“…In this sense, when consumers perceive risks, they assess those risks before making a decision (Weegels & Kanis, 2000). These authors also emphasized that the perception of risk is greater under unusual situations because the lack of prior knowledge is influenced by a number of factors that strengthen the perception of risk (Weegels & Kanis, 2000).…”

This paper aims to analyze the influence sales promotion types have on the relationship between perception of financial risk and perception of utilitarian and hedonic value on consumer purchase intentions. To this end, an experiment was conducted involving 589 participants divided into two groups defined by distinct scenarios in which the sales promotion type (monetary vs. non-monetary) was manipulated. The working hypotheses predicted a direct and positive relationship between the perception of (hedonic and utilitarian) consumption value and purchase intention for a promoted product and a negative relationship between the perception of consumption value and the perception of financial risk. In addition, it was supposed that the sales promotion type would moderate these direct relationships and that a monetary promotion would have a stronger effect on the relationship between purchase intention and perceived product utility, whereas a non-monetary promotion would have a stronger effect on the other relationships (hedonic value and financial risk perceptions). Analysis of the outcomes supported the proposed hypotheses.

“…The work is assumed to be performed during short, widely spaced periods of time, which has debatable consequences for accident risks. Low exposure times might statistically imply low accident probabilities, but has also been argued to increase rates of accidents per unit time worked due to a lack of practice in handling the seldom-encountered risks (Elvik 2006;Fischer et al 2005;Weegels and Kanis 2000).…”

Accident Analysis & Prevention

Firewood is commonly used around the world, but little is known about the work involved in its production and associated accidents. The objectives were to identify relationships between accidents and: time exposure, workers' age and sex, equipment used and work activities in family forestry's firewood production. Data from a postal survey in Northern Sweden were compared to a database of injuries in the same region. Most accidents occurred to 50-69 year old men, who also worked most hours. No significant differences in sex and age were found between expected and recorded accident frequencies when calculated from total work hours; however, when calculated using numbers of active persons significant differences were found for both age and sex. Frequency of accidents per unit worked time was higher for machines involving activities than for other activities. Accidents that occurred when using wedge splitter machines were responsible for most of this overrepresentation. Fingers were the most commonly injured body parts. Mean accident rate for the equipment used was 87 accidents per million work hours, and the rate was highest for wedge splitters (122 accidents per million work hours). Exposure to elevated risks due to violation of safety procedures is discussed, as well as possible preventative measures.

“…It was clear in the present study that such warnings had passed the point of optimum awareness, and were simply annoying and frustrating the users. The ultimate goal is to create a climate of safety in which the user feels confident that the directed actions to be followed are well thought out, and that characteristics that may lead to a false sense of safety have been eliminated (Weegels & Kanis, 2000).…”

Naïve subjects performed a direct out-of-the-box assembly and installation sequence for two models of hunters' tree stands. Their actions were timed and monitored in detail using an array of video cameras. After extensive analysis of their assembly errors and interactions with the packaged instructions, two alternative instruction sets were written, one with modified language, the other with additional user-friendly graphic material. Two additional groups of naïve subjects who assembled tree stands packed with these alternative instructions took significantly less time and made significantly fewer errors.
