The body of literature that has been emerged diverse both in the methodology employed to collect and analyze data and in the subject of study. The findings have confirmed that risk perceptions vary between groups of individuals as well as between categories of EHS risks. However, the extant literature on EHS risk perceptions has failed to provide empirical insights into how risk perceptions can be best explained according to the interplay of both (1) the category of EHS hazard appraised and (2) the prominent individual-level characteristics that best explain observed risk perception differences. This study addresses this deficiency in the literature by providing insights into the individual and cumulative roles that various individual-level variables play in characterizing risk perceptions to various categories of EHS risks including ‘agentic risks’ like street drug use and cigarette smoking, ‘emerging technological risks’ like nanoparticles and cloning, and ‘manufacturing risks’ like air and chemical pollution. Our data are drawn from the 2009 Citizens, Science, and Emerging Technologies national study of United States households that investigated public perceptions of EHS risks, traditional and emerging media use, and various individual characteristics like personal demographics, socioeconomic factors, and perceptual filters. The findings show that some categories of EHS risks like those associated with emerging technologies may be more easily predicted than other categories of risks and that individual-level characteristics vary in their explanative power between risk categories even among a single sample of respondents.}, number={10}, journal={JOURNAL OF RISK RESEARCH}, author={Cummings, Christopher L. and Berube, David M. and Lavelle, Mary E.}, year={2013}, month={Nov}, pages={1277–1295} } @inbook{watson_berube_hristov_strohecker_betz_allen_burczyk_howard_mcgee_gymer_et al._2013, title={VIA - Visualizing Individual Actions to Develop a Sustainable Community Culture through Cycling}, ISBN={9783642393501 9783642393518}, ISSN={0302-9743 1611-3349}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-39351-8_35}, DOI={10.1007/978-3-642-39351-8_35}, abstractNote={Improving the sustainability of our society requires significant change in our collective behavior.

Generating benchmark data to assess research and policy initiatives seems daunting. This study's findings present more granular and qualitative assessments of expert preferences and concerns. This three-round Delphi study elicits expert estimations of problematic nanoparticle characteristics and classifications from a sample of nanoscience experts in chemistry, EHS policy, engineering, environmental toxicology, and human toxicology (n = 18). The Delphi method is a forecasting tool designed for expert evaluation of events under high degrees of uncertainty.

The Digital Media and Society Series includes 12 books on diverse topics ranging from the challenges facing the music industry to the explosion of mobile communication. We have chosen to focus on 3 of the 12 books in this review to provide a snapshot of the research you can expect from Polity; each book in the series deserves its own thorough review and we recommend all 12 books in the series for their own respective audiences and purposes.

McLuhan may have been partially correct, but it seems overly defeatist to relegate medium studies to the field of history, and despite its contemporaneity, many scholars have actively criticized our current dominant medium: the Internet. Although some academics have certainly taken a utopian stance to the Internet—most notably early theorists such as Negroponte (1996) and Lèvy (1997)—others have criticized the growth of the Internet from diverse disciplinary perspectives. The popular press, however, has seen much more of the Wired-inspired techno-utopian writing than any kind of cogent criticism on how life is being reshaped by a near complete reliance on the Internet. It is within this context that Nicholas Carr and Jaron Lanier set out to establish a necessary corrective to the techno-utopian strands that run through the popular literature on the Internet. The two authors come from different backgrounds—Carr is a New York Times best-selling journalist and Lanier is a founding father of virtual reality and an influential tech guru—and use different support for their arguments, but both books can be read together as a criticism of the blind and indiscriminate embrace of the Internet by the public at large. They remind the reader that technological adoption has consequences, and we all need to consider whether the consequences are worth it. For that, they should be commended. However, both books also suffer from major weaknesses that mar their intended effectiveness. We will start with a brief description of Carr's The Shallows and then move on to Lanier's You Are Not a Gadget.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION}, author={Frith, Jordan and Morain, Matt and Cummings, Chris and Berube, David}, year={2011}, month={Feb}, pages={E9–E12} } @misc{berube_2009, title={Panicology: What are you afraid of?
