摘要处理和承担风险是当前社会的核心问题,其特点是关于风险的争论和冲突加剧(贝克,吉登斯)。即使有很好的知识,减少人们冒险的政策和战略往往不如预期成功。专家们对老百姓不听从劝告感到困惑,认为人们缺乏理解。虽然在许多情况下这可能是真的,但越来越多的研究表明,人们在冒险时往往有很好的知识,而不仅仅是无知或错误的信息。越来越多的研究提供了关于人们冒险行为的复杂性、动态性和矛盾性的知识。然而,很少有人试图将这一知识体系系统化。这篇文章有助于这样一个企业。它建议区分不同的冒险动机,不同的控制水平,以及风险的自反性如何植根于社会领域的一些方式。它还探讨了冒险是如何发展和保护有价值的身份的一部分。文章的结论是,在不同的领域有很好的证据表明,如何结构和文化的力量联合收割机和形状的风险承担,而人们承担风险,以发展一个有价值的身份,并保护it.Advancing专家的风险承担的理解和改变人们的风险承担需要考虑和接近更大的社会背景和个人的风险实践在日常生活中。
Abstract Dealing with and taking risks are central issues of current societies which had been characterised by heightened debates and conflicts about risk (Beck, Giddens). Even though there is good knowledge available, policies and strategies to reduce people’s risk-taking are often less successful than expected. Experts are puzzled about common people not following good advice presuming people’s lack of understanding. While this might be true in many cases a growing body of research shows, rather than being merely ignorant or misinformed, people often have good knowledge when taking risks. A growing body of research provides knowledge about the complexities, dynamics and contradictions of people’s risk-taking. However, there have been little attempts to systematise this body of knowledge. This article contributes to such an enterprise. It suggests distinguishing between different motives for risk-taking, different levels of control and a number of ways how reflexivity about risk is rooted in the social realm. It also explores how risk-taking is part of developing and protecting a valued identity. The article concludes, across different domains there is good evidence for how structural and cultural forces combine and shape risk-taking while people take risks to develop a valued identity and to protect it. Advancing expert’s understanding of risk-taking and change people’s risk-taking require considering and approaching the larger social contexts and individual risk practices in everyday life.
