Abstract

When a tornado hits, there is little time to think through mental checklists for needed items. This study attempted to understand what information sources those in the path of tornados utilized for preparation and how those sources influence people to act. Results from the study indicate TV and radio are the top two information sources and some visual graphics—gauged via heat maps to understand higher levels of severe weather preparation—were reported as useful. Contrary to meteorological intentions, results showed participants were less likely to prepare for impending weather when radar displayed tornado locations and intensity. Additionally, those who identified as having more interest in weather-related information in the study were significantly more likely to prepare, along with those who fear future tornadoes. Each variable explored is underpinned by the Theory of Planned Behavior and the risk information seeking and processing (RISP) model to better understand behavioral intentions and actions. This study offers two new concepts of general weather not previously explored: interest and general versus specific storm preparation.
你看到我看到的了吗?媒体选择和视觉龙卷风线索如何影响个人风暴准备
当龙卷风袭来时,几乎没有时间仔细思考所需物品的心理清单。这项研究试图了解龙卷风路径上的人们利用哪些信息来源进行准备,以及这些信息来源如何影响人们的行动。研究结果表明,电视和广播是最重要的两个信息来源,一些视觉图形——通过热图测量,以了解更高水平的恶劣天气准备——被报道是有用的。与气象意图相反,结果显示,当雷达显示龙卷风的位置和强度时,参与者不太可能为即将到来的天气做好准备。此外,那些在研究中对天气相关信息更感兴趣的人,以及那些担心未来龙卷风的人,更有可能做好准备。探索的每个变量都以计划行为理论和风险信息寻求与处理(RISP)模型为基础,以更好地理解行为意图和行动。这项研究提供了两个以前没有探索过的一般天气的新概念:兴趣和一般与特定风暴准备。
