Abstract

This study was to develope a structural model for risk perception and individual response against terrorism, including several psychological factors - cognitive, social and emotional factors. In this model we measured perceived probability of terrorism, perceived seriousness of the aftermath, and perceived coping(cognitive factors), trust in authorities, in expert group and in preparedness of institutions(social factors), fear and worry(emotional factors), individual preparedness, information seeking, information analysis, and checking relational network(individual behavior responses). Major finding was that cognitive and social factors influenced on emotional factors and then emotional factors influenced on the individual responses. The perceived coping, which one of cognitive factors was linked with individual responses directly and indirectly via emotion factors. We discussed the importance of perceived coping in preparing for terrorism.

테러 위험에 대한 일반인의 행동반응에 영향을 주는 심리요인들을 밝히기 위하여 인지, 사회, 정서요인들을 포함하는 구조모형을 개발하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 모형에는 테러가 발생할 가능성, 테러 여파가 주는 심각성, 그리고 테러의 여파에 대해 개인이 대처할 수 있다는 지각(인지요인)과, 테러에 대응하는 정부기관에 대한 신뢰(사회요인), 그리고 테러에 대한 두려움과 걱정(정서요인), 개인적으로 준비하거나 정보를 검색 또는 분석하고 관계망을 점검하는 행동(행동반응)에 대한 측정이 포함되었다. 주된 결과는 인지와 사회요인이 정서요인에 영향을 주며 정서요인은 행동반응에 영향을 준다는 것이다. 특히 인지요인 중 지각된 대처는 행동반응에 직·간접 영향을 주는 요인으로서, 테러에 대한 개인적 대비를 향상시키기 위해서는 지각된 대처가 중요하다는 것을 논의하였다.
