  Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the influence of risk perception (knowledge and dread) of fine particles on protection behaviors. In addition, the mediating effects of risk attitude between risk perception and protection behaviors were examined. Survey data were collected from 449 people of different age groups employed in a variety of organizations and a hierarchical regression was conducted to evaluate a hypothesis. The obtained results indicated that risk perception has a positive relationship with risk attitude and protection behavior. Knowledge; a sub-scale of risk perception, was positively correlated with the risk attitude but not significant with the protection behavior. However, the other sub-scale; dread, was positively correlated with both risk attitude and protection behavior. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis revealed that both knowledge and fear have a significantly positive effect on risk attitude and that dread is more influential on the risk attitude than the knowledge. However, only dread has a significant effect on protection behavior. In addition, risk attitude mediated the relationship between the dread for fine particles and response behavior completely. Additionally, the implication and limitations of this study were discussed.
