Abstract

This meta-analysis synthesizes research findings from 50 studies to assess the explanatory power of the reduced risk information seeking model (RISK). The results show that informational subjective norms have the largest effect size, followed by sufficiency threshold and current knowledge. This finding suggests that risk information seeking behavior is largely determined by social motivations. In addition, the relationships between current knowledge and seeking, as well as between sufficiency threshold and seeking, are stronger when a risk is viewed as personally relevant. Moreover, the relationship between current knowledge and seeking is stronger in studies where participants report higher risk perception.

降低风险资讯搜寻模型(Risk):一项元分析

这项荟萃分析综合了50项研究的研究结果，以评估降低风险信息寻求模型（risk）的解释力。结果表明，信息主观规范的影响大小最大，其次是充分性阈值和当前知识。这一发现表明，风险信息寻求行为在很大程度上是由社会动机决定的。此外，当风险被视为与个人相关时，当前知识和寻求之间的关系，以及充足阈值和寻求之间之间的关系更强。此外，在参与者报告风险感知较高的研究中，当前知识和寻求之间的关系更强。
