    • Learning from what might have been – judgments and evaluations of counterfactual outcomes 

      Terum, Jens Andreas (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-03-23)
      The aim of the present thesis is to contribute to the understanding of how people construct hypothetical alternatives to past events, and further explore the role of such counterfactual thinking in learning from accidents and near-accidents. In Paper 1 we introduced the notion that counterfactual thinking is a form of mental simulation that relies on abstract, gist based representations of the ...
    • Lessons learned from accident and near-accident experiences in traffic 

      Terum, Jens Andreas; Svartdal, Frode (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-17)
      The focus of this article is risky behavior in traffic. What do people learn from accidents and near-accidents? Experience with accidents may demand increased caution. However, near-accidents are inherently ambiguous: On the one hand, they signal that margins were good enough, inspiring increased risk-taking; on the other hand, they signal danger that could induce increased caution. To explore these ...

    • Trend effects on perceived avalanche hazard 

      Terum, Jens Andreas; Mannberg, Andrea; Hovem, Finn Kristoffer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-30)
      Hazard-level forecasts constitute an important risk mitigation tool to reduce loss of economic values and human life. Avalanche forecasts represent an example of this. As for many other domains, avalanche risk is communicated using a color-coded, categorical risk scale aimed at informing the public about past, current, and future risk. We report the results from three experiments in which we ...
