The research aims at identifying self-assertiveness and its predictive significance for the quality of life among Saudi women drivers in Riyadh. The sample consisted of (455) Saudi women drivers from different age groups and educational and occupational levels. The researcher used the self-assertiveness scale developed by Rathus (1975), which was adapted to the context by Al-Johani (2011). Also used the Quality of Life scale by Al-Sayed (2018). The results showed that simple regression demonstrated the ability of self-assertiveness to predict the significance of quality of life. In addition, the results showed that 25% of women drivers had low levels of assertiveness. Also, the percentage of women drivers with middle-level self-assertiveness is 48.5%, and the percentage of women drivers with high-level self-assertiveness is 2.6.4%. To sum up, the results showed that the percentage of women drivers with low quality of life is 27.7%. Also, the percentage of women drivers with a middle-level quality of life is 47.9%, and the percentage of women drivers with a high-level quality of life is 24.4%. The results showed that there was a direct, medium, and statistically significant correlation at the level of (0.01) between the scores of a sample of Saudi woman drivers from Riyadh on the self-assertiveness scale and their scores on the quality-of-life scale. Also, there were statistically significant differences in the scores for quality of life due to age (46-55 years). Moreover, the results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the scores of the quality of life due to university level and that there were statistically significant differences between the scores of the quality of life due to job in favor of women drivers and employees in the government sector. In addition, the results showed that statistically significant differences in self-assertiveness between women drivers could be attributed to age. Also, the results showed that statistically significant differences in self-assertiveness between women drivers could be attributed to the educational level of the preparatory postgraduate. Finally, the results showed that statistically significant differences in the scores of the assertiveness of women drivers could be attributed to the jobs of the preparatory employees in the government sector.
