Abstract

Abstract Public risk perception varies by sub-groups but is key in a robust risk management. This study uses the Grid Group Cultural Theory (GGCT) to test how cultures, compared to subjective knowledge level and demographic factors, influence three measures of public risk perception—perceived risk to individuals themselves, the place they live, and China. This study uses an original survey conducted from February 17 to March 14, 2020 during the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19). This research found that age and household income correlate positively with perceived risk to individuals themselves, and education and household income correlate positively with perceived risk to the place they live, whereas egalitarian and hierarchical cultural indices correlate positively with the perceived risk to China. Further tests of interactive effect of culture and individual characteristics on risk perceptions found that the effect of hierarchy on risk perceptions depends on household income.

个人特点还是文化?冠状病毒大流行中的公众风险认知
公众的风险认知因人群而异,但它是稳健风险管理的关键。本研究使用网格群体文化理论(GGCT)来测试文化,与主观知识水平和人口因素相比,如何影响公共风险感知的三个指标——对个人自身、居住地和中国的感知风险。本研究使用了2020年2月17日至3月14日在冠状病毒(COVID-19)爆发期间进行的原始调查。研究发现,年龄和家庭收入与个人自身感知风险呈正相关,教育程度和家庭收入与居住地感知风险呈正相关,而平等主义和等级文化指数与中国感知风险呈正相关。进一步的文化和个体特征对风险感知交互效应的测试发现,等级对风险感知的影响取决于家庭收入。
