通过移动的电话收到的警告信息有可能警告人们即将发生的危险或危机。提供有关危机的信息可以帮助人们表现出足够的安全行为并防止伤害。进行虚拟现实（VR）实验以调查通过移动的手机应用程序接收到的关于雷暴的警告消息对人们的安全行为的影响。31人在VR中完成了实践和实验场景。每个参与者都在实验场景中探索了一个城市，但干预组（IG）收到了一条警告信息，其中包含有关即将到来的雷暴的信息。对照组未收到此类信息。安全行为是通过比较参与者到达自己选择的安全区所需的时间和距离来衡量的。结果，与对照组相比，干预组需要更少的时间和更短的路线到达安全区。相比之下，通过虚拟移动的手机应用程序提供信息可以帮助调查危机中的行为，并在现实模拟中评估危机沟通。
Warning messages received on a mobile phone have the potential to warn the population of imminent hazards or crises. Giving information about a crisis can be helpful for people to show adequate safety behavior and prevent harm. A virtual reality (VR) experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of a received warning message via mobile phone app regarding a thunderstorm on people's safety behavior. Thirty-one people completed a practice and experimental scenario in VR. Every participant explored a city in the experimental scenario, but the intervention group (IG) received a warning message which contained information about an approaching thunderstorm. The control group did not receive such message. The safety behavior was measured by comparing the time and distance the participants needed to achieve a self-chosen safe zone. In result, the intervention group needed less time and used shorter routes to reach a safe zone in contrast to the control group. By contrast, the giving information via virtual mobile phone app can help to investigate behavior in crises and evaluate crisis communication in a realistic simulation.
