遺伝子組み換え作物、幹細胞治療、失恋、インフレ、盗難…私たちの暮らしはいつもリスクと隣り合わせにあると言っても過言ではありません。本書では、このようなリスクに、私たちがどのように対応すべきかを科学的に検証し、意思決定理論から何を学びとることができるのか、日々のリスクをどのように評価すればよいのかを明らかにしていきます。
  

  • Includes everyday examples of risk, relating them back to the science involved in predicting risk and making decisions
  • Helps the reader to understand risk to enable better risk decisions in their own public and private lives by using a variety of everyday examples
  • Explores the concept of decision theory and behavioural decision research

  
We find risks everywhere—from genetically modified crops, medical malpractice, and stem-cell therapy to intimacy, online predators, identity theft, inflation, and robbery. They arise from our own acts and they are imposed on us. In this Very Short Introduction, Baruch Fischhoff and John Kadvany draw on the sciences and humanities to explore and explain the many kinds of risk. Using simple conceptual frameworks from decision theory and behavioural research, they examine the science and practice of creating measures of risk, showing how scientists address risks by combining historical records, scientific theories, probability, and expert judgment.Risk: A Very Short Introduction describes what has been learned by cognitive scientists about how people deal with risks, applying these lessons to diverse examples, and demonstrating how understanding risk can aid choices in everyday life and public policies for health, safety, environment, finance, and many other topics.
