Kajian ini dijalankan untuk menentukan kepentingan persepsi risiko dan keminatan
terhadap tingkah laku menunggang motosikal yang berisiko dan hubungan antara
ketiga-tiga komponen ini. Survei soal selidik telah dijalankan terhadap penunggang
motosikal untuk mengumpul maklumat yang berkenaan seperti umur, jantina,
pengalaman memandu dan tanggapan risiko, keminatan dan tingkah laku menunggang
berisiko. Sistem skala 5-titik telah digunakan dalam soal selidik tersebut. Kajian ini
mendapati bahawa keminatan penunggang motosikal mempengaruhi lebih banyak
daripada persepsi risiko terhadap tingkah laku menunggang berisiko berdasarkan
keputusan yang diperolehi daripada analisis Model Persamaan Struktur (SEM). Ini
menunjukkan bahawa proses intuitif adalah proses utama bagi penunggang motosikal
di Malaysia semasa mereka menunggang di jalan raya. Di samping itu, umur
penunggang motosikal memberi kesan ketara terhadap tingkah laku berisiko dengan
anggaran pekali -0.037. Ini menunjukkan bahawa penunggang motosikal yang lebih
tua jarang melakukan tingkah laku berisiko semasa menunggang di jalan raya. Selain
itu, pengalaman dalam memandu (tahun mendapat lesen) didapati ada hubungan
positif dengan persepsi risiko pengawal motif dengan anggaran pekali 0.012 dan
hubungan negatif dengan kesan positif dengan anggaran pekali -0.032. Ini
menunjukkan bahawa penunggang motosikal yang baru sahaja mendapat lesen
penunggang motosikal lebih cenderung untuk berfikir bahawa kelakuan risiko yang
dinyatakan tersebut adalah tidak begitu risiko dan mereka lebih suka untuk bertindak
tingkah laku berisiko tersebut ketika menunggang motosikal.

This study was done to determine the significance of risk perception and positive
affect towards motorcyclists’ risky riding behaviour and the relationship among these
three components. A questionnaire survey had been conducted to collect the related
information such as age, gender, driving experience and self-reported risk perception,
positive affect, risky riding behaviour from the motorcyclists. A 5-point scale system
was used for respondents to answer the self-reported questions. The study found that
positive affect influences more than risk perception on risky riding behaviour based
on the results obtained from Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis. This
shows that intuitive processes are the major process for the motorcyclists in Malaysia
rather than rational processes while they are riding on the road. Moreover, the age of
motorcyclists significantly affects the risky behaviour with an estimate coefficient of
-0.037 which showed that elder motorcyclists seldom perform risky behaviour while
riding on the road. Besides, the driving experience (years of obtaining license)
obtained positive relationship on the motorcyclists’ risk perception with an estimate
coeffiicient of 0.012 and negative relationship with positive affect with estimate
coefficient of -0.032. This showed that motorcyclists that just newly obtained the
motorcyclist license would tend to think that those stated behaviour were lower risk in
overall and more likely to behave the particular riding risky behaviour.
