Présentation des quatre grandes stratégies actuelles pour la compréhension du jugement : les modèles faisant référence à des valeurs numériques ; les modèles heuristiques ; la théorie du jugement social ; la théorie fonctionnelle de la cognition. Un souci permanent de mettre en relation systèmes théoriques et domaines d'application pour montrer l'applicabilité, les limites et les risques d'erreurs. Une approche centrée sur diverses démarches de traitement de l'information et non sur des modèles mathématiques. Un appareil pédagogique spécialement conçu pour l'étudiant : Dans chaque chapitre : des objectifs, un résumé introductif, un résumé conclusif, une liste de mots clés, des questions pour mieux retenir, des questions pour mieux réfléchir Une sélection bibliographique. En fin d'ouvrage : un glossaire, une bibliographie générale, une webographie, un index des notions

Belief in warning, primary and secondary appraisal, emotional response, and adherence to normal routine were assessed by conducting face-to-face interviews in which a four-phase scenario simulating a credible industrial accident was presented. The results showed that respondents who did not reside in the neighborhood of the hazardous site were, in general, more inclined to trust the warning messages than respondents who resided in the neighborhood were. With the exception of primary appraisal, the warning phases evoked very distinct reactions in the respondents from all three countries with regard to warning belief, secondary appraisal, emotional response, and adherence to normal routine.

This study explores the degree to which three informational context variables (nature of information, presentational conditions, and context structure), allocated according to a factorial design, affect risk assessment. The risk situation is represented by alarm over a potentially toxic cloud stagnating above a town, and is rated from 1 (negligible) to 10 (lethal) by subjects randomly assigned to one of the eight experimental modalities. Ratings are then processed by analysis of variance. Significant effect is found for the first variable (concrete information gives rise to significantly higher ratings than abstract information) and the second variable (sequential presentation leads to higher ratings), but the third variable would appear to have less functional impact. These results are discussed in the general framework of behavioural theories of decision-making, stressing the relevance of certain concepts and cognitive processes involved in risk assessment.

The application of these energy-sources and the risks and benefits are judged differently by various group in society. In Europe, France has the highest density of nuclear power plants and the Netherlands has one of the lowest. In both countries scientists and social scientists completed a questionnaire assessing the perception of the large scale application of both energy sources. Furthermore, a number of variables relating to the socio cultural and political circumstances were measured. The results indicate that the French had a higher risk perception and a more negative attitude toward nuclear power than the Dutch. But they also assess the benefits of the use of nuclear power to be higher. Explanations for these differences are discussed.
