A method for ascertaining a driving behavior of a driver of a vehicle includes: acquiring a three-dimensional signal of an acceleration sensor, the three-dimensional signal including a respective acceleration value in each of independent spatial directions; calculating a characteristic variable of the three-dimensional signal; and outputting the driving behavior based on the characteristic variable, via an output device, the characteristic variable being a measure of an aggressiveness of a driving behavior, and the characteristic variable including a fractal dimension of an embedding of the three-dimensional signal and/or a Kolmogorov entropy of the three-dimensional signal.
