본 연구에서는 연령에 따른 운전자의 운전확신수준 변화가 운전행동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 운전확신수준을 측정하기 위해 운전확신수준 설문지를 사용하였으며, 조사대상자들의 운전경력, 주행거리, 운전일수, 법규위반(음주, 과속), 교통사고경험(가해, 피해)을 함께 조사하였다. 조사대상자는 만 19세부터 만 80세까지였으며 총 1,055명이 연구에 참여하였다. 운전확신수준의 구조를 알아보고자 요인분석을 실시하였다. 각 연령(29세이하, 30-39세, 40-49세, 50-64세, 65세이상)의 운전확신수준을 비교하고, 운전확신수준과 운전행동과의 관계를 알아보았다. 그 결과, 운전확신수준은 ‘상황둔감성’, ‘불안전운전’, ‘주의집중소홀’, ‘운전자신감’의 네 요인으로 이루어져 있었으며, 연령의 증가와 함께 운전확신수준은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 운전확신수준은 연령과 가해교통사고, 피해교통사고, 운전기간, 음주운전, 과속운전, 운전경력 등과 상관관계를 가지고 있었다. 연구에 참여한 운전자 집단을 음주운전집단, 과속운전집단으로 나누어 운전확신수준과 운전행동의 차이를 알아보았는데, 음주운전이나 과속운전 경험이 없었던 운전자 집단과 음주운전이나 과속운전을 경험한 운전자 집단의 운전확신수준과 운전행동이 유의한 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.


The purpose of this research is to study the relation between the change of driver's driving confidence level in the age categories and driving behavior. To survey the driving confidence level, we used the 'Driving Confidence Scale' questionnaire and surveyed the drive career, mileage, driving days, violation of traffic regulation (drunk driving, overspeed), traffic accident experience (assaulter, sufferer) together. The subjects of investigation were from 19-year-old to 80-year-old and 1,055 persons were participated in the research totally. To examinethe structure of driving confidence level, we executed the factor analysis. We compared the driving confidence level in the age categories (under 29-year-old, 30~39, 40~49, 50~64, over 65-year-old) and studied the relation between driving confidence level and driving behavior. Driving confidence level was composed of 4 factors such as 'insensibility to situation', 'unsafe driving', 'careless concentration' and 'self-efficacy of driving', and there was decreasing tendency for driving confidence level and overall driving behavior according to increasing age. Driving confidence level had the interrelation with age range, assaulting accident, suffered accident, driving period, drunk driving, overspeed, driving career and so on. We examined the difference of driving confidence level and driving behavior by dividing the participated drivers' groups into the traffic accident experienced group, drunk driving group and overspeed driving group, and there was a significant difference on driving confidence level and driving behavior between the group who had not experienced the violation of traffic regulation or traffic accident and another group who had experienced the violation of traffic regulation or traffic accident.
