Abstract:
There were three purposes of thc prcsent research. The first was to test whether some of the discrepancies found in the hazard and risk perception literature werc due to differcnces between t h e connotations of the terms hazard and risk.

Abstract:
The first step in producing warning compliance is getting the user to notice the warning. Although research has examined various factors of consumer product warnings, very few studies have objectively measured the noticeability of warnings. In the present study one indicant of noticeability, response time, was measured as a function of several warning label factors.…

This chapter reviews some of the basic research methodolo- gies used to investigate warning effectiveness. Selected studies are used as examples to describe how specific methods are im- plemented. Although some results are discussed, the goal is to focus on the methods used to achieve the results. This chapter is organized based on the information…

Abstract:
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently unveiled a public education framework titled “Preparing Makes Sense. Get Ready Now” designed to inform citizens how to respond during national emergencies such as nuclear, chemical, and biological terrorist attacks. Within the framework, pictorial safety symbols are used to communicate the nature of the hazards and the…

Abstract:
Previous research has shown that distractor faces made up of features of previously seen target faces are more likely to be selected as targets than the targets themselves. The present experiments sought to determine whether there is a tendency to pick a face out of a lineup if the face is more similar to the…

38. Lesch, M., Powell, W., Horrey, W. & Wogalter, M. (2012b). Older adults’ comprehension of warning symbols: Effects of contextual cues. Proceedings of the Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics International Conference.
Abstract:
Safety communications often incorporate symbols since they have the potential to be seen from further distances than text, to be remembered better than text, and to communicate to target populations of varying language backgrounds. While there are clear advantages to incorporating symbols into warning communications, several studies indicate that older adults have greater difficulty than…
