- Containment
- Organizational learning about silos applies to information compartmentalization in security contexts, a dynamic Slovic (1987) explores in his foundational work on how perceived versus actual risk shapes the political sustainability of protective measures.
This sourceFoundational risk-perception research: documents the systematic divergence between perceived and actuarial risk and analyzes how visibility, dread, and familiarity shape the political sustainability of risk-mitigation infrastructure.

- Evolutionary Trap
- Public health — vaccine-fear cues outweighing diffuse benefit cues, or antibiotic over-prescription driven by satisfaction cues that do not track infection risk.
This sourceEstablishes that public risk perception is driven by 'dread' and 'unknown' factors and affect rather than expected harm, so salient fear cues (e.g. of vaccines) can outweigh diffuse benefit cues — the public-health cue mismatch.
