AB - Using a psychometric paradigm, this study examines the trend of the lay people’s social risk perception. The purpose of this study is to explore potential implications for risk policy through a comparison of 2006 and 2011 sample. The results show that the samples have a two-factor structure and the higher order factors-“unknown risk” and “dread risk”-structure the risk perceptions of the 40 risks. In a two-factor dimension, the 40 risks can be categorized as four types. The trend analyses indicate the changes of the types on the 2006 and 2011 samples. Nuclear reactor accident, nuclear power plant, radiation processed food have been viewed as relatively known. Magnetic field, asbestos and genetically modified food have been viewed as relatively dread. Vaccinations and prescription drugs have been evaluated as relatively unknown. Radioactive waste disposal and mercury have been evaluated as relatively well unknown. Based on the results, the potential implications for effective risk analysis are also discussed.
