Use of multiple indicators multiple causes (MIMIC) method to investigate quantitative inference in socioeconomic determinants on motorcyclist stress by Iqra Mona Meilinda, Sugiarto Sugiarto, Sofyan M. Saleh, Ashfa Achmad

“…Such strategies are particularly vital in developing countries to reduce stress and improve road safety. This research provides a foundation for developing practical solutions aimed at minimizing driving stress and enhancing the well-being of motorcyclists in high-risk environments. • A MIMIC model was applied to analyze the relationship between stress variables in the time and frequency domains based on HRV data. • The model identified significant causal relationships, emphasizing the pivotal role of socioeconomic factors in influencing motorcyclists' driving stress. • The model demonstrated strong statistical performance with key indicators: chi-square = 38.749, GFI = 0.958, CFI = 0.982, AGFI = 0.893, TLI = 0.961, and RMSEA = 0.057, confirming its robustness and reliability.…”
