Risk perception is sometimes measured by means of judgments about worry, sometimes as perceived risk more directly. However, perceived level of risk calls for a more intellectual judgment and worry tends to refer to emotional reactions. These two are therefore not the same and need not be strongly correlated. Results reported here show that perceived risk and worry are indeed weakly correlated, both for generalized worry and for more specific measures of worry matched with the same hazard as risk ratings. A distinction is suggested between cognitive, abstract hazards and concrete, sensory hazards, with implications for the worry-perceived risk relationship. It was furthermore found by means of cluster analysis that there were groups of subject displaying different dynamics of risk and worry.
风险认知有时通过对担忧的判断来衡量，有时则更直接地作为感知到的风险来衡量。然而，感知到的风险水平需要更理性的判断，而担忧往往指的是情绪反应。因此，这两者并不相同，也不一定有很强的相关性。此处报告的结果表明，无论是对于广泛性担忧，还是对于与风险评级中相同危害相匹配的更具体的担忧衡量指标，感知到的风险与担忧确实呈弱相关。有人提出应区分认知性、抽象性危害和具体的、感官性危害，这对担忧与感知风险的关系有影响。此外，通过聚类分析发现，存在几组受试者表现出不同的风险和担忧动态。
