Abstract:A structural equation model has been developed to study the perceived risk of smog,related factors and coping behaviors,based on the data collected from a large-scale questionnaire survey during the recent se-rious smog time. Results show that individuals who are more sensitive to environmental information,who have a higher level of perceived risk and more knowledge about smog,and who perceive more controllability,will be more likely to have protective and coping behavior,and more willing to purchase health protection prod-ucts. In particular,perceived risk plays as a strong mediation role between environmental information and cop-ing behaviors as well as environment satisfaction. In other words,when smog pollution arouses public per-ceived risk,they will take more coping behaviors and will give a worse evaluation of the environment. In addi-tion,the perceived controllability of smog plays a partial mediation role between the familiarity of smog knowl-edge and coping behaviors,and between the familiarity of smog knowledge and environment satisfaction.
