我们评估了公众对旧金山弗朗西斯科地震预测的反应，海湾地区的八个海湾地区县的家庭样本。描述性研究结果表明，地震文化存在于研究人群中。我们使用多元回归分析测试了对互动主义理论的批评--它没有考虑行为动机和社会地位。我们的结论是，动机和社会地位的问题，在确定社会行动，并需要更多的工作，以确定如何在新的信息的变化产生歧义，差异促进搜索，替代定义的形成，以及随后的行动。
We assessed public response to an earthquake prediction for the San Francisco, Bay Area on a sample of households from eight Bay Area counties. Descriptive findings suggested that an earthquake culture exists in the study population. We tested criticisms of interactionist theory - its failure to take motives for behavior and social position into account - using multiple regression analysis. We conclude that motives and social position matter little in determining social action, and that more work is needed to determine how variations in new information create ambiguity, which differentially fosters searching, the formation of alternative definitions, and subsequent action.
