Abstracts

RU

В статье обсуждается проблема влияния эмоционального состояния на количественный профиль риска. Риск как понятие усиливает два эквивалентных измерения. Первое измерение связано с экспертной оценкой рисков. Второй связан с общественным восприятием риска и называется возмущением. Возмущение можно понимать как эмоциональное состояние по отношению к риску. Описаны пять различных степеней опасных ситуаций и проанализировано эмоциональное отношение населения к ним с помощью структурированного интервью. Для описания усиления риска эмоциональным состоянием рассчитывается корреляция между эмоциональным настроем и готовностью к действию. Затем строится профиль риска.

In the article the problem how an emotional state influences quantitative risk profile is discussed. Risk as a concept enhances two equivalent dimensions. The first dimension relates to experts’ risk assessment. The second one is related to public risk perception, named outrage. One can understand outrage as the emotional state concerning risk. Five different degrees of hazardous situations are described and public emotional attitude towards them is analyzed by structured interview. A correlation between the emotional attitude and readiness to act is calculated to describe amplification of risk by the emotional state. Then a risk profile is constructed.
