Disclosed is a technique of determining a driver's tension level (tension state degree) in vehicle driving in detail with a simple configuration. According to the technique, a nonlinear analyzing unit 110 of a driver's tension level determining apparatus 100 determining the tension level in driving of a driver acquires the driving operation amounts relating to driving operations of a driver (the operation amounts relating to operations of an accelerator pedal, a brake pedal, a handle, and the like), and then calculates the Lyapunov exponents about the driving operation amounts by performing nonlinear analysis processing. A frequency spectrum analyzing unit 120 calculates the power spectral density of time series data of the Lyapunov exponents, and then calculates an integrated value of a predetermined low frequency band in the calculated power spectral density. A driver's tension level determining unit 130 determines that the driver's tension level is any one of an excessive tension state, a moderate tension state, and an insufficient tension state using the integrated value of the predetermined low frequency band.
