2011 年春季，美国南部和中西部发生创纪录的龙卷风，造成重大人员伤亡。作为回应，国家气象局 (NWS) 为 2012 年风暴季节制定了新的警告信息，使用了更可怕的警告语言和更具体的指示。目前的研究通过向参与者展示四种不同的实验刺激来测试这些新消息的有效性：常规电视警告消息、新的恐怖电视警告消息、常规广播警告消息和新的恐怖广播警告消息。结果表明，行为意图不受任何实验刺激的影响。然而，定期的警告信息被认为比新的恐怖信息更可信。我们还研究了与恶劣天气信息使用相关的个人特征，发现女性和经历更多风暴的人使用更多的恶劣天气信息来源。
In Spring 2011, record-level tornadoes in the South and Midwest United States resulted in significant human injury and death. In response, the National Weather Service (NWS) developed new warning messages for the 2012 storm season, utilizing more frightening warning language and more specific directions. The current study tested the effectiveness of these new messages by showing participants four different experimental stimuli: regular TV warning messages, new scary TV warning messages, regular radio warning messages, and new scary radio warning messages. Results indicated that behavioral intentions were not affected by any of the experimental stimuli. However, regular warning messages were perceived as more credible than the new scary messages. We also examined characteristics of individuals in relation to severe-weather information use and found that women and those with more storm experience used more sources of severe-weather information.
