Abstract
Based on a systematic review of seventy-nine published studies, this chapter synthesizes empirical evidence based on the risk information seeking and processing (RISP) model (Griffin, Dunwoody, and Neuwirth 1999). In doing so, this chapter offers a detailed overview of the RISP model, reflects on its theoretical origin and subsequent development, and offers recommendations for future research. In particular, researchers need to revisit the original conceptual foundations and propositions of the RISP model and explore downstream variables such as risk-related behavioral beliefs, attitudes, and behavioral intentions. Relatedly, key constructs need to be measured in a way that is consistent with the theoretical definitions.
