	Cultural Cognition
		Paul Slovic and I have written a short response to Sunstein.
		In one piece, Paul Slovic, Don Braman, John Gastil and I defend the cultural cognition thesis, which asserts that individuals' cultural worldviews shape their perceptions of various societal risks.
		Cultural Cognition Project member Paul Slovic addresses the psychological origins of the American public's lack of attention to genocide in Darfur in an interview on the Brian Lehrer show.

	Committee on Conscience \| Analysis \| Transcript
		PAUL SLOVIC: The interaction is complex and we are still trying to figure out what the nature of this dance of affect and reason is because sometimes when you think hard and deliberate about something, that actually creates feeling or affect.
		PAUL SLOVIC: When we showed just the picture of the child, the child’s name, and the information that they were suffering from malnutrition, and gave people the opportunity to donate money that would go to this child, we got a fairly strong response.
		PAUL SLOVIC: Certainly in some sense it is, it is also the strong response to the victims of hurricane Katrina, could be another example.

	Stylus - The Perception of Risk
		Each chapter of The Perception of Risk is a small sample of their research and a comprehensive introduction to risk perception, from early studies identifying gaps between public and expert perceptions to current work that considers the effects of social, political, and cultural factors....A common bibliography and index increase the usefulness of this collection.
		Insisting that 'risk' is not simply a matter of numbers, Slovic argues that a good system of risk regulation should be democratic as well as technocratic--and that it should pay a great deal of attention to what he sees as the structured and sometimes subtle thinking of ordinary people.
		[Slovic's] work carries considerable importance for those concerned with law and policy, partly because an understanding of human cognition (not excluding emotion) helps to explain people's reactions to risk and their demands for legal responses.

	Perception of Risk, The Start Discussion - Product Reviews - Earthscan
		The Perception of Risk brings together the work of Paul Slovic, one of the world’s leading analysts of risk, risk perception and risk management, to examine the gap between expert views of risk and public perceptions.
		Slovic offers a number of intriguing findings of special importance to law and policy[....In some of [the] most striking chapters Slovic claims that ordinary people display a rival rationality that is worthy of consideration and respect.
		Paul Slovic, Baruch Fischhoff, Sarah Lichtenstein, Barnard Corrigan and Barbara Combs

	[No title]
		As Paul Slovic pointed out, this is a complicated area in determining acceptable levels of risk.
		And I think Dr. Slovic's talk sort of showed that picture where you had risk assessment in the middle and all these issues are on the outside.
		SLOVIC: What I want to just briefly touch upon, some considerations that are in the same vein as my talk this morning with regard to some of the social and psychological factors involved lurking behind these questions.

		In his classes, Slovic, who is president of the firm Decision Research in Eugene, as well as a psychology professor, has expanded the umping metaphor first suggested by late Stanford psychologist Amos Tversky.
		Says Slovic: "Defining risk is thus an exercise in power." Since studies repeatedly show that definitions of risk depend on people's racial group or their gender, this conclusion intensifies the stakes in assessing risk.
		Paul Slovic is quoted as saying, "Defining risk is thus an exercise in power." Years ago, I looked at Paul Slovic's early work as the first hope for rational policy making in matters of risk.

		Slovic [1972] examined the implications of research on human judgment and decision-making for investment decisions.
		The study reported here was undertaken as a step toward developing a deeper understanding of how financial judgment is related to other properties or characteristics of investments or asset classes, particularly perceptions of their risks, returns and return/risk relationships.

	How do we stop genocide when we begin to lose interest after the first victim?
		Slovic is studying the issue from a psychological perspective, trying to determine how people can utilize both the moral intuition that genocide is wrong and moral reasoning to reach not only an outcry but also demand intervention.
		In Slovic's latest research, evidence is mounting for an even more disturbing 'collapse model' that he described in his talk.
		Slovic and colleagues Daniel Vastfjäll and Ellen Peters used the same approach but narrowed the focus.

	Wine Sales Information - The Perception of Risk (Risk, Society and Policy Series) (Paul Slovic) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		As one of the leading scientists in the field of risk perception, Paul has covered large areas and tackled various problems in order to show how we view, react to, and handle situations and problems related to what we in common language call risk.
		To call him one of the founders of the psychometric paradigm is too plain a characterization of the scientific contribution of Paul Slovic.
		In the same way as many of Paul's earlier ideas have been accepted and continued by later researchers, his recent views about "the affect heuristic" most certainly will be the subject for many future scientific publications.

	Risk and Public Discourse
		Slovic is saying that Risk is the socially constructed sum of hazard and public perceptions.
		Slovic raises concerns about how disparities between "real" and "perceived" risk might engender public discourse that, itself, is a risk to the social fabric of society.
		Slovic states that the young science of risk assessment cannot prevail against the level and intensity of assaults against it.

	From toilet to tap
		Yet Rozin notes there are ways to help people overcome the "yuck"--something he and other psychologists like the University of Oregon's Paul Slovic, PhD, a specialist in risk perception, have begun doing by consulting with Haddad and public water officials from such regions as California's Orange County and Elsinore Valley.
		Slovic has also shared his insights with wastewater recycling engineers, in part by speaking at a January conference on "Human reactions to water reuse" held in El Segundo, Calif. He suggests that people promoting reclaimed water emphasize its benefits.
		This tactic may seem obvious, but it operates through the human tendency to minimize risk when dealing with something considered to be positive, rather than to conduct a rational cost-benefit analysis, he says.

	Sum of Our Fears (washingtonpost.com)
		Paul Slovic, a professor at the University of Oregon, did a striking experiment in which he asked experts and laymen to rank a list of 30 dangers.
		Further research has led Slovic to conclude that this subjectivity is inherent.
		Slovic found that we even change our evaluation of a risk depending on the language used to describe it: Illogically, we perceive "20 out of 100" as a greater risk than "one out of five" or "a 20 percent chance."

		John omits a genealogy, and Paul denounces the building of such genealogies (1 Timothy 1:3-4, cited in the main text above, and Titus 3:9).

		Slovic, the author, also works at Decision Research, an organization in Oregon that advises industry and government about risk.
		As with terrorism, vast sums of money are spent, as Slovic puts it, "to take small risks of chemical and radioactive pollution and reduce them even further.

	Smoking: Risk, Perception and Policy by Paul Slovic [ISBN: 0761923802] - Find Cheap Textbook Prices & Save BIG (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Paul Slovic writes a compelling foreword to this persuasive and evocative book describing the health risks to smokers and their own perceptions of them.
		In it, he rebutts economist Viscusi's thesis that smokers make the rational choice to light up, having weighed the risks and benefits already adequately communicated to them by public health agencies.
		Slovic, unlike Viscusi, does NOT hold the opinion that the money spent communicating the risk of smoking to the public could be better spent elsewhere, and the studies described in Smoking: Risk, Perception, and Policy--undertaken by distinguished scholars like Daniel Romer and Patrick Jamieson--substantiate his position.

	``If I look at the mass I will never act'':\ Psychic numbing and genocide
		Fetherstonhaugh, Slovic, Johnson, and Friedrich (1997) documented this potential for diminished sensitivity to the value of life - i.e., "psychophysical numbing" - by evaluating people's willingness to fund various lifesaving medical treatments.
		Journalist Paul Neville writes about the need to probe beneath the statistics of joblessness, homelessness, mental illness, and poverty in his home state of Oregon, in order to discover the people behind the numbers - who they are, what they look like, how they sound, what they feel, what hopes and fears they harbor.
		Västfjäll, Peters, and Slovic (in preparation) decided to test whether the effect found by Kogut and Ritov would occur as well for donations to two starving children.

	For adolescents, antismoking ads are flickering flame against smoking's allure
		Because antismoking advertising focuses on smoking risks without influencing the favorable images that motivate young people to begin the habit, much of that advertising has had little impact on preventing the initiation of smoking, the researchers note.
		Young people, and even adults, don't consider the consequences of smoking and almost invariably come to regret it, says Paul Slovic, president of Decision Research in Eugene, Ore., and professor of psychology at the University of Oregon.
