“…The dispositional cognitive factors of coping strategies. The cognitive determinants of coping strategies include risk perception and the evaluation of the possibility of coping with the threat, which significantly determine our decisions and our actions (Sjöberg, 2000;Slovic, 1987). Risk perception refers to the evaluation an individual has of potential direct harm to their well-being, in terms of the gravity and the probability of occurrence of the hazard.…”

“…This exposure presents in the form of spatial and temporal proximity in relation to the individuals' experience: this is the case after having been living close to a hazard for a long time (Navarro, 2017). These are contextual variables (Sjöberg, 2000;Sjöberg et al, 2004), which, in certain cases, can generate an absence of fear as regards the threat (Bickerstaff, 2004;Maderthaner et al, 1978). Thus, studies have demonstrated that the greater the size of the geographical area, the more the feeling of being sheltered from any threat is reduced (Roy, 2005).…”

Coastal flooding risks are becoming increasingly important because of the increasing vulnerability of coastal territories and the rise of ocean levels in relation to climate change. Studying the adaptation to these phenomena requires taking into account the coping strategies (problem-focused or emotional-focused coping) implemented by the inhabitants of the exposed territories. A theoretical model of situational and dispositional factors determining these strategies has been proposed and tested empirically with 583 inhabitants of the island of Guadeloupe, which is exposed to said coastal flooding risk. The fit index confirms the adequacy of the model. The results indicate that coastal flooding risk perception, difficulties to regulate emotions, and place attachment predict avoidance coping. Vigilant coping is only predicted by perceived action efficiency. The roles of duration of residence and distance from the sea have been highlighted.

“…An adapted version of the part of the questionnaire that included the five scenarios is shown in Appendix B. Each of these scenarios reflected social constructs that may interact with risk perception since knowledge may be arbitrary and a matter of social construction and risk perception reflects various thoughts, beliefs and constructs [64,65]. Scenario 1 regarded the construct of trust to the capabilities and expertise of others; trust is a key aspect of amplification and attenuation efforts [23].…”

In the aviation sector, the variability in the appreciation of safety risk perception factors and responses to risk behaviours has not been sufficiently studied for engineers and technicians. Through a questionnaire survey, this study investigated differences amongst professionals and trainees across eleven risk perception factors and five indicative risk behaviour scenarios. The findings indicated significant differences between the two groups in four factors and three scenarios as well as within groups. Moreover, age, years of work and study and educational level were other factors accounting for such differences within each group of professionals and trainees. The results showing these significant differences are aligned with relevant research about pilots and indicate that the appreciation of risk perception factors by aviation engineers and the development of their risk behaviours deserves more attention. Our findings cannot be generalised due to the small sample and its distribution across the demographic variables. However, the results of this study suggest the need tailoring risk communication and training to address the different degrees to which influences of risk perception factors are comprehended, and risk behaviours emerge in aviation engineering trainees and professionals. Further research could focus on the development of a respective uniform framework and tool for the specific workforce group and could administer surveys to more extensive and more representative samples by including open-ended questions and broader social, organisational and systemic factors.

“…About the nature of risk perceptions, three theoretical explanations have been put forwarded: cultural theory, affect heuristic and psychometric paradigm. Because cultural theory has limited predictive power in the empirical research (Sjöberg, 2000) and because affect heuristic not only covers risks but also contains benefits (Slovic & Peters, 2006), we focus mainly on psychometric paradigm in the present study. The psychometric paradigm emphasizes that risk is a combination of many factors such as knowledge, dread, control, catastrophic potential, equity, voluntariness and tamper with the nature.…”

One of the beliefs that is responsible for teachers' resistance to educationa l technologies (Ets) is risk perceptions. Risk psychology scholars describe risk perception as people's informal estimation of the probability of an event happening combined with an evaluation of how concerned they would be about the negative consequences of such an incident. About the nature of risk perceptions, three theoretical explanations have been put forwarded: cultural theory, affect heuristic and psychometric paradigm. Because cultural theory has limited predictive power in the empirical research a nd because affect heuristic not only covers risks but also contains benefits, we focus mainly on psychometric paradigm in the present study. The psychometric paradigm emphasizes that risk is a combination of many factors such as knowledge, dread, control, catastrophic potential, equity, voluntariness and tamper with the nature. The purpose of present study was to understand the predictive power of risk perceptions for pre-service teachers (PTs)' willingness to use Ets. We developed a questionnaire covering three sections: personal information, willingness to use Ets and risk perceptions. We administered this questionnaire to 425 Turkish PTs from different backgrounds (STEM and non-STEM branches). We benefited from factor analysis and hierarchical regression for data analyses. The results of factor analyze showed that six dimensions (dread, unnatural consequences, negative impacts on learning, noneducational purposes, traditional education and first-time use) constituted the PTs' risk perceptions. The regression results showed that certain risk perception dimensions were predictors of willingness to use Ets. At the end of the paper, we suggested implications based on enhancement strategies for teacher epistemology and risk mitigation opportunities.
