psychometric paradigm  

Définition

  • The psychometric paradigm refers to a research approach used in explaining how laypeople (nonexperts) perceive various hazards. Results of these studies suggest that laypeople use qualitative information, such as perceptions of dreadfulness and newness, and not simply statistical information, such as probability, in their intuitive risk assessments.
