Abstract

One of the important factors of road safety is drivers’ behavior. It is very useful to examine the factors of driver behavior to reduce the human factors to improve road safety. The objective of this study is to employ Manchester driver behavior questionnaire (DBQ) to measure various types of driver behavior in Kuwait. Data collection was performed by using an online questionnaire. The factor analysis was used to examine the data which compute into three factors structure. However, these three factors could not be classified into errors, lapses and violations categories as other studied due to social desirability bias. The future studies should examine this issue further.

摘要

道路安全的重要因素之一是驾驶员的行为。考察驾驶员行为的因素对减少人为因素对提高道路安全非常有用。本研究的目的是使用曼彻斯特驾驶员行为问卷（DBQ）来测量科威特的各种类型的驾驶员行为。数据收集是通过使用在线问卷进行的。因子分析用于检验计算成三个因子结构的数据。然而，由于社会意愿偏见，这三个因素不能像其他研究那样分为错误、失误和违规类别。未来的研究应该进一步研究这个问题。
