The study utilized a survey methodology, and questionnaire as an instrument were carried out among 115 students at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) from Faculty Cognitive Sciences and Human Development (FCSHD).

The result of the finding showed there was a significant relationship between emotion, personality traits, role-modeling and drivers’ attitude toward road safety. However, the finding of this study showed that there was no difference between male and female drivers in term of their attitude toward road safety. Recommendations of the study were also suggested.
