Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Arguments for testing ethnic identity and acculturation as factors in risk judgments

Notes: Understanding of risk views in multiethnic societies and in a globalizing world may be enhanced by use of mesures of ethnic identity and acculturation. This perspective reviews the literature on risk implications of these concepts, how the nature of these measures presents both opportunities and challenges to risk researches, and the degree to which ethnic identity and acculturation may be correlated with sociodemographic factors. Conceptual and methodological suggestions are made for risk research using these concepts, and hypotheses are offered about what such research might find Related records: En: Risk analysis : an international journal. - New York and London. - nº 5, October 2004 ; p. 1279-1287Materia / lugar / evento: Identidad cultural Percepción del riesgo Aspectos sociales Factores de riesgo Secondary titles: Título: Risk analysis : an international journal
