Risk perception of natural hazards has been widely studied as one of the potential determinants of people's behaviors and behavioral intentions. However, individual differences can also affect risk perception. The present work focused on the link between an individual cognitive mindset (i.e., level of holism) and flood‐risk perception. It also assessed the consequences of such a link on public and personal mitigation intentions, taking into account the sense of connection with the environment, the psychological distance from the adverse event, and the role played by previous personal experience with flooding. Our study (N = 191) showed that the individual cognitive style predicted risk perceptions and personal (for both experienced and no‐experience groups) and public (only for experienced group) mitigation intentions, through the mediation of the sense of connection with the environment and the psychological distance from the adverse event. Results are discussed in terms of their practical implications for public communication and policies about environmental hazards.

个体的认知方式会影响洪水风险的感知和缓解意图

人们对自然灾害的风险感知已被广泛研究，作为人们行为和行为意图的潜在决定因素之一。但是，个体差异也会影响风险感知。目前的工作着重于个人认知思维方式（即整体水平）与洪灾风险感知之间的联系。它还考虑到与环境的联系，与不利事件的心理距离以及以前的个人洪水经验所起的作用，评估了这种联系对公共和个人缓解意图的影响。我们的研究（ñ = 191）表明，个体的认知方式通过介导与环境的联系感和心理距离来预测风险感知，以及个人（针对有经验和无经验的群体）和公众（仅针对有经验的群体）的缓解意图。从不利事件。根据结果​​对公共宣传和环境危害政策的实际意义进行了讨论。
