Risk Psychology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that considers dialogue in society through how people perceive risk.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding the human mind that coexists with risk and supporting better social dialogue.
The Risk Psychology Lab studies the psychological mechanisms by which people perceive risk.
Around us are risks from the natural environment, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, as well as risks involving humans, such as traffic accidents and crime.
In global social issues such as climate change, the lab explores forms of communication that allow people with different values and positions to talk and cooperate better.
Through such proposals, the lab aims to help overcome social divisions and solve problems.
