Learning to live with black bears: A psychological model of acceptance (2012, methodology): “However, theoretical models developed in psychology to understand acceptance of hazards (i.e., Siegrist 1999, 2000; Siegrist and Cvetkovich 2000) can be readily adapted to understanding the acceptance of wildlife, especially those species that are sometimes viewed as hazards (i.e., posing a threat…”
Consumer acceptance, valuation of and attitudes towards genetically modified food: Review and implications for food policy (2008, background): “Consequently, the fact that consumers appear not to trust government and industry infers that merely underlining the associated benefits of GM food over conventionally produced food is not a sufficient stimulus to modify consumers' perceptions towards such a technology (Siegrist, 2000b).”
Household energy use: Applying behavioural economics to understand consumer decision-making and behaviour (2015, background): “use trust as a simple decision-making heuristic when assessing risk and making cost-benefit appraisals [96–101], with an entity’s trustworthiness resting on apparent expertise and experience (i.”
Salient Value Similarity, Social Trust, and Risk/Benefit Perception (2000, background): “It has been found that the significant negative relationship between perceptions of risks and benefits of gene technology vanished or diminished when level of social trust was held constant (Siegrist, 1999, 2000).”

Determining Where the Wild Things will be: Using Psychological Theory to Find Tolerance for Large Carnivores (2014, background): “Hazardacceptance theory explicitly addresses this dilemma by positing that the risks and benefits one associates with a hazard are not necessarily a result of a logical costbenefit analysis, rather they are a function of the social trust one perceives in a management authority; that is, the agency c”
