That's an interesting presupposition, entirely unconfirmed by data.
- doliveira 7y agoI don't know enough about psychology to Google the exact term, but let's not be so pedantic as to pretend it is not at least a plausible assumption.
- nostrebored 7y agoNo, this is a stance that's completely unsubstantiated, with the obvious tie in to COVID-19 that's also unsubstantiated.
- doliveira 7y agoCan you point to a study about this? In Bayesian terms most people would put the prior probability in favor of his common sense hypothesis. And you just have to Google for "psychology of risk perception" to get a few more studies in favor of it.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoIt's true almost by definition. Actions sufficient to mitigate a low-probability, high-impact event will seem like complete overreaction for people who can't do this calculation - which is most of them. After all, lots of effort and sacrifice happened, and there was no damage!
