大学生对核能发电安全风险的感知和性别差异--以辽宁省两所高校300名在校大学生为例

Gender Difference and College Students' Perception of Nuclear Power Risk:Case Study of 300 College Students from Two Universities in Liaoning Province

对科技的态度和认知程度存在着一定的性别差异。为了了解对核能安全风险感知的性别差异,本文采用了台湾学者设计的问卷,以东北大学和沈阳建筑大学两所高校的300名学生为调查对象,进行问卷调查。问卷统计结果表明,大学生对核能安全的总体风险认知处于中等水平;从性别角度分析核能安全风险感知的男女差异,得出女生比男生面对核安全更为敏感,呈现的态度更为消极。最后,本文吸收女性经验,从科技教育、科技工作、科技决策和风险沟通四个方面提出建议,以促进中国核能发电事业发展。

Different attitudes to and knowledge of science and technology exist between different genders. In order to understand the gender differences in risk perception towards nuclear power, the authors adopt a questionnaire designed by Taiwan Residents scholars. The questionnaire survey is conducted among 300 students who come from Northeastern University and Shenyang Jianzhu University. The results of the questionnaire survey show that the students are of medium level of perception to the risk of nuclear power. Analysis of the gender differences in the risk perception of nuclear energy reveals that females are more sensitive than males in their perception of nuclear energy risk and are more pessimistic about it. At the end of the paper, the authors draw on female experience and put forward suggestions from the four respects of ST education, ST work, ST decision-making and risk communication, to promote the development of nuclear power in China.
