摘要: ABSTRACTComplexity and uncertainty influence opinions, beliefs, decisions about health, safety, other kinds of risk, as demonstrated in research on climate change, storm forecasts, pandemic disease, domains. Drawing from this research, article summarizes insights into how people understand process uncertain or complex information explores key oil spill response-relevant issues regarding the communication complexity uncertainty—from presentation uncertainties around forecast parameters to deployment online response simulation tools. Recommended practices include (a) continue develop evaluate interactive Web-based simulations help users explore tradeoffs decisions, (b) take simplify account designing communications processes products (and evaluate), (c) provide numbers along with verbal probability descriptions, (d) ...
