Risk perception

Risk perception or people’s judgment of future outcomes that may occur if they or other people follow a given course of action may come about either through an analytical or through an experiential process. The analytical mode involves deliberatively and systematically taking into the various dimensions of the risk, such as the likelihood of events, the utility of these events, and the number of individuals affected. The experiential mode involves an affective and intuitive reaction to the risk at stake. Both modes are useful in some circumstances, but both may also give rise to predictable departures from the objective magnitude of the risk.
