Perceived Dread

Perceived Dread is a psychological risk perception construct that captures the extent to which individuals anticipate intense fear, helplessness, or horror in response to a potential hazard, distinguishing it from other risk perceptions by its focus on emotionally anticipatory reactions to perceived uncontrollability, catastrophic potential, and personal or societal consequences.
