摘要

本研究探讨了公众对环境危害的风险态度,重点关注空气、水和土壤污染或有毒物质泄漏等威胁。我们强调风险的社会层面,并分析强大的社会关系网络如何影响社区成员对污染类型危害的健康风险的敏感性。我们开发了一个模型,利用社会资本等方面将社会维度与一系列个人层面的因素(如人们对环境问题的认识、对威胁的了解和对健康问题的体验)整合在一起。我们用美国全国调查数据(N=1207)测试了我们的模型,重点关注健康危害,并整合了基于位置的社会资本措施。我们的研究结果强调了强大的社会网络的有害(尽管相对较小)影响,因为高社会资本社区的居民淡化了危害的健康威胁,并报告了较低的风险态度。我们还发现,对威胁的认识和了解所导致的个人层面因素也发挥着重要作用。我们的研究结果通过展示强大的社会关系对社区成员对污染类型危害的健康风险敏感性的潜在有害影响,为风险态度提供了独特的视角。此外,我们还提供了在面对不太常见的环境危害时形成风险认知的因素的证据。

The dark side of close-ties communities: How strong social connections shape health-related risk perceptions.

This study explores public risk attitudes of environmental hazards with a focus on threats such as air, water and soil pollution or toxicants spillage. We emphasize the social dimension of risk and analyze how strong networks of social connections affect community members' sensitivity to the health risks from pollution-type hazards. We develop a model that integrates the social dimension using aspects like social capital with a set of individual-level factors like people's awareness of environmental issues, knowledge of threats, and experience of health problems. We test our models with US national survey data (N=1207) focusing on health hazards and integrate location-based measures of social capital. Our findings highlight the detrimental (albeit relatively small) effect of strong social networks as residents of communities with high social capital downplay the health threats from hazards and report decreased risk attitudes. We also find important role for individual-level factors led by awareness and knowledge of the threats. Our findings offer unique perspective on risk attitudes by demonstrating the potential harmful effects of strong social ties on community members' sensitivity to health risks from pollution-type hazards. In addition, we offer evidence on factors that shape risk perceptions in the face of less common environmental hazards.

期刊介绍: Environmental Hazards: Human and Policy Dimensions is an innovative, interdisciplinary and international research journal addressing the human and policy dimensions of hazards. The journal addresses the full range of hazardous events from extreme geological, hydrological, atmospheric and biological events, such as earthquakes, floods, storms and epidemics, to technological failures and malfunctions, such as industrial explosions, fires and toxic material releases. Environmental Hazards: Human and Policy Dimensions is the source of the new ideas in hazards and risk research.
