Health Physics, 1988
The risks of occupational exposure to radiation need fuller and more explicit characterization. They also need a more developed quantitative comparison with more familiar occupational hazards. To achieve this, some criterion is needed for establishing the amount of detriment one should attribute to different harmful effects, e.g., from accidents at ...

Risk and Inequality Perceptions [PDF]
, 2001 We examine the relationship between risk analysis and inequality analysis, using a questionnaire-experimental approach .The experiments focus on the effect of income transformations on the perceived rankings of income distributions in either a risk or inequality context. Both context and income levels are important in influencing rankings.

Risk assessment and perception
Injury Control and Safety Promotion, 2003Injury prevention efforts often focus on reducing the risk of potentially dangerous activities, facilities or equipment, such as diving, swimming pools or flotation devices. This paper aims to clarify the concepts of risk assessment and risk perception.

Cyclists’ perception of risk in roundabouts
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2008Converting an intersection into a roundabout improves motor vehicle safety, but a similar safety effect is not found for car-bicycle collisions. Very little is known about the reasons behind these collisions. In this study a first step towards an understanding of the reasons behind these collisions is taken.

Risk Analysis, 1998
Risk perception is sometimes measured by means of judgments about worry, sometimes as perceived risk more directly. However, perceived level of risk calls for a more intellectual judgment and worry tends to refer to emotional reactions. These two are therefore not the same and need not be strongly correlated.

Accuracy of smokers' risk perceptions
Nicotine & Tobacco Research, 1998In response to disagreements about the extent to which smokers recognize the full risk of smoking-induced illness, an attempt was made to review all articles that have investigated smokers' risk perceptions. These diverse studies are grouped here into four categories, depending on the type of risk judgment solicited by researchers.

Perceptions of High Risk Sports
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1997High risk sports were rated as to risk, appeal, and likelihood of participation by 282 men and 162 women. Ascending order of perceived risk was skiing, scuba diving, bungee jumping, rock climbing, motorcycle racing, hang gliding, cliff jumping, and skydiving.

Perception of risk - The public’s perception of risk and the question of irrationality
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1981Abstract The future likelihood of a hazardous event is predicted from its frequency per unit of past time or by aggregating the influence of the variables that determine it. It is assumed that accurate scientific measurement provides the best estimate, and that public perceptions, if discrepant, are ‘irrational’. Certainly, perception

Nederlands tijdschrift voor tandheelkunde, 2002
After having delineated the concept of risk and having described the type of risks that are relevant to dental practice, an overview of empirical and theoretical work on risk perception is given. The perception of risks is determined both by the actual magnitude and by perceptual bias, originating from either general perceptual phenomena such as ...
