Framing effects on risk perception of nanotechnology
How do people judge nanotechnology risks that are completely unfamiliar to them? Drawing on results of previous studies on framing and risk perception, two hypotheses about potential influences on nanotechnology risk perception were examined in an experimental study: 1) Risk perception of nanotechnology is influenced by its benefit perception. 2) Risk perception of nanotechnology is influenced ...
متن کاملPerception of Risks and Nanotechnology
There is no scientific evidence to support the notion that nanoparticles and nanotubes – basic components of nanotechnology-based products – pose risks to human health and the environment. Yet, there already have been considerable discussions in the mass media and the U.S. Senate about the potential hazards of nanoparticles and nanotubes, on how they possibly interact with living organisms and ...
متن کاملRisk characterization for nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology is a broad term that encompasses materials, structures, or processes that utilize engineered nanomaterials, which can be defined as materials intentionally designed to have one or more dimensions between 1 and 100 nm. Historically, risk characterization has been viewed as the final phase of a risk assessment process that integrates hazard identification, dose-response assessment,...
متن کاملMelanoma risk perception and prevention behavior among African-Americans: the minority melanoma paradox
INTRODUCTION Melanoma is the most deadly type of skin cancer with 75% of all skin cancer deaths within the US attributed to it. Risk factors for melanoma include ultraviolet exposure, genetic predisposition, and phenotypic characteristics (eg, fair skin and blond hair). Whites have a 27-fold higher incidence of melanoma than African-Americans (AA), but the 5-year survival is 17.8% lower for AA ...
