Abstract

Speed is the amount that indicates the distance traveled by the vehicle divided by the time traveled. Sensation-seeking and locus of control play an important role when humans choose speed options while driving. Sensation seeking is a personality tra feature expressed in search of new, varied, complex experiences and intense accompanied by a willingness to take risks in order to feel the experience. Meanwhile, the locus of control is the belief that the individual has about the causes that occur in the life of the individual. This study was conducted to find out how much influence sensation seeking as well as locus of control on a person's driving speed choices and know how much locus of control affects a person when looking for sensation. Data for the study was obtained through an online questionnaire. This research will use Structural Equation Modeling Method or SEM. The results of the study found that sensation seeking is a factor that greatly influences a person's speed choice of 65.61%, while the locus of control is a factor that slightly affects a person's speed choice of 1.64%. In addition, the locus of control is quite affecting a person when looking for sensations which is 23.04%.
