GUESSED WP4 - Learning from experience

We examine the role of first-hand experience in shaping people’s judgments and decisions in avalanche terrain. We are particularly interested in the experience of adverse outcomes such as experiencing (or observing someone else experience) an avalanche accident. We use qualitative interviews to assess people’s willingness to take risks, their beliefs, behavior, and decision making after an avalanche experience, as well as longitudinal questionnaire designs to assess direct change in these factors following an avalanche experience.
