초록

본 연구는 운전자의 조심성에 초점을 두고 고령운전자와 청소년운전자의 운전확신수준과 운전행동과의 관계를 알아보았다. 우선, 운전확신수준을 측정하기 위한 도구를 제작하여 사용하였으며, 조사대상자들의 운전경력, 주행거리, 위반경험, 사고경험을 함께 조사하였다. 조사대상자는 만 25세 이하 청소년운전자와 만 65세 이상 고령운전자 325명이었으며, 고령운전자의 자료는 1:1 인터뷰를 통하여 수집하였다. 먼저, 운전확신수준의 구조를 알아보고자 요인분석을 실시하고, 고령운전자와 청소년운전자의 운전확신수준을 비교하였다. 그리고 고령운전자와 청소년운전자의 운전확신수준과 운전행동과의 관계를 알아보았다. 운전확신수준은 '운전상황', '안전운전', '운전능력', '주의'의 네 요인으로 이루어져 있었으며, 고령운전자의 운전확신수준은 청소년운전자의 운전확신수준보다 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 고령운전자 집단에서는 운전확신수준과 운전경력, 위반경험이 강한 상관관계를 가지고 있었고, 청소년운전자의 운전확신수준은 운전경력, 주행거리, 위반경험, 사고경험과 강한 상관관계를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study focused on driver's carefulness and researched the relationship between driving confidence and driving behaviour in elderly and young drivers. In order to evaluate the driving confidence level, 'Driving Confidence Scale' was developed. 175 of young drivers(younger than 25) and 150 of elderly drivers(older than 65) conducted Driving Confidence Scale. They answered their driving patterns; driving history, annual mileage, the frequency of committing traffic violation, and experience of accident within 5 years. Elderly driver's data was collected by face to face interview. The factors of driving confidence were analyzed and the driving confidence level of young and elderly drivers was compared. Driving Confidence was consisted of 4 factors; environment of traffic condition, safe driving, driving ability, attention. Elderly driver's confidence was lower than young driver's. Elderly drivers in high driving confidence group, showed longer driving history and they were tend to commit violations more frequently than elerly drivers in low driving confidence group. Young drivers, whose driving confidence level was high answered more driving history, annual mileage, the frequency of committing traffic violation and experience of accident within 5 years.
