We examined the determinants of protective behavior against health, safety, and environmental risks. Subjects answered questions about the extent to which they engaged in each of several protective behaviors (PBs), the badness of the event that each behavior protects against, its probability, the effectiveness of the behavior, and its difficulty. We also assessed worry about the risk and effect...

Subjects answered questions about how much they engaged in each of several PBs (DoIt), the badness and probability of the event that each PB prevents, and the effectiveness and difficulty of the PB. We compared the expected utility for each PB from these judgments with the ratings of DoIt. Some of the ...
