초록

오늘날 난폭운전은 도로에서 흔히 마주칠 수 있는 운전행동일 뿐만 아니라 운전자나 보행자와 같은 도로 이용자에게 매우 중요한 위험요인으로 대두되고 있다. 그러나 국내에서는 난폭운전과 관련된 연구를 거의 찾아볼 수가 없고 난폭운전에 대한 정의조차 마련되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선행연구들을 바탕으로 난폭운전의 정의를 내리고 이러한 난폭운전에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보고된 여러 심리사회적 변인들의 유의성을 계획된 행동이론(Theory of Planned Behavior; Ajzen, 1985)과 Triandis(1977)가 제안한 '습관' 변인을 중심으로 검증하였다. 예비조사에서 국내운전자들을 대상으로 대표적인 난폭운전을 조사한 결과, 난폭운전은 과속운전, 신호위반 운전 및 끼어들기 운전 등의 순으로 보고되었다. 본 조사에서는 대표적인 난폭운전의 세 가지 유형 각각에 대해서 인구통계적 특성을 통제하고도 TPB 변인들과 습관변인들이 유의한지를 알아보았다. 연구결과, 과속운전 의도와 신호위반운전 의도의 경우 주관적 신념, 행동통제력 지각, 습관이 유의하게 나타났으며, 끼어들기운전 의도에서는 행동통제력 지각 및 습관만이 유의하게 나타났다. 과속운전 행동과 신호위반운전 행동은 의도 이외에 습관 변인만이 유의하였으나 끼어들기운전은 의도 이외에 행동통제력 지각 및 습관 변인 둘 다 유의하게 나타났다. 마지막으로, 세 가지 난폭운전 유형 각각에 대하여 계획된 행동이론 모형과 습관 변인을 추가한 대안모형을 검증하여 보았으며 이와 관련하여 연구의 제한점 및 난폭운전 교정프로그램에 대한 함의를 논의하였다.

Nowadays, aggressive driving is a common driving behavior and it is raised as a dangerous factor for both drivers and passengers. However, it is hard to find studies on aggressive driving in Korea, and even the definition of aggressive behavior is not clearly explained. In this study, the term "aggressive behavior" is defined based on previous studies, and the significance of several psycho-social factors which affect aggressive driving were verified with the 'habit' factor from the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). In the pilot study, domestic drivers reported that aggressive behaviors included speeding, traffic light signal violation, and improper passing (cutting drivers off when passing). In this study, controlling the demographic characteristics of these three aggressive behaviors, the authors explored the relationship of the behaviors with TPB factors such as the habit factor. Consequently, in the case of drivers' intentions for speeding and traffic light signal violations, subjective norm, perceived behavioral controllability, and habit were significant factors. In the case of intentions for improper passing, only perceived behavioral controllability and habit were significant. In speeding behavior and traffic light signal violations, only habit was significant besides intention; however, in improper passing, both perceived behavioral controllability and habit were significant besides intention. The authors also tested an alternative model including TPB and habit factors for three types of aggressive driving. Finally, there are several implications for a possible intervention program for aggressive driving, though there are some limitations of the study.
