Global change calls for more active approaches to forest risk management. To avoid unforeseen backlashes, it is necessary to examine the general public’s acceptance of the risk management strategies. By drawing on different theoretical approaches (threat and prevention, performance evaluations, and forest cognitions), the present study examines predictors of acceptability in the general public in three counties in Sweden (N = 1,026). As expected, appraisals of threat mediated the effect of threat awareness on belief in risk prevention, and when examining performance evaluations, trust in responsible actors influenced acceptability via procedural satisfaction. However, the threat and prevention approach and the performance evaluation approach only explained low levels of the variance in acceptability of the examined strategies. Nevertheless, stronger ecological forest values, and favoring broadleaved forests, were found to be important to the acceptability of proactively implementing a more diverse forest to meet the expected challenges associated with global climate change.

瑞典森林风险管理战略的普遍公众接受度

全球变化要求采取更积极的森林风险管理方法。为避免不可预见的反弹，有必要检查公众对风险管理策略的接受程度。通过利用不同的理论方法（威胁和预防、绩效评估和森林认知），本研究检查了瑞典三个县（N = 1,026）公众可接受性的预测因素。正如预期的那样，威胁评估介导了威胁意识对风险预防信念的影响，并且在检查绩效评估时，对负责任行为者的信任通过程序满意度影响了可接受性。然而，威胁和预防方法以及绩效评估方法仅解释了所审查策略可接受性的低水平差异。尽管如此，
