This study explored the influence of personal attributes on subjectively-reported aggressive driving behaviors, with an emphasis on the inter-influences between subjectively-reported aggressive driving behaviors between self and other individuals. To determine this, a survey was conducted comprising participants' socio-demographic data, information on their history with automotive accidents, and subjective scales to report on the driving behaviors between self and others. More specifically, a four-factor shortened version of the Manchester Driver Behavior Questionnaire was used to collect data on the aberrant driving behaviors of "self" and "others."
Participants were recruited from three countries, namely, Japan (1,250 responses), China (1,250), and Vietnam (1,000). This study only considered the "aggressive violations' factor," which was referred to as self-aggressive driving behaviors (SADB) and others' aggressive driving behaviors (OADB). After collecting the data, univariate and bivariate multiple regression models were employed to better understand the response patterns from both scales.
This study found that accident experience had the strongest influence on the reporting of aggressive driving behaviors (followed by education level). However, variation in countries was also found between both the rate of engagement in aggressive driving behavior and its recognition. In this study, highly educated Japanese drivers tended to evaluate others as safe, whereas highly educated Chinese drivers tended to evaluate others as aggressive. This discrepancy can likely be attributed to cultural norms and values. Meanwhile, evaluations from Vietnamese drivers seemed to differ depending on whether they drove cars or bikes, with additional influences as a result of the driving frequency. Furthermore, this study found that it was most difficult to explain the driving behaviors on the "other" scale reported by Japanese drivers.
These findings can aid policymakers and planners to develop road safety measures that reflect the behaviors of drivers in their respective countries.
本研究探讨了个人属性对主观报告的攻击性驾驶行为的影响，重点关注自我与他人之间主观报告的攻击性驾驶行为的相互影响。为了确定这一点，进行了一项调查，包括参与者的社会人口统计数据、他们的汽车事故历史信息，以及用于报告自我与他人驾驶行为的主观量表。更具体地说，使用了曼彻斯特驾驶员行为问卷的四因素简化版来收集关于“自我”和“他人”异常驾驶行为的数据。
参与者来自三个国家，即日本（1250份回复）、中国（1250份）和越南（1000份）。本研究仅考虑“攻击性违规”因素，将其称为自我攻击性驾驶行为（SADB）和他人攻击性驾驶行为（OADB）。收集数据后，采用单变量和双变量多元回归模型来更好地理解两个量表的反应模式。
本研究发现事故经历对攻击性驾驶行为的报告影响最大（其次是教育水平）。然而，在攻击性驾驶行为的参与率及其认知方面，国家之间也存在差异。在本研究中，受教育程度高的日本司机倾向于将他人评价为安全，而受教育程度高的中国司机倾向于将他人评价为具有攻击性。这种差异可能归因于文化规范和价值观。同时，越南司机的评价似乎因他们是开车还是骑车而有所不同，驾驶频率也会产生额外影响。此外，本研究发现最难解释日本司机在“他人”量表上报告的驾驶行为。
这些发现可以帮助政策制定者和规划者制定反映各自国家驾驶员行为的道路安全措施。
