The article presents the results of using the “psychometric paradigm” methodology (P. Slovic, B. Fischhoff, S. Lichtenstein and others) to study the perception of cyber risks and compare them with other risks designated as “traditional”. The respondents in the online survey were presented with seven cyber risks (from computer games to hacker attacks and viruses) and 65 traditional risks (from natural disasters to nuclear power plants and terrorism), assessed by 8 characteristics. As a result, computer games were perceived differently compared to other cyber risks: first of all, they do not cause fear. Other cyber risks are localized in the area of relatively unknown and moderately dread risks, but they do not form a separate cluster. Radiation therapy, herbicides and pesticides are the closest to cyber risks in the two-dimensional space of risk perception. The results of this pilot survey may be considered as a reflection of the sample used, where the main participants were active Internet users who were able to distinguish between the presented cyber risks.
