| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted a questionnaire survey for undergraduate students and the general public in order to examine the relevance among technologies (e.g., nuclear power generation, Gene manipulation) and the risk perception of each technology. The results showed the positive correlation between the perceptions of each target technology and its theoretically predicted perception of the technology, which was calculated as the sum of perceptions of the other technologies weighted by the relevance to the target technology. The results suggest the perception of technology is not evaluated independently but with that of reference to other related technology.
