Tóm tắt

The riding attitude of motorcyclists is an important key in the investigation and analysis of motorcyclists' behaviors in traffic flow. The main aims of this study are to explore factors associated with the riding attitudes of motorcyclists in Vietnam using a self‐reported questionnaire with Exploratory Factor analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) approaches. This study was conducted from January to March 2019, surveying randomly selected motorcyclists at least the age of 16 years in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. A sample consisting of 716 motorcyclists was used to analyze EFA and CFA. The results presented 11 items that were confirmed to compose the Vietnamese motorcyclists’ riding attitudes. Three factors, including attitude towards traffic flow, attitude towards rule obedience and speeding, and attitude towards fun riding were explored in this study. Besides, the study also showed that there were differences in riding attitudes among groups by age group, education level, riding experience, related to accidents in the last three years, and involvement in near-accidents in the last three years. The results of this study can inform the future study of the risky behaviors of Vietnamese motorcyclists
