Question

A paper by Sheila Jasanoff likens this concept to Aboriginal Australian “songlines.” Triplets symbolized (si, pi, ci) (“s-sub-i, p-sub-i, c-sub-i”) formalize answers to three questions in a “quantitative definition” of this concept by Stanley Kaplan and B. J. Garrick. A factor analysis of perception of this concept by psychologist Paul Slovic isolated its “dread” (10[1])subtype. A 2006 political science book by Jacob Hacker decries a “Great” “Shift” in this quantity from the rich to the poor. It’s not modernity, but this noun names a post-industrial society theorized by Ulrich Beck. (-5[1])A person with a [emphasize] (10[1])convex utility function is said to “seek” this (10[8]-5[1])concept and (10[1])thus has (10[1])a negative “premium” for (10[4])it. Entire (10[1])financial (10[1])markets are affected by a “systemic” type of this (10[1])thing. For 10 (10[2]-5[1])points, prospect theory holds that humans are highly “averse” to what chance (10[1])of negative (10[1])outcomes? (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: risk [accept risk perception; accept dread risk; accept The Great Risk Shift; accept systemic risk; accept risk-seeking after “convex”; accept risk-averse or risk aversion after “prospect”; prompt on hazard; prompt on uncertainty; prompt on danger]
