The social psychology of seismic hazard adjustment: re-evaluating the international literature (2010, background): “Older people are less likely to see earthquakes as a risk when compared with younger people (Dooley et al., 1992; Farley, 1998; Heller et al., 2005; Lai and Tao, 2003; Palm, 1998; Rüstemli and Karanci, 1999; Simpson-Housley and Curtis, 1983; Spittal et al., 2008; Turner et al., 1986).”
The role of prior experience in informing and motivating earthquake preparedness (2017, background): “The experience-preparedness link could be mediated by how disaster experience influences levels of fear or anxiety (Dooley et al., 1992; Heller et al., 2005; Karanci and Aksit, 2000; Rüstemli and Karanci, 1999; Siegel et al., 2003).”
Predictors of Two Types of Earthquake Preparation (2008, background): “This result replicates previous findings on this issue (Heller et al., 2005; Mulilis et al., 2000).”
A model of household preparedness for earthquakes: how individuals make meaning of earthquake information and how this influences preparedness (2012, background): “This reiterates the tendency that people are most likely to do things that are deemed easier to undertake (Farley et al. 1993; Russell et al. 1995), have been recommended for a long time (Mileti and Darlington 1995) or are associated with general emergency preparedness (Heller et al. 2005).”
