Risk perception is the subjective judgment that people make about the characteristics and severity of a
risk. The phrase is most commonly used in reference to
natural hazards and threats to
the environment or
health, such as
nuclear power. Several theories have been proposed to explain why different people make different estimates of the dangerousness of risks. Two major families of theory have been developed by social scientists: the Psychometric Paradigm and Cultural Theory.
