Using Repertory Grids to Measure Changes in Risk-taking Behavior

چکیده
This paper develops an experimental approach to understanding how construction workers modify their risk taking behavior when safety schemes are implemented. The study takes a qualitative approach using (1) repertory grid techniques to map attitudinal change and (2) navigable movies to reproduce the experience of surrogate travel. Hazard categories emerged from the data to produce a framework with which to explain underlying compensatory phenomena. Results show that construction workers do modify their risk taking behavior after safety systems are implemented. However, this does not necessarily result in a safer approach to work hazards.

متن کاملKnowledge Acquisition via Tracked Repertory Grids
One of the more valuable and flexible forms of knowledge acquisition is based upon the use of repertory grids. A useful extension of repertory grids can be created by providing a method of semantically linking associated constructs and repertory grids. This network of grids is a semantic network with nodes consisting of individual repertory grids and links acting as ‘tracks.’ A track is a gener...

متن کاملRisk Homeostasis as a Factor of Information Security
Risk homeostasis (RH) is a risk management theory espoused by Wilde (1994 & 2001) that claims that individuals adjust their risk-taking behaviour towards their target level of perceived risk. This paper claims that this phenomenon exists within the domain of information security. A future research approach is suggested that will confirm the existence of RH and also measure the extent of its imp...
