Risk Diffusion is a theoretical framework within the domain of risk communication that explains how perceived risks attenuate in magnitude or salience as they spread across broader social networks, media channels, or geographic regions, distinguishing itself from related models by emphasizing decentralization and dilution of risk perception over time and space.
