Abstract

The perception of risks (e.g., diseases, accidents, natural hazards) is investigated, using a multi-task, multimodal approach. We studied the proximities among 18 risks induced by three tasks: judgment of similarity, conditional prediction and dimensional evaluation. The comparative judgments (similarity and prediction) were reasonably close but the dimensional evaluation did not correlate highly with either similarity or prediction.
