Perceived Risk, Trust, and Democracy
Tập 13 Số 6 - Trang 675-682 - 1993
Risk management has become increasingly politicized and contentious. Polarized
views, controversy, and overt conflict have become pervasive. Risk‐perception
research has recently begun to provide a new perspective on this problem.
Distrust in risk analysis and risk management plays a central role in this
perspective. According to this view, the conflicts and controversies surrounding
risk manageme...
Gender, Race, and Perception of Environmental Health Risks
Tập 14 Số 6 - Trang 1101-1108 - 1994
This paper reports the results of a national survey in which perceptions of
environmental health risks were measured for 1275 white and 214 nonwhite
persons. The results showed that white women perceived risks to be much higher
than did white men, a result that is consistent with previous studies. However,
this gender difference was not true of nonwhite women and men, whose perceptions
of risk wer...
Five‐Hundred Life‐Saving Interventions and Their Cost‐Effectiveness
Tập 15 Số 3 - Trang 369-390 - 1995
We gathered information on the cost‐effectiveness of life‐saving interventions
in the United States from publicly available economic analyses. “Life‐saving
interventions” were defined as any behavioral and/or technological strategy that
reduces the probability of premature death among a specified target population.
We defined cost‐effectiveness as the net resource costs of an intervention per
year...
Perception of Hazards: The Role of Social Trust and Knowledge
Tập 20 Số 5 - Trang 713-720 - 2000
Recent research indicates that social trust of those who manage a hazard is
strongly correlated to judgments about the hazard's risk and benefits. The
present study investigates the more specific question of “For which hazards is
this?” It was postulated that when an individual lacks knowledge about a hazard,
social trust of authorities managing the hazard determines perceived risks and
benefits. ...
Risk Perception and Communication Unplugged: Twenty Years of Process1
Tập 15 Số 2 - Trang 137-145 - 1995
Over the past twenty years, risk communication researchers and practitioners
have learned some lessons, often at considerable personal price. For the most
part, the mistakes that they have made have been natural, even intelligent ones.
As a result, the same pitfalls may tempt newcomers to the field. This essay
offers a personal (even confessional) history of the field over this period. It
identifi...
The Psychological Distance of Climate Change
Tập 32 Số 6 - Trang 957-972 - 2012
Avoiding dangerous climate change is one of the most urgent social risk issues
we face today and understanding related public perceptions is critical to
engaging the public with the major societal transformations required to combat
climate change. Analyses of public perceptions have indicated that climate
change is perceived as distant on a number of different dimensions. However, to
date there ha...
The Influence of Trust and Perceptions of Risks and Benefits on the Acceptance of Gene Technology
Tập 20 Số 2 - Trang 195-204 - 2000
A causal model explaining acceptance of gene technology was tested. It was
hypothesized that trust in institutions using gene technology or using modified
products has a positive impact on perceived benefit and a negative influence on
perceived risk of this technology. Furthermore, perceived benefit and perceived
risk determine acceptance of biotechnology. In other words, trust has an
indirect inf...
What Are the Sources of Exposure to Eight Frequently Used Phthalic Acid Esters in Europeans?
Tập 26 Số 3 - Trang 803-824 - 2006
Phthalic acid esters (phthalates) are used as plasticizers in numerous consumer
products, commodities, and building materials. Consequently, phthalates are
found in human residential and occupational environments in high concentrations,
both in air and in dust. Phthalates are also ubiquitous food and environmental
contaminants. An increasing number of studies sampling human urine reveal the
ubiqui...
Risk Perceptions, General Environmental Beliefs, and Willingness to Address Climate Change
Tập 19 Số 3 - Trang 461-471 - 1999
The research reported here examines the relationship between risk perceptions
and willingness to address climate change. The data are a national sample of
1225 mail surveys that include measures of risk perceptions and knowledge tied
to climate change, support for voluntary and government actions to address the
problem, general environmental beliefs, and demographic variables. Risk
perceptions mat...
Salient Value Similarity, Social Trust, and Risk/Benefit Perception
Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 353-362 - 2000
It was postulated that shared values determine social trust in institutions and
persons related to a technology: One has trust in people holding similar salient
values. Furthermore, it was hypothesized that social trust has a positive
influence on perceived benefits and a negative impact on perceived risks.
Results of a survey of University of Zürich students indicated that the proposed
causal mod...
