Question:

Wat zijn de conclusies uit dit artikel?

Author: Katja vd Plas



Answer:

- surprise: vividness does not appear to have an effect on subjects willingness to support risk-reducing actions - When victims are identified it is clear exactly how many people will die, but when victims are statistical it is always possible that more or fewer will die - It appears that once we know an individual is definitely at risk, there is no difference in the importance of taking action after the risk is realized or before the risk has occurred - if we assign a higher value to saving any identified victim than to saving a statistical victim, then perhaps we need to rethink how we value statistical victims, since at some point all victims are identified.
