Risk Perception Gaps – Risk Perceptions and Experience of Harm in Singapore, South Korea and China

In the second Project Wavelength report employing survey data from Singapore, South Korea, and China, we looked at the perceptions of risks among the the three countries and how they compared against each other. 

Infectious diseases were a leading source of worry for respondents in all three countries, but beyond this shared concern, there were considerable cross-national differences in terms of which risks respondents worried about the most. Chronic disease was the 3rd highest worry in Singapore; environmental pollution and violent crime were ranked in the top three in Korea; and food safety was only a leading worry in China.
