Modeling Risk perception Across ten Domains

Finding the drivers of health risk and other real-life risk perceptions

Human behavioral risk-seeking tendencies differ across areas of life: health risks of medical procedures are perceived differently from economic risks of stock investments and again from social risks when initiating a divorce. How can such behavioral differences be reliably produced by the cognitive system? We answered this question using a large sample of text sources and machine-learning and statistical analyses.
