Abstract

Environmental risks are becoming increasingly frequent and severe across the world, especially in China. An in-depth understanding of how public perceives risk is of crucial importance to effective environmental risk communication and management. Risk preference and emotion are two critical factors in environmental risk perception. This paper summarizes existing researches in risk preference and emotion, and reflects upon their roles in environmental risk perception. Based upon existing literatures, it argues that delay affects environmental risk perception more than time preference and proposes a research on disentangling time preference and risk preference, i.e. risk preference at different time periods. Under the guidance of Appraisal Theory, this paper explores the roles of emotion in environmental risk perception and attempts to combine it into the future examining of delay effect on risk preference.
