Abstract

Nuclear power plants and radioactive waste repositories are stigmatized as risky facilities by lay people. This study examined a new model that social trust, rather than negative emotion in the stigma susceptibility model(Peters, Burraston & Mertz, 2004), would have a pivotal role in stigma response of radioactive source technologies. Results of structural equation modeling indicate that trust in governmental agencies was important in stigma responses of radioactive source technologies. In both cases of nuclear power plants and radioactive waste repositories, trust had the direct influence on the stigma responses. Stigma responses were influenced by the perceptions of risk and benefit directly, and by trust indirectly. Risk and benefit perceptions were linked with trust directly and indirectly via affect of the technologies, but not via knowledge. The perceptions of risk and benefit were influenced indirectly via trust by the worldview of people. Negative reactivity had influence on the risk perception without the mediation of the affect on the technologies. Findings of this study imply the importance of trust in laypeople's perception on the radioactive source technologies.
