“…The risk field is wide-ranging, interdisciplinary and includes several philosophical issues in epistemology, philosophy of science and psychology topics. The distinction between know-how and know-that [13,65] , the meaning of knowledge as the "epistemically most justified beliefs" [66] , the risk field as a scientific discipline [8,10,67] , the influences of human cognitive system [61,68,69] and behavior [70][71][72] , and the implications of the probability interpretations [33,73] are some examples of the fundamental topics of research.…”

An evolutionary, diverse, and complex path of the risk conceptualization has been built along with the history of mankind. The current understanding and the variety of methods available to deal with risk and uncertainty are linked to the achievements made by several academics and researchers in the past. However, very little of the risk analysis literature has attempt to explicitly bridge or recognize this fundamental construction for organizational and research purposes. This conceptual paper presents the results of a literature research in a timeline framework. The significant accomplishments that collaborated to the modern knowledge in the field of risk are organized in five distinct phases and their connections to modern research topics are discussed. The aim is to provide a condensed but comprehensive overview of the foundations and evolution of the risk field and link the different conceptual paths that currently exist in risk analysis research. The present paper contributes to a systemic view of the risk discipline, which we believe will be a helpful review from which academy and industry readers would benefit.

“…The exploratory factor analysis of age differences shows that adults aged 60 + more consistently rely on affective and experiential information processing than adults aged < 60. This can be explained by the decline of cognitive information processing associated with ageing, where older individuals tend to process less information and make qualitatively judgments guided by affect (Helm and Reyna, 2018;Mikels et al, 2015;Peters et al, 2008;Reyna et al, 2015;Rivers et al, 2008). This information is relevant for transportation agencies that aim at increasing active mobility through community programs and behaviour change interventions, given that different populations will be more responsive to particular information formats (numerical vs affective/experiential).…”

Knowledge and risk perception about an Ebola virus outbreak: a comparative study of Ghana and Liberia

Background: New and emerging infectious diseases such as the Ebola virus and the recent coronavirus create ideal conditions for cross-border disease outbreaks. The need to undertake comparative studies across contexts in affected regions becomes important for health communication and policy decision making. The purpose of this study is to compare the differences in knowledge, risk perception, affect, and self-efficacy about Ebola between respondents in an affected and an unaffected but proximate country in West Africa. Method: This study used a survey with multi-stage sampling of community members in two peri-urban districts in Ghana and Liberia. Results: Transmission knowledge lowered comparative vulnerability and perceived risk, while knowledge about signs and symptoms and knowledge about prevention increased selfefficacy. But knowledge was not a predictor of self-efficacy. Affective imagery analysis presents distinct affective profiles of respondents in the two countries. Conclusions: Different kinds of knowledge relate to risk perception and self-efficacy differently and this should be considered when developing health communication campaigns. Health and risk communication should no longer be just a context specific affair but must have a regional or sub-regional component that considers unaffected but at-risk countries. Finally, risk and health communicators need to consider the affective states of community members because affective states may indicate the basic feeling (individual and societal) profile of the audience, which will be beneficial for determining the level and type of messaging likely to be effective.
