Risk perceptions of Hong Kongese vs. Americans.

Hong Kong students rated the risk of 30 hazards and quantified a subset on six risk characteristics; data are compared to a prior study of American students. Hong Kongese rated 10 hazards substantially higher and five hazards substantially lower than Americans, and factor structures indicated differences on five hazards. Possible explanations for these differences are discussed.
