This study was intended to validate and develop the driving stress scale. In a preliminary investigation, literature studies on the stress and open questionnaire were administered and examined in four regions in Korea. As a result, 121 items driving stress questionnaire were developed. In the study, this driving stress questionnaire was examined to 450 drivers located seven regions in Korea. The factors analysis revealed 5 meaningful factors[(Progress Obstacle: PO), (Traffic Circumstance: TC), (Accident & Regulation: AR), (Regulation Observance: RO), (Time Pressure: TP)] with 38 items. When internal consistency for each 5 factor was calculated, all sub-scale revealed a satisfactory level of Cronbach's α. Also, correlations with Driving Behaviour Inventory-General Driver Stress(DBI-GEN) and risk driving behaviors(speed driving, drunken driving, offence accident, defence accident) supported consistently validity of the Driving Stress Scale(DSS). Finally the result were discussed and implications are suggested for future studies.

본 연구의 목적은 최근 운전자 행동에 대한 연구 방법으로 매우 중요하게 대두되고 있는 운전 시뮬레이션 방법을 이용하여 운전자들이 보이는 기본적인 운전 수행 능력 및 이러한 운전 수행 능력과 관련이 가장 깊은 것으로 기존의 연구들이 밝혀왔던 기본적인 지각적/인지적/운동적 수행 능력을 측정하여 운전자 수행을 평가하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 특히 운전자의 운전 수행 및 운전과 관련된 기본적인 정신/운동 수행 능력은 정보 처리적 관점에서 측정되고 분석되었으며, 이를 통해 운전자들이 보이는 기본적인 정보처리 능력의 패턴에 대한 전반적 이해를 시도하였다. 본 연구에서는 기본적인 운전 수행 능력을 평가하는데 사용되는 차량의 속도 유지와 차선 유지에 대한 측정치와 더불어 운전과 관련한 인간 수행 중에서 단순 반응 능력, 선택 반응 능력, 속도 추정 능력, 청각적 주의나 시각적 주의의 분산 능력 등이 운전 시뮬레이션을 통하여 운전 중에 실시간으로 측정되었다. 본 연구에서 수집된 자료는 운전자들의 실제 운전 수행 및 이와 관련된 정보 처리 활동에 대한 표준화된 준거를 제시하는데 기초적 자료로 사용될 수 있으리라 생각된다.

This study is to investigate the effects of driving anger and traffic congestion on drivers' behaviors. Driving anger is the propensity to become angry while driving, and people differ in the tendency to get angry when encountering frustration and provocation on the road. Individual differences of the propensity contribute to anger on the road and aggressive driving leading traffic vaiolations and accidents. In the experiment three traffic conditions (an open road condition, a bumper-to-bumper traffic condition and a being stuck behind a slower driver condition) were simulated and driving behaviors were collected with RTSA-DS(Road Traffic Safety Authority-Driving Simulator). The results were as follows: Most of high anger drives drove at higher speeds in an open road condition, and in the bumper-to-bumper condition they drove faster and had an higher crash rate, which suggests they did aggressive driving, and risky and unsafe behaviors.

Many a number of policies have been tried to reduce auto accidents so far, but it is obvious that further studies are still needed to find a more fundamental and multi-dimensional preventive measure with effect. The National Mental Health Statistics shows that the most profound forms of negative emotions, that is, depression and anxiety, have been increasing, but studies on such a topic are scarce to find. Therefore, we conducted a structural analysis between the negative emotions, including depression and anxiety, of drivers and their driving behaviors using a Structural Equation Modeling(SEM) technique. The review of past literature and studies indicated that not all of human emotions manifest themselves as the ultimate behaviors because they go through emotion regulation Strategies. For this reason, the purpose of this study was set to analyze the structural model developed in this study reflecting the emotion regulation strategies. The result of our analysis showed that the driver's negative emotion had a more significant influence on dangerous driving behaviors than safe ones, and especially, the expressive suppression strategy was found to be the highest factor. Also, the total effect analysis with the negative emotional factors showed that expressive suppression had more significant influence compared to that of cognitive reappraisal. The implication of this study might provide a better understanding on driving behaviors of the drivers and could be used as a fundamental study for future policy development to reduce traffic accidents.

This study analysed the published papers dealing with traffic behaviors since 2004 in south Korea. The following information was coded for each papers; year of publication, source, authors, main topic, and subtopic. The annual numbers of publication in 2004 and 2005 showed 6 articles and 7 articles. Since 2006, The annual numbers were increasing more than 10 papers. It means that the researches on traffic behavior were rich. The driver was main topic of 73.2% of articles. Cognition & Perception, Fatigue and Stress, and Alcohol were the main interest sub-topics dealing with main topic driver. Elderly driver was 10.4%, the interest in elderly drivers grew with population aging. And the dominant publications were Journal of traffic safety research, Journal of Korean Psychology Association, and Journal of the Koean Data Analysis Society with 60% of all articles for last 10 years.

This study analysed the articles dealing with traffic behavior published since 1990 in Korea. The following information was coded for each articles; year of publication, source, authors, main topic and subtopic. The annual numbers of publication before 1996 was below 10 articles and over 10 articles after 1997. The driver was main topic of 60.8% of articles and traffic enviroment was 26.4%. Personality & Attitude, Cognition & Perception and Alcohol were the main interest subtopics dealing with main topic driver. And the dominant publications were Journal of traffic safety research, Journal of Korean society of transportation and Korean journal of psychological and social issues with 60% of all articles.

This study focused on novice drivers. Novice drivers get involved in more traffic accidents than the other drivers because of less driving experience. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between driving confidence levels and speeding, drunken driving, and traffic accidents. 192 drivers responded driving confidence levels questionnaire and driving experience items. 'Circumstance Insensibility', 'Unsafe Driving', 'Incautious Driving', and 'Self-efficacy of Driving' had significant relations with speeding in novice divers group. Especially, 'Circumstance Insensibility' showed a significant relation with speeding, drunken driving and traffic accidents. In the result of path analysis, driving confidence levels explained 22% of the speeding, 12% of the drunken driving and 21% of the traffic accidents in novice drivers group. 'Circumstance Insensibility' was most effective for traffic accidents of novice drivers. We verified that 'Self-efficacy of Driving' affects on traffic accidents via speeding.

User-centered design aims to develop device naturally without the interference of user' s conscious and unconscious behavior. Accordingly, designers need to understand their user's requirements, observe user behavior and interaction in the real environment. However, existing observations suggested a vast range of analysis system and observation techniques which are often ambiguous to the designers. Therefore, this research is aimed to propose an observation system for collecting data from user's behavior. In order to do so, we define the components and behavior level within the context of driving.

Speeding has been the most common traffic violation which increases the risk of accidents. The purpose of this study is to examine drivers' behaviors on the speeding intention and speeding action and to identify the relationship between those causes and effects. Effects of behaviors and human characters of drivers on speeding are analyzed through a Driver Behavior Questionnaire and the cause and effect among behavior characters, speeding intention and speeding behavior are validated through the structural equation model. In order to validate the hypothesis of the study, a path analysis is conducted through structural equation model. As the result, Driver Behavior Questionnaire property that influences the speeding is revealed to be the violation while Driver Behavior Questionnaire properties that influences the speeding behavior are lapse, mistake, and violation. And the speeding intention influences the speeding behavior. The study results are compared with previous studies to reveal that Driver Behavior Questionnaire properties influencing the speeding behavior are in the order of violation, mistake and lapse. Three properties of Driver Behavior Questionnaire, lapse, mistake and violation, are behavior scales in agreement with previous studies. The results of this study based on a Driver Behavior Questionnaire are expected to be utilized as a way to predict and validate driving behaviors.
