Zhrnutie	The cultural theory of risk holds that what people fear is selected by their way of life rather than by objective danger, and it measures this by scaling respondents' cultural worldviews and relating them to the hazards they choose to worry about. Mary Douglas and Aaron Wildavsky advanced the theory in their 1982 book Risk and Culture, arguing that environmental and technological dangers are picked out to defend particular social arrangements. Karl Dake operationalized it in 1991, building survey scales for the grid-group worldviews — hierarchy, egalitarianism, individualism, and fatalism — and showing that these 'orienting dispositions' predict risk concerns better than knowledge or personality. The framework explains, for instance, why egalitarians dread environmental and technological risks that they read as products of inequitable, irresponsible institutions, while individualists downplay them. As a method it combines worldview measurement with risk-rating data, testing whether cultural bias structures the perception of danger. It complements the psychometric paradigm by explaining who fears what and why.	The value-belief-norm (VBN) model explains pro-environmental behavior as the end of a causal chain that runs from basic human values, through environmental beliefs, to a felt moral obligation that activates action. Paul Stern, Thomas Dietz, and colleagues introduced it in 1999 to account for support for the environmental movement, and Stern elaborated it in 2000 as a general theory of environmentally significant behavior. The chain links Schwartz value orientations (especially biospheric and altruistic values) to an ecological worldview measured by the New Ecological Paradigm, then to awareness of adverse consequences and ascription of responsibility, which in turn activate personal norms — the internalized sense of obligation to act. Those personal norms predict several distinct classes of behavior: environmental activism, non-activist public support, private-sphere behaviors, and behavior in organizations. The model fuses Schwartz's value theory with Schwartz's norm-activation theory and the NEP, and it is typically tested with path analysis or structural equation modeling. VBN remains the leading sociological account of why people act for the environment.
