Measuring Affect, Behavior and Cognition for Modeling Disaster Risk Attitudes

Abstract

The researchers modeled disaster risk attitudes using top down and bottom up approaches. Top down, they constructed an attitudinal model to comprise of affect, behavior and cognition (ABC). Bottom-up, they mined ABC semantics from narratives of disaster experiences and gathered ABC data in online and field surveys. This report presents the findings of a pilot study that was conducted online to determine the suitability of the disaster attitudinal dashboard in measuring ABC, as well as to validate the ABC model.
