Abstract

This study investigated the interactive effect of knowledge on risk perception of emerging technologies. The results showed that objective knowledge tended to marginally decrease risk perception. Subjective knowledge, however, boosted risk perception when participants distrusted the institution and experts of the emerging technology.
