For further information visit Dr. Slovic studies judgment and decision processes with an emphasis on decision making under conditions of risk. Dr. He also studies the factors that underlie perceptions of risk and attempts to assess the importance of these perceptions for the management of risk in society. He no longer does classroom teaching but does advise students in their research. His work examines fundamental issues such as the influence of affect on judgments and decisions. His most recent research examines psychological factors contributing to apathy toward genocide. Slovic's website: decisionresearch
