Abstract

The present study investigated Turkish drivers’ levels of acceptance of automated driving,along with possible motivational and individual differences, and the antecedents of this acceptance.Specifically, the associations of self-determination theory constructs of the relative autonomy continuumand the general causality orientations (i.e., autonomy, control and impersonal orientations) as themotivational factors for the task of driving with the accepted level of automation were examined. A moreintrinsic motivation for driving and autonomy orientation were expected to be negatively related to theaccepted level of automation, while extrinsic motivation and an impersonal orientation were expected tobe positively related to the acceptance of automation. In addition, the relationship of the general locus ofcontrol and the traffic locus of control constructs with the accepted level of automation were investigated,and a positive relationship between an external locus of control and accepted level of automation wasexpected. The analyses were conducted with a sample of 203 drivers (49.8% women, 51.2% men) betweenthe ages of 20 and 60. The results yielded a general trend toward supporting the hypotheses, in addition tolow levels of acceptance for this technology, with the strongest association being the positive correlationbetween the fate dimension of the traffic locus of control and accepted level of automation.

Özet

Bu çalışmada Türk sürücülerinin araçtaki otomasyon sistemlerini kabul etme düzeyleri ve bunun olası yordayıcıları olan motivasyon ve bireysel farklılık değişkenleri incelenmiştir. Öz-belirleyicilik kuramı kavramları olan göreli özerklik doğrusu ve genel nedensellik yönelimleri (özerk, kontrol, kişisel olmayan yönelim) ile araçta kabul edilen otomasyon seviyesi arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. Araç sürmek için daha içsel bir motivasyon ve özerk bir yönelimin kabul edilen otomasyon seviyesiyle olumlu yönlü, dışsal motivasyon ve kişisel olmayan bir yönelimin ise olumsuz yönlü ilişki göstermesi beklenmiştir. Ayrıca genel kontrol odağı ve trafikte kontrol odağı değişkenlerinin araçta kabul edilen otomasyon seviyesi ile ilişkisi incelenmiş ve dışsal kontrol odağının araçta daha yüksek seviyede otomasyonu kabul etme ile olumlu yönlü ilişki göstermesi beklenmiştir. Analizler, yaşları 20 ile 60 arasında değişen 203 (% 49.8 kadın, % 51.2 erkek) katılımcı ile yürütülmüştür. Sonuçlar genel olarak hipotezleri destekleyen bir eğilim göstermiştir ve en güçlü ilişki trafikte kontrol odağının kader boyutuyla kabul edilen otomasyon seviyesi arasındaki pozitif korelasyon bulgusudur.
