초록

본 연구에서는 운전 시뮬레이션을 통해 구현된 위험 운전상황에서 운전자의 문화성향(개인주의 문화성향과 집단주의 문화성향)에 따른 귀인양식(상대운전자의 운전태도를 포함한 성향귀인 또는 도로여건 등을 포함한 상황귀인)에서의 차이를 비교하였다. 실험참가자들의 문화성향은 Singelis 등(1995)의 문화성향 척도를 사용하여 분류하였고, 위험 운전상황은 상대운전자에 의한 갑작스러운 끼어들기와 급정거 상황으로 나누어 제시하되, 각각의 위험 운전상황은 상대운전자의 의도가 분명히 드러나는 조건과 도로여건 등과 같은 상황변인이 강조되는 방식으로 시나리오 조건을 다시 구분하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전반적으로 살펴보면 ‘급정거: 상황강조’ 시나리오 조건을 제외한 모든 시나리오 조건에서 실험참가자들의 귀인점수는 상황귀인 점수보다는 성향귀인 점수가 더 높았다. 둘째, 실험참가자들의 문화성향을 동시에 고려할 경우 문화성향의 유형에 따라 매우 상이한 결과를 보였다. 즉, ‘끼어들기: 성향강조’ 시나리오 조건을 제외한 모든 시나리오 조건들에서 개인주의 문화성향 집단의 경우에는 시나리오 유형과 상관없이 상대운전자의 성향요인으로 귀인하는 경향이 강했던 반면, 집단주의 문화성향의 집단의 경우 상황요인에 대한 귀인점수가 높아져 성향귀인 점수와 상황귀인 점수 사이에서의 차이가 감소하였다. 본 연구의 시사점과 추후의 연구주제 및 연구방법에 대해 논의하였다.

Abstract

This study examined how drivers of different cultural orientations(individualism vs. collectivism) attribute the cause(dispositional vs. situational) of four simulated driving situations which were varied in types(cutting-in and sudden-stop by the other driver) and differential emphasis on other the other driver’s driving attitude or situational factor. The results showed the followings. First, the drivers generally showed higher attribution scores on the dispositional factor than the situational factor, except for the ‘sudden-stop: situation emphasis’ scenario condition. Second, when drivers’ cultural orientation and attribution styles were considered together, it was found that, except for the ‘cutting-in: disposition emphasis’ scenario condition. the drivers of collectivism tended to attribute more to situational factor than the drivers of individualism, In contrast, the drivers of individualism showed higher attribution scores on dispositional factor than situational factor in all driving scenario conditions. Implication and suggestion were discussed.
