本研究使用条件风险评估来检验行为经验在风险判断中的作用。对青少年和年轻人（10-30岁; N = 577）进行了调查，了解他们对自然灾害和行为相关风险的风险判断，包括他们对这些事件的个人经历。结果表明，经历过自然灾害或从事特定风险行为的参与者估计他们经历该事件或行为导致的负面结果的可能性小于没有此类经验的人。这些发现挑战了风险判断激励行为的概念，相反，风险判断可能反映了行为经验。研究结果对健康教育和风险沟通具有启示意义。
This study used conditional risk assessments to examine the role of behavioral experiences in risk judgments. Adolescents and young adults (ages 10-30; N = 577) were surveyed on their risk judgments for natural hazards and behavior-linked risks, including their personal experiences with these events. Results indicated that participants who had experienced a natural disaster or engaged in a particular risk behavior estimated their chance of experiencing a negative outcome resulting from that event or behavior as less likely than individuals without such experience. These findings challenge the notion that risk judgments motivate behavior and instead suggest that risk judgments may be reflective of behavioral experiences. The results have implications for health education and risk communication.
