Korean translation and validation of the multidimensional driving style inventory.

ABSTRACT: The most used self-assessment method for assessing driving style is the Multidimensional Driving Style Inventory (MDSI). This study aims to adapt the MDSI to Korean drivers (MDSI-K) and confirm the eight-factor driving style structure of the original version. Six hundred forty drivers aged 20-70 agreed to participate in this study. All participants had at least one year of driving experience. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to determine whether the original MDSI fit the Korean driving style structure, and the goodness-of-fit values were not acceptable. Through correlation analysis, 11 survey questions were removed, and MDSI-K, which has the same structure as the original MDSI, was derived. Subsequent exploratory factor analysis yielded an 8-factor structure with several cross-lo
