People’s
risk perceptions can be strongly affected by context. These studies examine different types of
context effects, including anchoring.

Risk perception and

study vaccination decisions as an example of health-related decisions that
require careful deliberation and planning.
These decisions are an ideal applied setting in which to study
theories about risk perception. More articles on HPV vaccination are here.
