로 발전한 기술로 인하여 현재는 교통참가자들의 교통행동이 가장 중요한 원인으로 주목받고 있다. 최근 활발하게 연구가 이루어지고 있는 정서는 인간의 판단과 행동결정에서 그 역할이 중요시 되고 있다. 이에 운전자가 운전행동을 판단하고 결정할 때에도 정서가 영향을 줄 것으로 예상되며 운전자의 정서가 운전행동에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 밝혀내는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 분석결과 긍정적 정서는 운전행동에 큰 영향을 주지 않지만 부정적 정서의 경우 안전운전 요인 및 여유운전 요인과는 부적(-) 상관관계를, 난폭운전 요인 및 법규위반 요인과는 강한 정적(+) 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 회귀분석을 통해 적합도가 가장 높은 2차 함수 모형을 구축하였다. 본 연구는 운전자의 정서와 운전행동과의 관계를 확인했다는 점에서 의의가 있으며 교통사고를 줄이기 위한 정책을 수립하고 결정할 때뿐만 아니라 효과적인 운전자 교통안전교육의 기초연구로서 의미가 있다고 할 수 있다.
