“心理测量”范式的主导地位和随之而来的强调人格特征的危害,导致很少注意带来的风险判断的个体差异。本研究探讨了风险活动经验的差异在多大程度上可以解释风险评估中的个体差异。问卷调查研究(n = 172)被用来探讨经验和风险认知之间的关系,在16个风险活动。预计这些关系对于自愿和非自愿活动会有所不同。经验的衡量包括对“影响”和“结果”效价以及“频率”的评估。“这三个方面的经验都与风险评估有关,但它们的关系取决于风险经验是否自愿。结果表明,开发更细粒度的索引风险经验的方法的重要性。
The dominance of the "psychometric" paradigm and the consequent emphasis on personality profiles of hazards has resulted in little attention bring given to individual variability in risk judgments. This study examines how far differences in experience of risk activities can explain individual variability in risk assessments. A questionnaire study (n = 172) was used to explore the relationships between experience and risk perceptions in relation to 16 risk activities. It was expected that these relationships would differ for voluntary and involuntary activities. Measures of experience included assessments of "impact" and "outcome" valence as well as "frequency." These three aspects of experience each related to risk assessment but their relationship depended on whether the risk experiences were voluntary or not. The results indicate the importance of developing more fine-grained ways of indexing risk experience.
