This study aims to explore the influence of Big Five personality traits in combination with various socio-demographic factors and experiences of accident involvement on aberrant driving behaviors. The study also compares the effects of the level of development (i.e., developed or developing) of three countries on the personality traits and driving behaviors.
The four-factor Driver Behavior Questionnaire was used to collect data on aberrant driving behaviors, while a short version of the 10-item Big Five Inventory was used to collect data on personality traits. Responses were collected from Japan (1,250 responses), China (1,250), and Vietnam (1,000). A latent variable model was applied after controlling data in each category (e.g., age).
This study revealed that respondents who experienced accidents in the past and scored higher on Agreeableness were less likely to commit aggressive violations in Japan, China, and Vietnam. Further, Japanese and Vietnamese female drivers who scored high on Conscientiousness were found to be less likely to commit ordinary violations. Neuroticism was positively correlated with aggressive violations only in the case of Vietnamese drivers, irrespective of the history of accident involvement.
Drivers with particular personality types that are linked with aberrant driving behavior may need to receive additional training on behavior management. Practical Applications: This study may help road traffic policymakers predict future driving behaviors of Vietnamese and Chinese drivers based on those of Chinese and Japanese drivers, respectively, and act accordingly.
本研究旨在探讨大五人格特质与各种社会人口因素和事故经历相结合对异常驾驶行为的影响。本研究还比较了三个国家（发达国家和发展中国家）发展水平对人格特质和驾驶行为的影响。
使用四因素驾驶员行为问卷收集异常驾驶行为数据，使用 10 项大五人格量表短版收集人格特质数据。从日本（1250 份回应）、中国（1250 份）和越南（1000 份）收集了回应。在控制了每个类别（例如年龄）的数据后，应用了潜在变量模型。
本研究表明，过去发生过事故且在宜人性上得分较高的受访者在日本、中国和越南不太可能实施攻击性违规行为。此外，在日本和越南，尽责性得分较高的女性驾驶员不太可能实施普通违规行为。神经质与攻击性违规行为呈正相关，仅在越南驾驶员中存在，无论是否有过事故经历。
具有与异常驾驶行为相关的特定人格类型的驾驶员可能需要接受额外的行为管理培训。
本研究可以帮助道路交通政策制定者根据中国和日本驾驶员的情况预测越南和中国驾驶员未来的驾驶行为，并采取相应措施。
