本文以美国一个具有代表性的家庭样本为基础，探讨并具体说明了风险认知对家庭防范恐怖主义的影响。这是通过构建一个路径模型，其中包括因素，既预测风险认知和其他介导的准备行为的影响。一个未加权的国家样本被随机分割，以允许在校准样本上开发路径模型，在交叉验证样本上确认，并使用Mplus在完整样本上验证。对未加权样本进行分析。结果得出的结论是，风险认知并没有显着的直接影响准备行为，其效果在很大程度上是由知识，感知效能和铣削行为冥想。这些研究结果的理论和实践意义进行了讨论，并为未来的研究提出了建议。
This article explores and specifies the impact of risk perception on household preparedness for terrorism based on a representative sample of households in the United States. This was done by constructing a path model, which included factors that both predict risk perception and others that mediate its effect on preparedness behaviors. An unweighted sample of the nation was randomly split to allow a path model to be developed on a calibration sample, confirmed on a cross-validation sample, and rerun on the full sample using Mplus. Analyses were conducted on the unweighted samples. Results led to the conclusion that risk perception does not have a significant direct effect on preparedness behavior and that its effect is largely meditated by knowledge, perceived efficacy, and milling behavior. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed and recommendations are offered for future research.
