Global risk narrative and cultural influence on risk perceptions
Thursday, Dec 03, UTC 03:00 to 04:55
Organizer: Lloyd’s Register Foundation Institute for the Public Understanding of Risk, National University of Singapore
| How does individual-level risk perception differ from that of society? What role does culture play in shaping our risk attitude? Answering these questions will enable policymaker and industry leaders to tailor risk communication strategies to achieve better public communication and policy outcome. This session presents computational linguistics analytics results of societal risk narratives from 20 countries and how they differ from individuals’ risk perception reflected in the Lloyd’s Register Foundation World Risk Poll. Moreover, novel insights from the largest cross-cultural study that examined the effect of culture on the extent to which people experience and perceive risk across 86 countries will be shared during the session. Lloyd’s Register’s Foundation World Risk Poll is a global survey that covers a representative sample of 98% of the world’s adult population on the most pressing risks faced and feared by individuals in their daily lives. |
