Solution

False.

Risk perception is not about an individual's willingness to accept a certain amount of risk. Instead, it refers to an individual's subjective judgment about the severity of a risk, or the degree of threat posed by a particular risk. It's about how a person views or interprets a risk, not how much risk they're willing to accept.

Willingness to accept risk is more closely related to the concept of risk tolerance.
