由于各种危险，人们容忍不同程度的风险。先前的研究表明，危险的心理测量学特性预测了人们对危险的容忍度。然而，这项工作没有考虑到地震等事件。本研究测试了地震在风险特性和风险承受能力方面的得分，并与其他五种常见的危险进行了比较。来自新西兰惠灵顿的参与者(N=139)使用风险特征和风险容忍度的测量方法对这六种危险进行了评级。与会者展示了对不同危险的不同程度的风险承受能力，并认为地震具有与核电相似的风险特征。他们还倾向于针对地震的不同风险缓解策略(更多的政府资金)，而不是其他五种风险(更强有力的立法)。此外，根据不同于其他五种灾害的风险特征来预测地震风险容忍度。这些发现将有助于风险传播者确定针对哪些风险特征来影响公民的风险承受能力。
People tolerate different levels of risk owing to a variety of hazards. Previous research shows that the psychometric properties of hazards predict people's tolerance of them. However, this work has not taken into account events such as earthquakes. The present study tested how earthquakes score vis-à-vis risk properties and risk tolerance as compared to five other familiar hazards. Participants from Wellington, New Zealand (N=139) rated these six hazards using measures of risk characteristics and risk tolerance. Participants demonstrated different levels of risk tolerance for the different hazards and viewed earthquakes as having similar risk features to nuclear power. They also preferred different risk mitigation strategies for earthquakes (more government funding) to the other five hazards (stronger legislation). In addition, earthquake risk tolerance was predicted by different risk characteristics than the other five hazards. These findings will help risk communicators in identifying which risk characteristics to target to influence citizens' risk tolerance.
