Recent #preprint just submitted for peer-review: We ran an online survey to find out how people (N = 537) interpreted 22 different Norwegian probability phrases. https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/4ngja #risk #RiskPerception

Our presentation about #RegisteredReports from last week. We wanted to introduce this research and publication approach to those of our colleagues who may have been unaware of it. We gave three examples from projects we've recently been involved in.

I presented a poster at a conference today, but I don't think a single person saw it! Please take a look to justify the resources I put into it.

We compared how people lining up for COVID-19 testing in 2020 compared to the average population. We found that test-takers saw the risk as lower, were more exposed to infection and took fewer precautions.

We just had a #RegisteredReport get an "in principle acceptance" from @peercommunityin! https://osf.io/p5sjb

This is my first first-authored RR, along with brilliant colleagues Eilin Erevik & Sebastian Bjørkheim. We are going to test whether #big5personality measures taken before the pandemic predict COVID-19 #RiskPerception and #HealthBehaviour during the pandemic.

I'm enthusiastic about the RR format, and I look forward to running the analysis and completing the report!

Nina Vaupotič explored the psychological drivers behind people's #riskperception of various environmental #pollutants across 5 European countries at #IAPS2024Conference. From #microplastics to #underwaternoise, the data reveals high public concern, highlighting the need for zero pollution frameworks like #SourceToSeas.

Concerned about eating microplastics? @leoniefian presented her newest study at at #IAPS2024 on the public’s perceptions of #microplastics in the food chain, which individual factors predict #riskperception and #policysupport in that context, and what it has to do with #climatechange.

About a year into the pandemic we asked people standing in line for COVID-19 testing about how they had thought about risk and precautions before they sought testing. Compared to a representative sample, the test-station sample had seen the risk as lower, had more frequently been in potentially infectious situations, and they had complied less with infection control measures.

A new study shows that people don't overestimate the frequency of dramatic #causesofdeath because of greater #media coverage. Deaths in the personal environment are more important for the #riskperception: http://go.tum.de/660755

Hello there, I'm Nina! I joined @envpsyvienna and #cogsciunivie as a postdoc more than a year ago, so it's definitely time for me to introduce myself.

I'm interested in #riskperception, #sciencecommunication, environmental policy support and pro-environmental behavior, which I'm investigating in the scope of: #SourceToSeas and #ProjectGOLIAT. I also enjoy discovering  cities,  recipes, hiking routes, podcasts and indie movies.

Another paper where for most of us the main value may lie in the getting established bit.

The authors lead to a conclusion:

"Ultimately, infrastructure managers must make a decision between a locked in and faltering but familiar system or a changing and responsive but unfamiliar system, where both are, inevitably, accepting higher levels of risk than typically accustomed."

And it's a lot about #RiskPerception.

And here's @leoniefian at the #ICEP2023 poster session! She's presenting preliminary findings from her survey study on #RiskPerception of #Microplastics in food and beverages, testing a framework from the climate change literature

Obligatory #introduction post: I’m an academic Tweep seeking asylum on Mastodon. I research public #trust in basically any #governance context I can collect data on. Posts typically cover #vulnerability #police #courts #politicalpsych #highered #riskperception #publichealth #environmentalhealth #DEIJ #academia.

Time for an #introduction!

Hi, I'm Bjørn! I grew up on an island in #Norway and later moved to #Bergen. I trained as a #clinicalpsychologist (since lapsed) and took a doctorate in #neuroscience (also lapsed).

I'm a professor in general #psychology at the #UniversityOfBergen. I have quite wide research interests within #cognitivepsycholgy, centered around applied #decisionmaking.

I teach #theory, #humanfactors and #openscience. I supervise PhDs in #riskperception, #HCI and #policepsychology.

So, after a week on Mastodon I still need to do my #introduction

I am a professor of #EnvironmentalPsychology at the #CardiffUniversity, and an associate director of the @CAST_centre.

I am doing research on #RiskPerception (particularly #ClimatePerceptions and public engagement with #ClimateChange), sustainable behaviours and lifestyles/ #BehaviourChange, and environmental determinants of health and wellbeing.

I also dabble in #Rstats

Nice to meet you all! #introductions
