Personality, Risk Perception, Benefit Sought and Terrorism Effect: Perceived Risk and Terrorism Effect
Open accessAbstract
Risk perception can affect travel decision-making. It is subjective and variable among different people. The purposes of this study are threefold: it examines the relationship between personality and risk perception, risk perception and benefit sought and finally tests to see whether willingness to travel alters after a terrorist attack and how this differs across different personalities. To do this, a random sample of 475 British households was selected to facilitate the analysis. The findings show that there are differences in terms of people's personality and risk perception. Benefit sought and risk perceptions are partially related, but not in the context of terrorism attacks in seaside resorts, where terrorism creates an atmosphere of uncertainty that leave the door open for fear, and the lack of ability to control the risk stops even the most confident traveller.

Potential travelers may have different risk perceptions based on sociodemographic characteristics, personality traits, and previous travel experiences.
“Potential travelers may have different perceptions of risks based on sociodemographic characteristics (Reisinger & Crotts, 2009; Zhan, Zeng, Morrison, Liang, & Coca-Stefaniak, 2020), personality traits (Morakabati & Kapuściński, 2016), and previous travel experiences (Sharifpour, Walters, & Ritchie, 2014).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
