Abstract
The purpose of this study was to clarify ‘peace of mind’ in relation to driving, from the perspective of clinical psychology. We inquired normal drivers and less frequent drivers about the types of anxieties they experienced when driving, because anxiety is known to be the opposite of peace of mind. We categorized the anxieties expressed by the drivers. Then, we interpreted these categories by using clinical psychological theories. Based on the results, we have discussed possible measures for reducing anxieties related to driving.
