Looking for a safe haven after fancy thrills
Visitors’ risk perceptions have been found to influence the on‐site behaviour of tourists and their intention to return to a destination or to recommend it to others. The present study analyses the perception of tourism risks in the Tyrol, Austria. Building on the psychometric paradigm, participants (N = 207) assessed 15 vacation risks on nine risk characteristics that are derived from psychometric research and completed with characteristics rele…
Informing the public about information and participation strategies in the siting of mobile communication base stations
Informing the public and ensuring their participation are considered important characteristics for a successful siting of mobile communication base stations. However, there is only sparse empirical evidence for this presumption. In particular, nothing is known about whether informing people that a siting decision is based on public information and participation activities has any positive effects. The experimental study presented here investigate…
Framing effects on risk perception of nanotechnology
How do people judge nanotechnology risks that are completely unfamiliar to them? Drawing on results of previous studies on framing and risk perception, two hypotheses about potential influences on nanotechnology risk perception were examined in an experimental study: 1) Risk perception of nanotechnology is influenced by its benefit perception. 2) Risk perception of nanotechnology is influenced by the context in which nanotechnology is embedded, s…
The Impacts of Precautionary Measures and the Disclosure of Scientific Uncertainty on EMF Risk Perception and Trust
This study evaluates the impact on risk perception and trust in public health protection resulting from disclosure of information about implementation of precautionary measures and from the disclosure of scientific uncertainty in the area of mobile telephony. Based on an experimental design, the study supports our recent findings (Wiedemann and Schütz, 2005 Wiedemann, P. M. and Schütz, H. 2005. The precautionary principle and risk perception: Exp…
How to deal with dissent among experts. Risk evaluation of EMF in a scientific dialogue
This article describes the results of a scientific discourse which aimed at exploring the reasons for differences in expert health risk assessment of radio frequency electromagnetic fields of mobile telephony. It starts with describing the structure of the discourse. Then, the reasons for the conflicting risk assessments are discussed. Differences are due to the selection and evaluation of relevant scientific studies by applying different scienti…

Risk judgements and intuitive reasoning about the risks of genetically engineered products
The research reported in this paper investigates the reasoning (or arguments) 'behind' intuitive judgements on risks of genetically engineered products. Each participant of the study (N = 72) was asked to rate two products out of a list of 12 genetically engineered products (which were selected from two fields of application for genetic engineering: medicine and foodstuffs) with respect to its risks. The subjects were asked to describe the reason…
