人类已经发展出各种复杂的策略，以增加他们在复杂环境中生存和成功的可能性。在当代户外探险场景中，知识，培训和技术的进步已经被采用，以使我们更安全，或使我们感到更安全。易发生雪崩的地形就是这样一个复杂的环境，其中不确定性是关键。在苏格兰国家户外训练中心格伦莫尔小屋进行的为期3年的强制性雪崩收发器、铲子和探头使用试验期间，进行了一项小样本试点研究。通过半结构化访谈调查了设备可能对参与者的风险认知和冒险行为产生的感知影响。雪崩风险的认知模式和与安全设备的关系有很大的专业知识水平之间的差异，并宣布的风险行为和行动之间的差异，乐观的偏见和防御性否认的示范是显而易见的。更广泛的影响，建议在冒险设置的风险和技术的主观关系，在我们的休闲更普遍。
ABSTRACT Humans have developed strategies of varying complexity to augment their probability of survival and success in complex environments. In contemporary outdoor adventure scenarios, advances in knowledge, training and technology have been adopted to make us safer, or make us feel safer. Avalanche-prone terrain is one such complex environment where uncertainty is key. A small-sample pilot study was conducted during a 3-year trial of mandatory avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe use at Glenmore Lodge, sportscotland National Outdoor Training Centre. The perceived effects that the equipment might have on participants’ risk perceptions and risk-taking behaviour were investigated through semi-structured interviews. Patterns of avalanche risk perception and relationship with the safety equipment varied strongly between expertise levels, and a discrepancy between declared risk behaviour and action, demonstrations of optimistic bias and defensive denial were evident. Wider implications are suggested regarding subjective relationships with both risk and technology in adventure settings and, in our leisure more generally.
