Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships among the older drivers' subjective evaluation and objective performances for driving ability, mobility and subjective well-being. Scores for mobility and subjective well-being were obtained using questionnaires. Diagram-based driving scenarios and driving simulation were used to measure subjective and objective driving abilities, respectively. The results can be summarized as followings. First, subjective evaluation scores of driving ability but not objective driving performance significantly correlated with mobility. Second, the higher level of mobility predicted higher life satisfaction, higher positive affectivity, and lower negative affectivity. Third, the older driver's higher scores of subjective driving ability induced higher level of mobility, which, in turn, increased life satisfaction and positive affectivity but lower negative affectivity. The results suggested that subjective rather than objective ability for driving is more important in determining the level of old driver's subjective well-being.

본 연구는 고령 운전자의 운전능력에 대한 주관적 평가와 객관적 수행, 이동성 및 주관적 안녕감 사이의 관련성을 살펴보기 위해 수행되었다. 고령 운전자들의 이동성과 주관적 안녕감은 설문조사 방법을 통해 측정하였다. 운전능력에 대한 주관적 평가는 다양한 운전 상황을 도식적으로 제시한 후 각 상황에서의 운전능력을 주관적으로 평정하게 하였고. 객관적 수행은 운전 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 측정하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 고령 운전자의 운전능력에 대한 객관적 수행과 이동성 사이의 상관은 유의하지 않았던 반면, 주관적 평가와 이동성 사이의 상관은 정적으로 유의하였다. 그리고 이동성과 주관적 안녕감의 하위요인 중 삶의 만족, 긍정 정서와는 정적인 반면, 부정 정서와는 부적인 상관이 관찰되었다. 둘째, 고령 운전자의 운전능력에 주관적 평가가 높을수록 이동성 수준이 높았고, 이러한 높은 이동성은 다시 주관적 안녕감의 하위요인 중 삶의 만족과 긍정 정서를 정적으로 반면, 부정 정서는 부적으로 예측하였다. 본 연구의 결과들은 고령 운전자의 주관적 안녕감에는 객관적 운전수행보다는 운전 능력에 대한 스스로의 평가가 더 중요한 기여를 할 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.
