这项探索性的研究有助于我们的知识之间的关系，人际沟通来源和风险感知有关的自然灾害。利用西北地区一个小村庄的调查数据（N= 186），探讨了与减灾相关的8种人际传播源与8种自然灾害的感知严重度和感知发生可能性之间的相关性。过去的研究表明，人际传播来源更有可能影响个人对自然灾害严重程度的感知，而不是对发生可能性的感知。这项研究的结果适度证实了这一发现。结果表明，不同的来源有不同的关系，风险感知，正相关之间的信息，通过某些训练有素的科学专业人员（科学教师、应急人员、科学专家）和某些自然灾害风险认知，而通过某些个人接触获得信息与（其他村民和亲友）和某些自然灾害风险认知。然而，这些关系的强度很弱（-0.197 ≥r≤ 0.245）。年龄表现出统计学显着的相关性与感知的严重性，大多数的自然灾害。为了更好地理解人际传播源如何影响个体的自然灾害风险感知，需要更多的代表性样本和理论因素控制的研究。
This exploratory study contributes to our knowledge about the relationships between interpersonal communication sources and risk perception regarding natural hazards. Survey data (N= 186) from a small village in northwest China was used, and the correlations between eight types of interpersonal communication sources related to disaster risk reduction and the perceived severity and perceived likelihood of occurrence of eight types of natural hazards were explored. Past studies have suggested that interpersonal communication sources are more likely to influence individuals in their perceived severity of natural hazards than in their perceived likelihood of occurrence. The results of this study moderately corroborate this finding. The results indicated that different sources have different relationships to risk perception, as positive correlations were found between obtaining information via certain trained science professionals (science teachers, emergency responders, scientific experts) and certain natural hazard risk perceptions, while negative relationships were found between obtaining information via certain personal contacts (other villagers and relatives and friends) and certain natural hazard risk perceptions. However, the strength of these relationships was weak (− 0.197 ≥r≤ 0.245). Age showed statically significant correlations with the perceived severity of most of the natural hazards. Studies with more representative samples and controls for theoretical factors are needed to better understand how interpersonal communication sources affect individuals' natural hazard risk perceptions.
