Perceptions of ecological risk from natural hazards
This study examines lay perceptions of ecological risk (risk to the health and productivity of natural environments) associated with natural hazards. Ratings of 30 specific characteristics influencing risk judgments and one general risk assessment were obtained from 68 survey respondents for five natural hazards, as well as 28 technologically based hazards. Analyses revealed that the set of natural hazards, on average, were perceived to pose a mo…

Balancing Personal Needs with Environmental Preservation
A taxonomy of values that specifies three domains (i.e., economic, social, and universal) was developed and used to explore the influence personal values have on people's decisions when placed in ecological dilemmas. Hypothetical scenarios, which pitted economic need against environmental preservation, were used to elicit individual decisions. The influence of economic and social conditions was also experimentally tested. Results from 144 Univers…

Integrative Complexity in Reasoning About the Persian Gulf War and the Accountability to Skeptical Audience Hypothesis
Given earlier polling reports, it was predicted that (a) a majority of Canadian subjects would support the U.S. military intervention in the Persian Gulf crisis and (b) following Tetlock's (1983) accountability‐to‐skeptical‐audience hypothesis, these subjects would display lower levels of integrative complexity in reasoning about the causes of the Gulf War than subjects who indicated opposition to the U.S. action. As expected, a significantly gre…
