However, little research has explored why workers generate biased risk perceptions, namely underestimating or overestimating the risks of unsafe actions.

As a typical heuristic strategy, the anchoring effect is critical in decision-making under uncertain conditions.

Specifically, experimenter-provided high-risk anchors led workers to overestimate unsafe behavior risks, thus reducing their tendency to engage in such behavior.

Additionally, workers' safety knowledge and need for cognition significantly affected anchoring effects.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>This research enhances workplace safety studies by applying the anchoring effect from psychology to risk perception research.
