“…People are more likely to take precautionary measures and disaster preparedness behaviors when they believe they can do it. In studies based on other theories and behavior change models, people with higher self-efficacy performed more preventive actions and disaster preparedness behaviors ( 22 , 31 , 41 , 50 – 52 ). According to a study by Newnham in Hong Kong ( 53 ), people with higher self-efficacy had fewer evacuation barriers during disasters.…”

BackgroundEarthquakes cause many casualties worldwide. Taking preventive measures and improving community preparedness is critical to reducing earthquake damage. The social cognitive theory explains how individual and environmental factors cause behavior. This review was conducted to identify the social cognitive theory structures, in research on the preparedness of households against earthquakes.Materials and methodsThis systematic review was performed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A search was conducted from January 1, 2000, to October 30, 2021 in Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Studies were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The initial search yielded 9,225 articles, and finally, 18 articles were selected. Articles were assessed using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist.ResultsEighteen articles about disaster preparedness behaviors based on the socio-cognitive constructs were identified and reviewed. The essential constructs used in the reviewed studies included self-efficacy, collective efficacy, knowledge, outcome expectations, social support, and normative beliefs.ConclusionBy identifying the dominant structures that have been used in studies related to the preparedness of households against earthquakes, researchers can implement appropriate and more cost-effective interventions by focusing on improving suitable structures.

“…In Ning et al's study in China (2021), people with higher self-efficacy had more emergency preparedness behavior ( 8 ). In a study by Greer et al in the United States (2020), it has been shown that the higher the self-efficacy of individuals, the higher their intention to prepare ( 30 ). People are likely to engage in preventive and disaster preparedness behaviors if they are confident in their ability to perform actions.…”

IntroductionEarthquakes cause a lot of damage and casualties. For various reasons, most households are not prepared for earthquakes. This study aims to identify the challenges and barriers to households' preparedness against earthquakes from the viewpoint of Kerman residents.MethodsThis qualitative-directed content analysis study was conducted from December 2021 to May 2022 in the city of Kerman in southeast Iran. Data was collected by purposive sampling through in-depth and semi-structured individual face-to-face interviews with 48 households.ResultsAfter multiple rounds of analyzing and summarizing the data based on the social-cognitive theory and taking into consideration similarities and differences, five main categories and 19 subcategories created based on the results of data analysis and including (1) Challenges related to cognitive factors (2) Challenges related to behavioral factors (3) Challenges related to the physical environment (4) Challenges related to the social environment and (5) Challenges related to financial factors.ConclusionAlthough the participants listed many challenges and barriers in different fields, in order to overcome the barriers and challenges of preparing households for an earthquake, the support of the authorities and the cooperation of the residents are necessary.

“…Although hazard intrusiveness is mentioned in PADM (Lindell, 2018), it is seldom included in disaster response studies. Instead, this idea is mostly included in hazard adjustment studies, with researchers finding that hazard intrusiveness could affect people's CRP (Greer et al, 2020;Lindell, 1994Lindell, , 2013Wu, Greer, et al, 2017) and ARP (Weinstein et al, 2000). A recent study also found hazard intrusiveness significantly predicts a latent CRP variable that is constructed by using four CRP1 variables (perceived likelihood of potential damage to their homes or properties, injuries, job disruptions, and daily routine disruptions) (Li et al, 2023).…”

This study investigates how different risk predictors influenced households’ evacuation decisions during a dual‐threat event (Hurricane Laura and COVID‐19 pandemic). The Protective Action Decision Model (PADM) literature indicates that perceived threat variables are the most influential variables that drive evacuation decisions. This study applies the PADM to investigate a dual‐threat disaster that has conflicting protective action recommendations. Given the novelty, scale, span, impact, and messaging around COVID‐19, it is crucial to see how hurricanes along the Gulf Coast—a hazard addressed seasonally by residents with mostly consistent protective action messaging—produce different reactions in residents in this pandemic context. Household survey data were collected during early 2021 using a disproportionate stratified sampling procedure to include households located in mandatory and voluntary evacuation areas across the coastal counties in Texas and parishes in Louisiana that were affected by Hurricane Laura. Structural equation modeling was used to identify the relationships between perceived threats and evacuation decisions. The findings suggest affective risk perceptions strongly affected cognitive risk perceptions (CRPs). Notably, hurricane and COVID‐19 CRPs are significant predictors of hurricane evacuation decisions in different ways. Hurricane CRPs encourage evacuation, but COVID‐19 CRPs hinder evacuation decisions.
