The study examined recent data on societal risk perception gathered from two Egyptian samples, and compared these data with data gathered from French and Greek samples. The sample consisted of 430 Egyptian participants who were presented a 141-item risk questionnaire (e.g. nuclear power plants, childbirth), and instructed to judge the degree of risk they associate with each item. Overall, the Egyptians were mainly concerned about all hazards related to violence, terrorism and warfare and by all hazards related to substances considered as toxic. They were also mainly concerned about some hazards related to industrial activity. Very few important differences were found that could be attributable to gender or age. The differences in overall mean rating between Egyptian participants and Greek or French participants was lower than the difference observed between Greek and French participants but the Egyptian participants ranked their concerns in a way that is somewhat different than that observed among European participants
