The invention relates to a method for ascertaining a degree of awareness (m, z) of a vehicle operator while the operator is driving the vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle. A viewing direction (rotx, roty) of the vehicle operator towards a surroundings region (1) which can be viewed by the operator is detected using a sensor of the vehicle, and a probability distribution (W) is assigned to the region (1) which can be viewed by the operator, said distribution being used to ascertain a degree of awareness (m, z) of the vehicle operator using the detected viewing direction (rotx, roty) of the vehicle operator. The invention further relates to a computer program product which is designed to carry out a method according to the invention; a calculating unit or a processing device, preferably a control unit or a control device for a vehicle; and a safety device or a safety system for a vehicle, in particular a driver assistance system for a motor vehicle.
