旅游者特别容易受到飓风等自然灾害的影响，因为他们可能比灾害易发地区的居民更不了解情况和准备不足。因此，了解热带气旋的特征以及游客的具体特征如何影响对飓风警报信息的情感和认知反应是灾害规划的关键组成部分。本研究采用不同相关特征（如登陆时的类别）、游客知识、飓风经验、旅行特征和调查地点（沿海或内陆）的热带气旋情景，为与自然灾害相关的社会学问题文献做出贡献。研究结果表明，风险认知和恐惧受到飓风特征和游客知识和经验的不同影响。飓风登陆时的预测类别对风险有很大影响，而恐惧对气旋的这一极其相关的特征则不那么敏感。研究结果还表明，风险和恐惧对疏散可能性的影响是强烈的和积极的。本研究显示了研究对不确定事件的认知和情感反应的价值。
Tourists are particularly vulnerable to natural disasters such as hurricanes since they might be less informed and prepared than residents of disaster-prone areas. Thus, understanding how the traits of a tropical cyclone as well as specific characteristics of tourists influence affective and cognitive responses to a hurricane warning message is a critical component in disaster planning. Using scenarios that presented tropical cyclones with different relevant characteristics (such as category at landfall), tourists’ knowledge, experience with hurricanes, trip traits, and the location of the survey (coastal or inland), this study contributes to the literature on sociological issues related to natural disasters. The findings suggest that risk perceptions and fear are influenced differently by the traits of the hurricanes and tourists’ knowledge and experience. Risk is strongly influenced by the projected category of the hurricane at landfall, while fear is not as sensitive to this extremely relevant trait of cyclones. The results also suggest that the influence of risk and fear on evacuation likelihood is strong and positive. This study shows the value of studying cognitive and affective responses to uncertain events.
