A random sample of US-born young was surveyd. Seven risk factors were identified: health, political instability, terrorism, strange food, cultural barriers, a nations's political and religious dogma, and crime. The study revealed that women perceived a greater degree of risk regarding health and food. Tourist role was the most significant variable, with variable, with familiarity seekers being the most risk adverse. |
