虽然在危机传播的研究历史悠久，表明在信息寻求的性别差异，很少有解决的根本原因，为什么会这样。目前的研究调查了飓风多利安之前的信息寻求行为，并表明这些差异可能是沉思处理倾向的函数。信息寻求的性别差异是温和的，他们在更高层次的反刍减弱。我们的理解观众的反应和应急管理的影响进行了讨论，沿着性别角色正常化的差异，可能会在观察到的数据中发挥作用。
While a long history of research in crisis communication has suggested sex differences in information seeking, little has addressed the underlying reasons why this may be the case. The current study examines information seeking behaviors in the time leading up to Hurricane Dorian, and suggests that these differences may be a function of ruminative processing tendencies. Sex differences in information seeking are moderated such that they attenuate at higher levels of rumination. Implications for our understanding of audience responses and emergency management are discussed, along with differences in sex role normalization that may play a factor in the observed data.
