Behaviour in uncertainty and its social implications.

Samenvatting

The uncertainties, risks, and hazards that confront the ordinary person at work, at play, and in moments of crisis and the common patterns of behaviour that emerge from the subject of the book. The author first explores a problem repeatedly faced by everyone, assessing evidence, and the manner in which people cope with uncertainty when faced with differing amounts of evidence. From a study of gambling behavior, he turns to other "gambles"- uncertainties that confront the motorist; gambling with life in both attempted and actual suicide; and states of uncertainty and risk- taking in the world of sport and play.
