Hazard Perception Research: A Critique and Proposal (Fishbein, Tornado)

Abstract

dc:description

Hazard perception research has been based on the assumption that an individual's hazard behavior is a function of his hazard perception (his subjective beliefs about the hazard). Yet empirical evidence on the perception-behavior relationship has been contradictory. Further, the behavioral impacts of such other commonly studied variables as hazard experience or socioeconomic characteristics have been equally contradictory; terminology in the field has been poorly defined; and theory has been inadequate.
