摘要

Cross-sectional surveys have been the predominant method in risk perception and communica tion research(1) and in studies that examine fac tors of influence on individual preparedness for disasters.(2) Using a hypothetical example, Siegrist(3) demonstrates in his recent commentary why a cross-sectional survey design can produce misleading re sults, and consequently may lead to inappropriate recommendations. The shortcomings of currently available cross-sectional studies are caused by a pos sible feedback between already-adopted mitigation behavior on risk perceptions. For instance, although high risk perceptions of individuals (at point in time t) may cause them to implement risk mitigation measures, these risk perceptions may decrease after the mitigation measures have been implemented and the individual is better protected against the risk (at point in time t_2). This would be reflected by a weak or negative relation between perceived risk and disaster preparedness if a cross-sectional survey is conducted after the mitigation measures are put in place (at t_2 or later). In such cases, a cross-sectional survey is un able to detect causal relationships between variables. Siegrist(3) illustrates this in an example in which vic tims of a flood who were unprepared for the flood disaster had higher flood risk perceptions compared with prepared individuals, which results in a negative association between flood risk perceptions and mit igation behavior in a cross-sectional survey after a flood event. As a solution to this problem, Siegrist(3) proposes longitudinal studies for risk perception re search to arrive at better insights into how impor tant risk perceptions really are in individual decisions about the implementation of mitigation measures. We agree that more longitudinal studies are in deed needed and could make an important contribu tion to the growing literature on individual behavior with respect to natural hazards. However, also lon gitudinal studies have their drawbacks.
