Attitudes & Values
Research on attitudes and values examines both fundamental theoretical issues, such as their content (e.g., affective versus cognitive), structure (e.g., ambivalent versus polarized), and assessment (e.g., implicit versus explicit), and applied issues, such as prejudice and attitudes to the environment.
This incorporates major interdisciplinary research on issues at the interface of society, public policy, technology, risk and the environment. Of particular interest are risk perceptions, risk communication, risk regulation/management and public engagement with science and technology.
