风险-收益感知对核电公众接受度的影响机制分析——基于广州大学城的调研

此项研究探讨了风险感知与收益感知互动作用对核能接受度的影响机制。研究发现,不同程度的风险-收益感知对核电接受度的影响程度不同。其中,低风险-高收益感知的公众对核能的接受度最高,其次是高风险-高收益感知和低风险-低收益感知的公众,而高风险-低收益感知的公众对核能的接受度最低。对于影响风险-收益感知的因素,公众参与的影响最为显著,其次是对专家和政府的信任。信任和公众参与是通过风险-收益感知的中介变量,间接影响公众的核电接受度。

Exploring the Impact of Risk-benefit Perception on Public Acceptance to Nuclear Power

This study examines the impact of the interaction of public risk perception and benefit perception on public acceptance of nuclear energy. A mixed risk-benefit perception framework is developed and applied to analyze the degree of acceptance varied with the level of risk-benefit perception. To be specific, the group with low-risk-high-benefit perception expresses highest degree of acceptance of nuclear energy, followed by the groups with high-risk-high-benefit perception and low-risk-low-benefit perception, while the group with high-risk-low-benefit perception adopts the lowest degree of acceptance. Regarding to the antecedent factors that shaping public risk-benefit perception formation, public participation plays the most significant role, followed by social trust to government and nuclear power plant. It is also found that both social trust and public participation have an indirect influence on public acceptance of nuclear energy and risk-benefit perception serves as a mediating variable in the process.
