Communicating risks more comprehensively using simulated experience
Abstract
Traditional risk communication emphasizes the probability of possible outcomes but neglects other crucial dimensions of risks. We propose a taxonomy of risk information and illustrate how simulated experience can convey overlooked aspects. We conclude with a research agenda to advance the theory and practice of risk communication across domains.
