- Abstract:
- The concept of "risk" and how its meaning is related to that of other concepts such as "danger", "hazard", "safety" and "uncertainty" has been studied for almost a century. When risk is involved, human decisions are conditioned by the different perception and elaboration of the relevant information connected to the choice process. For example, positive and negative feedback about past risk taking can affect future risk taking. People who are led to believe they are very competent at decision making see more opportunities in a risky choice and take more risks, while those led to believe they are not very competent see more threats and take fewer risks. During the preparation of an experiment on samples of cultural relevance, a deeper awareness of these concepts should be taken into consideration, as well as an informed knowledge of the mechanisms of decision making in presence of a possible damage.
