Effects of COVID-19 Misinformation on Information Seeking, Avoidance, and Processing: A Multicountry Comparative Study (2020, methodology): “Affective responses, which result from risk perceptions, increase an individual’s desire for information (Griffin et al., 2008; So et al., 2019; Yang & Kahlor, 2013).”
What, Me Worry? The Role of Affect in Information Seeking and Avoidance (2013, methodology): “People experiencing anger might attempt to reassert control over a situation by collecting more information about it (Griffin et al., 2008).”
Risk Information Seeking Among U.S. and Dutch Residents (2009, methodology): “Three such hazard characteristics typically used in tests of the RISP model to date have been risk perception, institutional trust, and personal efficacy (Griffin et al., 2008).”
YouTube, Social Norms and Perceived Salience of Climate Change in the American Mind (2017, background): “…bring to the topic (Leiserowitz, Maibach, Roser-Renouf, & Hmielowski, 2012; Schweizer, Davis, & Thompson, 2013) and typically registers as an “impersonal” risk, i.e., one that does not seem to affect them personally (Griffin et al., 2008; Kahlor, 2010; Kahlor, Dunwoody, Griffin, & Neuwirth, 2006).”
Perception and Communication of Flood Risks: A Systematic Review of Empirical Research (2013, background): “[36]) Most studies therefore operationalize hazard knowledge as perceived knowledge, by asking respondents to what extent they think or believe their knowledge reaches about riskrelated topics.”
How to trust? The importance of self‐efficacy and social trust in public responses to industrial risks (2009, background): “As such, this trust could refer to trust in the self (i.e. perceived self-efficacy) to adequately cope with the risk as well (Slovic 1987, 1999; Kuttschreuter 2006; Kasperson, Golding, and Tuler 1992; ter Huurne and Gutteling 2008; Griffin et al. 2008).”

Information needs and risk perception as predictors of risk information seeking (2008, methodology): “Griffin et al. (2006) argued that ‘…cognitions and affect interact in complex but, occasionally, predictable ways to influence information gathering…’ (27).”
