“…Our study indicates that LTSDI is positively related to media connectedness. Such findings are consistent with past research—people's dependency on media increases when their ambiguity rises (Ball-Rokeach, 1973; Jung & Moro, 2014; Kwesell & LeNoble, 2021). When people continue to live with LTSDI, they may continue to have high media dependency and search for information across a wide array of sources (Ball-Rokeach & DeFleur, 1976).…”

“…As Turner et al (2006) found anxiety to be a motivator for information seeking, persistent PTSD is likely to also motivate people to continuously monitor a disaster situation, especially as it remains ambiguous. Ball-Rokeach and Jung (2009) suggest a desire to understand a pervasively ambiguous situation in the immediate post-disaster context leads to greater reliance on mainstream media, which has been supported in multiple studies (Kim et al, 2004; Kwesell & LeNoble, 2021; Jung & Kwesell, 2021).…”

“…Photographs can indeed enforce a certain viewpoint, but how do disaster-survivors respond to distributed photographs of the situation they experienced? Kwesell and LeNoble (2021) examined this relationship in their study conducted six years after the Great East Japan Earthquake and found responses to be both visceral and complex, promoting post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and PTG, a relationship that has yet to be explored in other research.…”

“…While various studies have found that photographs shared on social media can accelerate rumors and result in panic and fear (Naeem, 2021), others have found they can act as a conduit promoting constructive sharing and even community (Rafi et al, 2020). Furthermore, while impactful photographs of disasters in mainstream media have been found to elicit stimuli of a negative event slowing individuals’ internal recovery, they have also been found to offer a therapeutic quality that allows viewers to process past trauma and even incite post-traumatic growth (PTG; Kwesell & LeNoble, 2021). Despite these findings, there is a gap in the research.…”

“…Intervention workshops could be conducted to initiate local people and evacuees to discuss and share with one another. If sharing is not possible through talking or writing, other forms of media including photography could be engaged (see Kwesell 2020;Kwesell and LeNoble, 2021). Past research found that a photography workshop in a coastal village helped residents cope with disaster (Kwesell 2020) and perhaps a similar model could be employed to help residents and evacuees cope with one another.…”
