성별과 운전경력에 따른 행위자-관찰자 관점에서의 운전분노 차이: 운전 시뮬레이션 연구 = Differences in Driver Anger as a Function of Gender, Driving Experience, and Actor-Observer Perspective: A Driving Simulation Study

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This driving simulation study examined relative differences in driving anger as the functions of drivers’ gender and driving experiences, and actor-observer perspectives when they were exposed in two anger-provoking driving scenarios(cutting-in and sudden stop). The results showed the followings. First, neither drivers’ gender nor driving experience, when they were considered independently of the driving situation types and actor-observer perspectives, yielded significant difference in driving anger. Second, actor-observer effect on driving anger was observed only in the cutting-in condition where other driver’s intension was emphasized. Third, the female drivers of low driving experience tended to show the strongest tendency of actor-observer bias in the cutting-in condition. These results suggested that the levels of driving anger as the functions of drivers’ gender and driving experience can be differed by types of driving situation as well as perspectives of drivers’ interpreting the situations.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구에서는 운전자의 성별과 운전경력, 위험 운전상황의 유형(성향요인이 강조된 끼어들기 상황 vs. 상황요인이 강조된 급정거 상황), 그리고 운전분노 평정관점(행위자 관점 vs. 관찰자 관점)에 따른 운전자의 운전분노 수준 차이를 운전 시뮬레이션 기법을 이용하여 비교하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성별과 운전경력에 따른 운전분노 수준에서의 차이를 운전상황 유형이나 운전분노 평정관점을 함께 고려하지 않고 독립적으로 분석한 결과 성별과 운전경력에 따른 차이가 각각 유의하지 않았다. 둘째, 운전분노 수준에서의 행위자-관찰자 효과는 도로여건 등과 같은 상황변인이 상대적으로 더 많이 강조된 급정거 상황보다는 상대운전자의 의도가 비교적 분명하게 드러나는 조건인 끼어들기 상황에서 주로 관찰되었다. 셋째, 운전자의 성별과 운전경력, 그리고 운전분노 평정관점을 통합적으로 고려하여 살펴본 결과 운전경력이 짧은 여성운전자의 경우 타인의 끼어들기에 대해서는 매우 높은 수준의 분노를 경험하는 반면, 자신의 끼어들기에 대해서는 매우 낮은 수준으로 상대운전자가 운전분노를 경험할 것으로 추정하는 경향이 더 높았다. 이러한 결과는 운전자의 성별과 운전경력에 따른 운전분노에서의 차이가 위험 운전상황의 유형과 행위자-관찰자 관점에 따라 매우 다른 양상으로 나타날 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.
