A sampleof 433 PsycINFO abstracts published between 1887 and 1998 was analysed considering the growth rate forpublications with risk* in title and the use of the risk concept in different areas of psychology. The distributionof references per area suggests that there were four periods of incorporation of the risk concept in psychologicalliterature: 1887-1949; 1950-1969; 1970-1989 and 1990-1998. Publications tended to address two issues - whois at risk and why people take risks reflecting psychologys concern with subjectivity. Results also suggestedthat the risk concept has been imported a-critically from other disciplines without discussion of its implicationsfor governmentality. 2007 artículo científico 0034-9690 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28441205 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=284 Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology application/pdf Sociedad Interamericana de Psicología Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology (Puerto Rico) Num.2 Vol.41 |
