Dread! Talking risk and feelings with Brian Zikmund-Fisher
Channel: Risk Bites
Date: 2013-06-04

Have you ever experienced that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach? It probably meant you were dreading something. But, why is it that we dread some things and not others? And how does this affect how we feel about risk?

Brian Zikmund Fisher is back with Risk Bites to talk about how we tend to dread things that we are unfamiliar with and are beyond our control, and how that affects how we feel about risk. 

Risk Bites was created by Andrew Maynard.  This week's video was produced by:
