• Cognitive, developmental, and neurobiological aspects of risk judgments.
• The group effect: social influences on risk identification, analysis, and decision-making.
• Cognitive architectures as a scaffolding for risky choice models.
• Improving understanding of health-relevant numerical information.
• Risk culture as a framework for improving competence in risk management.
