Main Results:

  • The psychometric paradigm revealed that public risk perception is multifaceted.
  • Publics consider factors beyond probability, including dread, controllability, and future impact.
  • This broadens the understanding of how risks are evaluated by society.

Conclusions:

  • Sarah Lichtenstein was a "powerhouse" in decision-making research.
  • Her work, particularly the psychometric paradigm, reshaped risk perception studies.
  • Incorporating public values into risk management is crucial for effective decision-making.
