Abstract

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.

자동차는 우리에게 생활의 편리함을 준 반면 대기오염이나 교통사고와 같은 심각한 문제들도 안겨주었다. 이에 교통사고를 줄이기 위한 여러 가지 정책들이 실시되고 있지만 보다 근본적인 교통사고 예방대책을 찾기 위해서는 더욱 다양한 연구가 필요하다. 우리나라 국민 정신건강 조사통계에 따르면 대표적인 부정적 정서로 꼽을 수 있는 우울과 불안이 점차 증가하고 있는 추세이지만 이와 관련하여 운전행동과의 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 구조방정식을 이용하여 우울과 불안을 포함한 운전자의 부정적 정서요인과 운전행동과의 구조모형을 구축하였다. 여기에 인간의 정서는 최종 행동으로 모두 나타나지 않으며 정서조절의 단계를 거친다는 연구를 토대로 정서조절 방략을 반영하여 이를 분석하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 분석결과 운전자의 부정적 정서는 안전운전보다는 위험운전행동에 더 많은 영향을 주며 정서조절 방략 중에서는 감정표현 억제가 더 많은 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 인지적 재해석은 안전운전을 추구하는 순행적 대처행동에, 감정표현 억제는 위험운전을 감행하는 역행적 대처행동에 (+) 영향을 미치며 부정적 정서요인들을 매개로 한 총효과 분석에서는 감정표현 억제가 인지적 재해석보다 미치는 영향이 컸다. 본 연구는 운전자의 운전행동에 대한 이해를 증진시키고 교통사고를 줄이기 위한 정책의 기초 연구로서 의미가 있다고 할 수 있다.
