Driving is a complex daily activity that requires rapid information processing and decision-making. Due to the potential for human error, this process can pose significant risks. Research indicates that the human factor—the most critical and complex component in the driving safety triangle (vehicle-environment-driver)—profoundly influences driving behavior. This study analyzes factors contributing to the arousal of negative emotions and their impact on driving behavior. Driving often triggers negative emotions such as anger and stress, jeopardizing both mental health and road safety. Using the standardized Manchester Driving Behavior Questionnaire and a custom survey based on literature, data were collected from 436 students at K. N. Toosi University of Technology. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and partial least squares SEM (PLS-SEM) were employed for analysis. Key factors—including age, gender, driving experience, personality traits, and environmental conditions (e.g., weather, lighting, time of day)—were found to significantly influence negative emotions and driving behavior. Results demonstrated high validity and reliability of the proposed model, with Cronbach’s alpha exceeding 0.7. Independent predictor variables showed no multicollinearity. All 11 hypotheses were supported, and the Q² value confirmed the model’s predictive power. By offering critical insights into driving behavior, this study provides a valuable foundation for future research and practical interventions to mitigate driving risks and enhance road safety.
