This study examined the influence of gender on individual risk perception. The analysis covered 17 involuntary risks and examined the effects of gender on three dimensions - likelihood, impact and overall risk rating. The results showed that while the magnitude and significance of the gender coefficients varied by risk, a general pattern was apparent: females judged involuntary risks as being more likely, having a greater impact, or having a higher overall risk rating than their male counterparts. The impact rating for Fire was the one significant exception to this pattern. These findings highlight how the composition of National Risk Assessment (NRA) focus groups may impact the outputs from Ireland's NRA process and the importance of EU Member States ensuring gender representation within NRA focus groups.

性别对风险认知的影响:对欧盟成员国国家风险评估过程的影响
本研究考察了性别对个人风险感知的影响。该分析涵盖了 17 项非自愿风险,并检查了性别对三个维度的影响——可能性、影响和总体风险评级。结果表明,虽然性别系数的大小和显着性因风险而异,但总体模式很明显:与男性相比,女性认为非自愿风险更有可能、影响更大或总体风险评级更高。Fire 的影响等级是这种模式的一个重要例外。这些调查结果强调了国家风险评估 (NRA) 焦点小组的组成可能如何影响爱尔兰 NRA 过程的输出,以及欧盟成员国确保 NRA 焦点小组内性别代表性的重要性。
