Figure 1
The diagram illustrates the risk communication and resource negotiation process. It includes key components such as Risk Communication Approaches, Risk Frames for both Requester and Receiver, Resourcing Determination, Resourcing Decision Calculus, and Contestation. The process involves the Requester and Receiver, each with their own Risk Frames, interacting through Risk Communication Approaches and Contestation, which involve means-end propositions and rebuttals, as well as influence tactics. The Receiver's Resourcing Decision Calculus considers issue credibility and mitigation feasibility before coming to a Resourcing Determination, which includes approving or denying requests, negotiated allocation, and referral. Dashed-line boxes represent overall process steps, while shapes with solid outlines denote aggregate dimensions and themes.Grounded model of the risk communication and resource negotiation process.
