Leonard, S. David, Creel, Elisabeth and Karnes, Edward W. (1991): Adequacy of Responses to Warning Terms. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 35th Annual Meeting 1991. pp. 1024-1028.
“Previous research has indicated that many persons have difficulty in describing the seriousness of hazards that are associated with some terms frequently used in warnings. Alternative explanations for this failure could be lack of understanding or simply inability to express their knowledge. Two studies were conducted in an effort to get more definitive information about what the general public knows about these terms. The obtained evidence suggested that many terms commonly used alone in warnings are not adequate to inform users of the extent of the hazards associated with those warnings. These results are discussed in terms of the need for completeness in warnings.”
