Exploratory Structural Algorithm of Perceived Risk Factors

Abstract

The objective of this work was to explore the dimensions of risk perception, considering the sociological categories of territorial, national, public, citizen, private and Internet security. A cross-sectional and psychometric study was carried out with a non-probabilistic selection of 100 students at a public university who participated in civil protection campaigns. An exploratory factorial structure of seven factors was established with their respective indicators which explained 79% of the total variance, although the research design limited these findings to the research scenario, suggesting the extension of the work towards the relationships between the perceptual structure. e risk with respect to a decision structure and risk behaviors
