内容説明
In his opening chapter, the editor discusses the variety of perspectives that are taken into account when studying the perception and management of risk, thereby indicating the multidisciplinary perspective that needs to be embraced if risks are to be effectively managed. Many psychologists are uncomfortable in such a sea of viewpoints, and this is probably one reason why there have been so few of them to tackle these important topics. The dearth of research enhances the studies that have been published in the "Journal of Environmental Psychology". Assembling this research in one volume provides direct and convenient access to the original studies that are establishing the basis for a growing area of significant research. The areas of psychological study that open up by the consideration of papers in the present volume are also central to many questions asked in the heartland of academic psychology: the most appropriate ways to categorize cognition, the impact of context on perception, ways of summarizing and resolving differing conceptual systems.
This present volume should therefore be of value to cognitive and social psychologists who wish to inject major real world issues into what might otherwise be arid debates.
